Having a nickname had been the greatest thing that ever happened to me in my life, I am saying this because I have many nicknames but I only want to talk about the most popular two out of them, I earned my first nickname while I was in secondary school days ,I was called Frank Lampard, because I am playing his style of football, people that watches football very well can relate to how the real Chelsea legend plays in his prime, when they are to select players to play important matches , I am always the first person they will pick and nobody questions it because other players knows my abilities in the game called Football , I am very reliable and also the key player in every match we plays ,I love football so much ,I can play very well ,I am very good in striking and I also when it comes to shooting of the ball ,you get them from me 100%.l , whenever I play football with my friends in school then they are always happy to play with me, due to my personal impact on the pitch we always win and rarely lose .I was very popular then in whole school. Now that everyone has gone their different ways ,nobody calls me that again even when I see them after a long time they call me by my real name.
Secondly, before I became a gospel minister ,I used to sing hip hop music and I gave myself a stage which I called silverkid ,my favorite artist that inspires me so much then was wizkid,he is a popularly known artist in Nigeria ,the stage name was the name I carried along to the university,the name was well known to all departments in the school.
There was one funny thing that happened in my department as at that time ,many of my course mates knew me to be a noisy ,a playful and jovial guy.some of them do talk bad things about me at my back because of my attitude of mine but one out of the bad things I heard that made me to laugh was," I bet you silverkid can't make his papers with all these attitude he is showcasing"
I laughed 馃槀馃ぃ,they never knew I use to read before coming to sit for my exam ,"I read at night".
When the results finally came out ,all of my enemies were busy searching for my name on the posting board but they were all seeing Adeleke samson 馃槀馃槀it was so confusing that some lecturers didn't even know my real name ,all they knew was silverkid .
After all the searching ,some of my course mates were very eager to know who was bearing that name but to their greatest shock,they found out that I was the one ,they never believed that I was the one leading the chart.since then they started giving me my respect.
Till date the name is still what I am being called by many of them because we still talk on the WhatsApp group we created ( oouite alumni).
Lastly,I am still being called "silver"by my lovely wife ,it is just that she removed the kid from it and it is very hard for her to stop calling me that name. Now that I have kids ,they are also calling me silver ,not knowing it is just a nickname.
Thank you for reading my post.
