Before i forget, i wanted to take time out to wish my older brother Uche a very Happy birthday.
Actually, his birthday was on the 14th but it's all well and good.
How to describe Uche? That's the classic JAMB question because bros is a man of very many parts.
Growing up with him was great. As kids, we all recognized that he was the intellectual one. Always reading and always getting lost within himself. He was always top of his class (seriously) and went on to become the youngest of our peers to go to secondary school. Boarding house for that matter.
He had this crazy temper back then and the standard warning joke among us was "you don't want to see Uche's red eyes o!"...lol.. He's grown past all that ever since and become a very chill guy. Though that famous temper is still lurking somewhere and shows itself occasionally. One of our famous quarrels was when he got so mad because i took his laptop to work without his permission one day!!!.
He sent me one kin yeye text wey dey vex me till today and we didn't speak for almost a month!
Bros is focused. scarily so.
He's worked in several media houses, briefly in the public sector and despite the setback of a near fatal accident, he's gone on to become a successful manager with a telecoms company. I recall him having an interview on his sickbed and ace-ing it. He's bought a house in a high brow area, gotten married and had a beautiful kid recently.
This is not just all about his accolades. Uche has his faults too. He never returns calls, he can be annoyingly distant and if you're not family, won't really put himself out for you.
But all in all, he's a fantastic guy, very level headed, focused and very caring. Couldn't have asked for a better big brother.
Here's wishing you the best bros, long life, prosperity and all the finer things of life!!!
