My Dad pt1
PART 1
Once I was just a little girl. Born to a beautiful family in the heart of Africa. My dad just came back from overseas and married my mother. So as their first child, he tried giving me all he could in his own way. Actually, he's been away for some years, studying as an engineering student. So, coming back with that portfolio to Nigeria was something to be very proud of in the 70s. So he thought getting my mom would be as easy as him deciding it. But no. My mom was another classy and principled girl at that time. With his whiteman lifestyle then, he had to farm for her parents just to get her attention apart from the traditional protocols. So they finally got married in the early 80s, and ops here I come. The first child. My mother gave me the name Gift, to mean the gracious gift of God.
