My name is Genevra
Golah Akpor, I'm from Delta State, a young female from a large polygamous
family,( I won't go into how many we are, I don’t know for certain) ,ermmm about
my name, Genevra is what my mama calls me, Akpor is what my papa and close
family , while everyone refers to me as Gigi ( yup! My self styled name, and I
love it.) . Presently, I am structurally unemployed, but I can't complain,
people have it worse out there,and I
hope it all gets better for us all.
So yesterday morning (09/05/2013), I got
inspired by our very own Linda Ikeji who at the age of 26, decided to take
control of her financial freedom, knowingly or otherwise.
Well I have decided
to take control of mine today, I won't act like I'm doing it for some
altruisic purpose, because frankly I am
not, "pepper must rest oh".
As I was saying,
between my Curve 2, borrowed Wi-Fi, Twitter, Facebook, and this impeding
writer's block I feel coming ( awwww, I'm using it, 'writer's block' as if I'm
a certified writer), something must give.
I do not own a car,
don’t pay rent, don't have money, encouragement or anything, but ,I
have God, family and friends, .
I am a geologist by
training, ( yes, real training ) , I Love photography, like to think of myself
as a budding photographer ( although even my small digital camera sef don
spoil, thank God for blackberry sha), I Like fashion, ( yes say it, don’t we
all?) I do clothing designs, what can I say, gift from God. I have a knack for
innuendoes ( don’t know if it would be beneficial sha), and ermm what else,
yes, I believe in me! So much that , I promised myself to be resilient in the
face of present and future challenges.
So here we have the
very first piece of my blog (please be gentle to me, I'm still fragile).
Ermmm I forgot to
say, I plan to blog about just anything that is happening, from interesting,
boring, mundane etc.
Welcome.
Gigi.
