Iniebinotu,
I have come to address ‘My People’
according to the Izon (Ijaw) language of South-South, Nigeria. You know one thing
that has happened to Nigerian languages is the modification by Westerners
during the era of colonization. I still hold this opinion strongly that we
should either revert to the original names or at least, let them reflect in our
historical books. However, that’s not what we have come to discuss today.
There are certain people that we
know either in business, sports, entertainment and other spheres of life that
started their practice before us and we can tell their success story over time.
When we see them in the media, we utter statements like, ‘I know him very well; he was my classmate’ etc. However, the
journey to stardom can be in different ways; some are out of desperation while
some are basically pure ambition.
