JOURNEY OF MY LIFE
<p>CHAPTER ONE</p><p>                     THE BEGINNING OF ALL</p><p>        My name is peace pius. I was born in akure nigeria in the year 1982, into a polygamy family.</p><p>        My father was married to two wives. My mother gave birth to seven children and my step mother gave birth six children for my father. Out of seven children, five survive and two died and from my step mother one children died. We were three boys and two girl from my mother and four boys and one girl from my step mother. In total we were 10 children left out of 12 children. My mother was the first wife.</p><p>        I always think the child my mother put to birth was from the sea because her hair and eye were green. She is suppose to have a twin but one of them died in womb. She was the only that came out but died after tree month. </p><p> </p><p>       I was from a very strong idol worshipper but my father and some of his siblings did not go that way. My mother was a strong believer of Christ and the word of God. She loves Christ. She nevered missed any church program, which i loved about her and planned to follow her foot step. She was a very nice woman, she was my world at that time and still my role model.</p><p>      At the age of three years, I lost my father at war front. I did not understand what was going on at that  moment but my mom was struggling to feed us. At the age of twelve my senior brother (First child of my mom) left the house to hustle and see the world, following his calling. I remember when my mother wented to lose her life, she had stroke at the time but she over came iy</p><p>       At the age of seven years old, I was doing work worth for four people because I am trying to support my mother. The rest of my mother children left home also at an early stage, it was just left my mom's last born ( BOY) and me.</p><p>       I dropped out of school to assist my mother and to take care of my younger brother at that time he was just two years old. I just finished my primary school but could not enter secondary section.</p><p>       I struggle throughout my young age, I will wake up very early clean the house and do some house chores, I will cook that is if there is anything to cook and later to go to farm, from the farm I will head straight to the market to sell my goods. I will be in the market until past seven and most eight.</p><p>        I will still get what we plan to cook that even. Most time I will starve myself just for my mother and brother to see what to eat.     </p><p>      At the age of thirteen, I lost my mother from a serious illnesses. I was very angry and in a sorrowful because they took the only thing I hold dear to me. I cried a lot, my other siblings came over for the burial of my mom. It was at that time my uncle came to take me to Lagos and my junior brother followed another family.</p><p>       My family was divided at that point of time. it was at that time I knew it is the beginning of my blissful journey.</p>
