- A landlord chased me and family out a rented room
- The Government don't care about your future
Hushpuppi |
For the first time, the Gucci ambassador, Nigerian-Malaysia big boy, Hushpuppi reveal who he really his and a bit of his life story in Lagos as a ghetto boy, though he is yet to tell us what else he does for living except being a professional beggar...lols. Hushpuppi's story is so touching and inspiring, it gives hope to the hopeless, life to the lifeless and specifically targeted at Nigerian youths termed 'The Ghetto Kid'. Enjoy, reminisce and take bold steps.
"Letter to the Ghetto Kid:
As a man that I am today who
developed from being one of you guys, who went through the same
struggles you are presently going through, who had to run and jump
hurdles where other kids just walk past the same situation in a better
environment with better resources and much provisions, I know the
society do not expect you to make it, the government don't care about
your future, they toy and joke around making rules and laws that only
affect you and benefit the rich. You
lack everything it requires to become who you might have loved to be, do
the things you would have loved to do or to live the life you may have
seen on TV or the internet, which I know you even have limited access to
because there's never power supply for such, which means you are
deprived most of the things that can be learnt through TV and internet
in the first place which makes your dreams smaller, quicker to fade away
but I want you to know that darkness you are, without the dark, the
stars won't shine and so you can shine out if that darkness.
You
have been deprived so many right a child deserves and the world look
down on you because you are nothing but a clot of blood miraculously
turned a baby, and an unfortunate one at that. Good health, good foods
or good education hasn't been in any way your chance to have. Looking at
you disgusts not your brethren only but even strangers are not so
impressed for your unhealthy appearance. Your strength; courage; and
dreams are nothing but hallucination just because you were not supposed
to dream big.
I am sure nobody ever believed in whatever you say or
do. You have been victimized by neighbors; friends; and even family
members who were supposed to give you hope. This is my story, this is me
and this is the Hushpuppi you have been hearing about. The Ghetto kid
in me is at its peak and ready to explode and spread around the globe. I
am you and you are me. I represent every under-privilege kid of the
world and especially of Nigeria and of Lagos and of Bariga and of
Oworonsoki -- Where a landlord had chased me and my family out of a
rented room. I'll never forget the look on my mother's face."
