CHAPTER THREE.
Of a truth, I never knew what life was like until I got to the university area！I had this friend who made me come over and I enjoyed my stay with him because we were always out playing and I wondered if he had time for his studies. So, he told me they were on strike.
Ever since I knew my boss, I observed that he treated his children differently. Ugochi would come to the shop and be sweeping it, Chando would come around and be jumping up and down. Later, he would be the one to take the biggest share of okpa that his father would buy！I never cared because I was attending to customers.
Though, he had two wives, he told me that the second one was to serve as a distraction. I never knew what that meant but I believed that he had a point.
Engr Dogras Egbola came from a nearby town and he had this manner of greeting people that made them see his set of open teeth！Later, I joined them in calling him, Okwaji.
I guess it never made him angry but he warned me a several occasions because he was a towncrier in their town. When his shop got burnt, I thought he was going to call his brother who was a taskforce officer but he told me to leave those ones out of the matter.
He had a silent way of dealing with miscreants that I learnt from him. Later, he called some people and showed them what had become of his shop and they pitied him！He took pictures of the place and started rebuilding from the #scratch.
On my 19th birthday, my aunt promised to sponsor my trip to Alabama and I never looked back. When I return, the government would have to explain to me why they banned my ambition.
I had my own craft, my own vision, my own assembly plant and my own investment blueprint but they never believed in me！
Here I am Alabama！Show me my own Roadside.
