When I was a little boy,
Every night Papa would tell us bedtime stories,
Grandpa and Grandma also tell us old folks tales,
Stories of pride
Stories of courage
Stories of winning
When it seems that
Every one was against me
Stories of animals in the jungle,
Who display unusual character
Animals we can relate to and learn from,
Stories of men and women in the ancient
Yoruba kingdom, pre-colonial and post colonial era
Who are warriors, heroes, entrepreneurs
Social activities, playwright, athletes, mothers of courage,
etc.
Thanks to my Papa, I was never without a hero.
My Papa and my Mama are the first model, hero and leader
That I have ever come across in this my life time.
All these stories have shape my behavioural pattern forever.
