After studying grade eight l passed my exams and was ready to start form one and this time l was staying with my dad.my dad was a strict person that would slap you for any mistake,he was raising us as the ahead of the house and not as our father.we would come from school and find that he was not there and that there was no food. To go to school we had to pay school fees to which by this second week l hadn't paid a dime.he would tell me that he will give me the money later but didn't so l went to school only to be sent home.
in our family we were seven kids four boys and two girls and when they divorced my mom took all my siblings except me and my youngest brother to stay with my dad.life was tough and even the normal things that people have like shoes was hard to have.The house we lived into was ours but dad decided to sell it and relocate to the village. we were living in a township by that time but we looked like we have just landed from the village. my mum looked for a job at the industrial area and rented a one bedroom room apartment to live with my siblings.being a second born in the family l had a budden my shoulders whenever l saw how my mum was trying to help her kids.
Life was so cruel to us to the extent that l failed to continue school and stay at home to do nothing.we had no power so the only thing l could do was to watch movies at the video show and cared little to the beating for coming home late.suddenly my dad sold the house and our journey to relocate to the village began.our village is two hundred kilometers away to the noth of our country. on the eve of our leaving for the village my father brought a woman to our house introducing her as our mother, she looked nice but the truth about her was about to come into the light.she was huge and light skinned and not beautiful like my mom.
