I remember you very well when you were in st. Brigid secondary school, ASABA .
I still remember your immaculate school uniform ( green check) and always with handkerchief.
I used to carry you from onitcha to ASABA, then as Asaba – onitcha bus driver way back in the mid 90’s.
Even then, I knew you would go far in life.
Am looking forward to a day I will meet you one on one as a driver that used to convey you from onitcha to ASABA.
