Greetings to everyone! I am Ajudua Cyprian Ifechukwude, born on March 11, 1998, into the family of Chief and Mrs Afam Ajudua in Ibusa, Delta State. As the fourth child among three sisters and a brother, I once enjoyed the privilege of being the youngest. However, this changed when the arrival of my youngest sibling shifted the family's attention and love.

I started my primary school at a very young age. My primary was Santa Maria Private School, Ibusa, Delta State. During my primary school days, I always gave my siblings trouble, because I was not a lover of school. Every single day, I would carry it in their hands going to school and also coming back. But the truth of the matter is that I always make them come late, and because of that, they are sometimes flogged or punished. Nevertheless, I was never punished, but as time went on I began to have a keen interest in schooling.

Although, I am an introvert, and because of that, I am being bullied by my classmates and sometimes my younger colleagues. I know this would make you laugh, please do, if you have the course to. When I was in primary school, I did not know my real name, I was always called, "Ajudua". Though, I had a pet name. But please don't call me a dog or a cat, because I am human. Anyway, it was when I wanted to write my Primary School leaving Certificate, that I got to know my native name, "Ifechukwude". To surprise you, even when I entered secondary school I was still bearing, "Ajudua Ifechukwude".

Nonetheless, it was when I got to JSS 3, that I got to know that, "Cyprian", was my first name. You might be surprised about this, my dearest readers, but this is the truth.

Will I say, I did not enjoy my secondary school days, or it was because it was an All Boys' school? To me, I did not live a balanced life, because there was no girl. Moreover, because of this, we always anticipate going home during the break or holidays, because it was an all-boarding school.

However, after secondary school, I was admitted to study Theatre Arts at the University of Uyo. Theatre arts is my dream course, and I was happy that I was given the course. It was when I entered the University that my perception of the world began to change. It was even then, that I began to understand the kind of person, I was. Though, I am done with schooling, awaiting my clearance exercise.

I am a Christian and Catholic by faith and belief. I was born into a family of Catholics, but I was not converted. Ever since I grew up, I have joined several associations such as; the Altar Servers Association, the Confraternity of Holy Infant Jesus, the Lay Readers Association and the Queen of All Heart Society. I joined these few because I wanted to be very active. Even though, I am more active as an Altar Server than the others. My home parish is St. Augustine's Catholic Church, Ibusa. Delta State.

The things that I love doing are reading, writing, jogging and swimming in small water bodies. Most of the time, people always call me four eyes, just because I wear glasses. At first, I was always annoyed, until I decided to start living with it. I am a skilled writer, Video animator, Copywriter, Critic and blogger.

Furthermore, I was introduced to Hives, by a very close friend of mine called @miztajovial. In this Hive platform, I will want to learn the processes of writing and also to learn how to trade. And, I am eager to unlearn and relearn the principles set by the Hives community and to make new friends.
