I am a young dynamic and enterprising African tree by nomenclature Chukwueke, Obinna Benjamin, who was described as a seed thirty-one years ago.This seed was cautiously sown in the most beautiful location of the Western part of Africa: NIGERIA. Yet nature didn’t just take me to Nigeria, but to the most industrious and productive part of the Eastern ‘HAERTLAND’ (Imo State). On the wings of surprises, it took me through the most populous local government area of OWERRI-NORTH and down to a town called NAZE in a hamlet known as EZEAKIRI.
