Gregory Ibe AutoBio – Cooped from an Interview

I was two and a half years when the Biafra/Nigeria civil war started. So, we were kept under the trees playing with snakes and other reptiles. After the war, we were five children in my family. I thank God my father being a policeman and a tailor in the Nigerian Police Force survived the war. He moved to Enugu and I joined him first because I was naïve and timid our people within the street were taking life off me. They didn’t allow me to play with them because of the kind of clothes I wore. So, I decided to develop my own resistant mechanism. I started practicing weight lifting as a child in Eugene Oba Street in Enugu State. Everybody knew me because I became a tyrant. What made me a tyrant you may ask? It was because when my mother joined us in Enugu we started to fry Akara on the street in Eugene Oba Street. As a child, I sold bread and akara at the Nigerian Police College, Enugu. I go to buy the bread after I must have fetched water in Owerri Road. Whenever I came back, I go to buy bread at Robson Street. That was how I suffered as a child. Also, my mother was a tailor too at Ogbotte Market patching dresses for people. I always go to the motor park to help people load, offload or carry their goods and once they pay me, I will buy foodstuff and go home to cook. There is no person that doesn’t know me as a hard-working boy. I started age-grade farming from one family to another. Even though my mind was on education, in the process of struggling to survive I learned tailoring, surveying, electrical and carpentering works. I didn’t stop there, I later learned aluminum fitting.
