Different people irrespective of age, sex, nationality and race are confronted with one challenge or the other in life. Incidentally, these challenges are natural choices as there are certain things you can do nothing about.
Just as no mortal man has the will power at birth to choose his place, nationality of birth, in same vein, no child is allowed to choose his biological parents. We all grew up to realise who our biological parent are. Whether they are poor, rich, black, white, literate or illiterate, were never our choices.
That explains why the orphans or abandon children could not reject their parents at birth, even when some of those parents abandoned them in gutter, refused dumps or when they threaten their existence on earth. Children are simply innocent.
This brings to the fore, the experience of an abandoned boy who was picked up by the Little Saints Orphanage home years ago. He was sponsored by the same orphanage home from primary to university level.
Mr Akinyemi Ephraim George, 25 is a graduate of Accountancy at the Crawford University who presently serves at the 2013 Batch ‘B’ of the National Youths Service Corps, Lagos. George bares his mind to the press during the official presentation of gift items by the NYSC State Coordinator, Lagos State, Mrs Adenike Adeyemi to Little Saints Orphanage home, Egbeda.
He said, “I came to Little Saints Orphanage when I was age ten. I lost my parents, I could not find any of them. If I could remember the story vividly, I was staying with my step mother.
But because of the way some step mothers maltreat their wards, I was pushed out and I could not locate my way home anymore.
I was in the streets for two years because I left home when I was age six or seven. With the help of policeman,
I was taken to Alakara police station where Little Saints orphanage took me in at ten.
Little Saints took responsibilities for everything about me, including my education from primary to university. I graduated from Crawford University where I studied accounting. Now, I am doing my NYSC in Lagos.”
Asked if he knows his biological parents. George reited, “Till now, I don’t know my biological parents. If I see them today, I cannot recognise them. However, if they can proof that I am their son, I will forgive them because of God and the large heart that I have. I will definitely forgive them because I don’t have a choice.
“Apparently, I don’t know if they are late or not because I do not know them. The little information I am sharing with you is basically the information I heard from my foster mother. “From the little story I heard, my biological father met my mother in school and got her impregnated after which my mum abandoned me because she did not want me.”
Asked where he haled from in the country, he noted that he was not even told the location where his mother abandoned him.
“I was abandoned by my mum and my father picked me up. After which he got married to my step mum who started taking care of me. After some time, she started maltreating me because I was not her biological son.”
According to him, Trouble stated when he was sent in his tender age for street trading. In the process, he lost some money and he was driven out to go and get it. “She drove me out of home at my tender age where I could not locate my way back. I cannot even remember the side of Lagos where we live then because of my age.”
George who recalled his experience while in school said, “When I was in primary school, there was a teacher who insulted me by calling me orphan. However, the owner of Little Saints, Mrs George went to the class and confronted the teacher saying that we are not orphans but better than other children. Right there she urged them to stop calling us orphans but rather call us the general name ‘George.’
Relating his experience on campus he said, “All my needs were properly catered for. Little Saints, paid my school fees, provides food, gave me money and other needs. However, with all these love bestowed on me, I do feel once in a while, emotional disturbance especially when you see other parents coming to the campus to visit their children. Some time I had that feelings and a little of it affects my studies. However, the orphanage home has played a perfect role in my life. They have done more than enough for me.
During my service year, I have been able to acquired some skills through the NYSC SAED programme which I will practised. Right now through the programme, I can do cock tail, shapman and the like. I want to do my masters, take ICAN examinations and be chattered.
Immediately I finish my service, I will like to work and save money to enable me pay back to the orphanage home. I want to pay back to the society and orphanage home. Before I have my own family, I want to pay back to the orphanage home. If it is just to bring N5000 and a bag of rice, will want to pay back.
