Heyyyy!!! My name is Benjamin Ebuka Nwakwuo but i prefer being called Benny, it's catchy right??馃槀馃槀 just kidding. I came into this world on the 12th of october (that's what my mum told me shaa and i believed). I'm from Imo state, Mbaise to be precise. I know you may or may not have heard gist about them but give me chance to let you know me then Judge afterwards aiit?馃槀.
My parents decided that four was the number, and i came out as the third child. Three boys, one girl... yeah and she is the last child. But funny enough everyone including my mum is in awe of her馃槀馃槀馃槀. Na she be the mother of the house. She is currently in her finals in university. Speaking of university......
*Let me talk about my Academic background.
EDUCATION
I am a graduate of Nnamdi Azikiwe University. I studied Agricultural economics and extension. That's the course they gave me but the course i wanted to study was (is) Medicine and surgery (do i have anyone like me in the building?)馃檵馃檵
- These are some of my graduation pictures.
I really didn't like the course at first but with time I started liking it because I knew deep down there was money in the course. I mean Agriculture is where Nigeria is heading to now and so the economy will stabilize with it, so I know God Led me there first.
*Laugh all you want馃槀馃槀. I felt worse than i looked
Notwithstanding, my passion has always been and will always be Medicine. So I recently wrote jamb again, this time I hope they won't give me another course that isn't Medicine馃槀馃槀.
I attended a military secondary school (Nigerian Navy secondary school). That was where I discovered most of my God given talents (music, writing and fashion)
HOBBIES AND TALENTS
I love singing. I have written countless songs. I only write Gospel songs because I'm a church boy. I'm expectant that this year, I will be dropping my first gospel single.
This was when i was in university. I worshipped at Love Ambassadors ministries. They really groomed me into a better musician and minster.
In school(secondary school), I was really quite, no one knew me but my popularity started after I sang a song I wrote before 500 students and more. Everyone loved the song and me. That happened I guess mostly because singing my song wasn't the original plan. The plan was to do a sing written by my friend and i, but he chickened out at last minute and my name was already being called by the Chaplin, walking up to the stage i arrangrd within myself to sing another song, which i did but i really messed up. After I messed up in the first song (frank Edwards- Changing lives) and the crowd laughed 馃槀馃槀馃槀 and yes they booed too.
But, boldly I calmed everyone down and started the second song (composed by me and the chickened guy馃槀馃槀), and the rest was history.
I also write fiction novels, I discovered I had good story telling skills. I wrote a fiction book titled "Letter from the devil" and I'm writing another. Though I haven't settled on a name but it's about a priest who is a serial killer (cool right)?馃槏馃槏馃槏
Finally amongst other gifts, I own a fashion brand which I started early last year. I've designed and made hundreds of clothes.
Yeah I designed them too
HOW I HEARD ABOUT THIS AMAZING PLATFORM
I told you earlier that I wrote jamb right, can you remember? Good馃憤馃憤
I took jamb lessons too in preparation. In one of the classes one of my colleagues introduced me to this platform and immediately I heard about writing and the opportunity this platform offered, I jumped right in.
He said, "Ecency is a great place to be, and the welcome anyone with good skills".
With that "I said, I will really love to be part of that" and finally here I am.
Thank you all for having me.
