My name is Inyang John,
I want to share a fraction of who I am to ya all.
My dad is a meat scientist so he had a huge poultry farm as at that time.
He was fond of giving people chicken as a take home gift and each time he did this, I will be so bitter about it.
I grew up in an environment where my mum was the only lady around, so it was myself and my brother's.
What most of you enjoy like, here is my sister, this is my elder sister etc was very far from me and because of this, I hated the female folks too.
Because of this, I hated giving and I hated the female folks.
Please do not blame me, I grew up with my brothers and we played together.
I stayed all my day's in the primary school without saying hello to a beautiful girl, let me simply say this, it was because I was also a shy guy.
As I grew up, I came to understand why it is always said, MAN IS A PRODUCT OF HIS ENVIRONMENT "
My dad was a strick man, he played with other kid's but got very serious at home and until today, I am yet to understand why he treated us like that.
Because of this, we were so Afraid of him.
The day it is your turn to wash plates and you mistakenly break any of the plates, you are done for that day.
My dad had a special cane for every of us, ranging from my elder brother to our last child.
Immediately you break any of the plates, get ready for your cane.
I just want to say this, despite how strick my dad was, his cane was not really that painful, I will always scream as if he has killed me but believe me it was just a strategy for him to let me be.
My mum on her own was not helping matters,during those one on one with dad, you will wish she is going to plead on your behalf but far from it.
Let me use this opportunity to celebrate my dad immediately, he is one of the best men I have ever known. He is a goal getter, always pushing you to be awesome.
Amongst my brothers, I am the most feared and the most respected.
When it comes to my matters, my wishes is always granted.
Now during those days, I was so close to my dad and whenever he is back from work, I will stick to him like stick sweet.
I loved my mum the most but I enjoyed my dad more.
Most times my dad was always jealous each time he comes to my mum's room and we were all with her. To him, he felt we loved my mum the more.
Back to not helping people while I was growing up.
There was this day a friend came and after she wanted going back home, my mum as usual just like my dad went to bring one grown fowl for her.
To her surprise, I rushed from where I was and I started shouting mummy don't give her my fowl.
Everyone who was around was shocked at my attitude.
Until today, I am still wondering where I got such guts from.
My mum sat me down and explained to me why I must learn to give and the importance of giving. After that encounter, I got the best lessons that it is more blessed to give than to receive and from that moment, I became a giver.
I was just funny growing up. I became the father Christmas of the house, when a visitor visited and wanted going back, I will always shout mum let's give them a fowl.
I learnt how to give From my mum, she is amazing and I celebrate her immediately.
Now back to my life and the female folks, as I grew up, I was so scared of the ladies, simply because I didn't have a sister, most times I will always ask mum why we do not have a sister in this house and she will always tell me to go and ask my dad.
Most of my childhood friends had sisters and they helped them in so many things.
For not having a sister, I learnt how to cook at that early stage, I learnt how to go to the farm, I learnt how to weed and I also learnt how to fetch fire wood from the farm.
My dad is an animal and meat scientist so we got use to all those animal's.
As I grew up, I started appreciating the female folks but I was just sad I didn't have one.
Most times I will just imagine I had and I will simply say to myself, I wish I had, I would have taken good care of her, I would have given her all my toys and I would have protected her from bullies.
Why I am I writing this? I am writing this because I am bored and I needed to free my spirit. I might not really be good at writing but I know when I am passionate about writing, I usually will always give you what you want.
I am a twin and most times people say John do you know you are the opposite of your twin.
When I ask how, I usually get this, you are calm but your twin is more calm.
Now let me say this, he is my twin, yeah but I have my best attributes too.
We cannot be the same at all times.
Most times when people meet us, it is the way I will relate with you that will make you understand that this is either John or Michael.
I have once walked on the road and I got a wonderful hug from a lady whom I have never seen before and I was wondering who is this person and why she had to hug me like that.
I was embarrassed and at the same time I played along.
She said, Michael how are you doing, long time, where have you been. At that point, I came to understand where the almighty hug was coming from.
I kindly send gently told her, you hugged the wrong guy and she almost fainted.
I had to calm her down and show her a picture of myself and my twin before she believed I was actually the wrong guy.
(things we twin's face most of the times you might not know)
During my days in the University, my twin once borrowed a lab coat from a lady simply because the one we had, I was using it that day.
I was just in the lab when a girl walked up to me and said, give me, I want to start going, I was wondering what she wants me to give to her and I immediately asked her ma'am please what do you want me to give to you, she said the lab coat I gave to you.
Immediately I understood my twin must have borrowed it from her, I told her this is not your lab coat and I took her to where my twin was and the girl shouted and pleaded I should forgive her.
Let me stop here for now, I will be back to continue writing, I am yet to pass a message, give me some time, let me think about the message, I will surely come back to finish this.
