A BUTTERFLY THAT THINKS ITS SELF A BIRD ...Part 1


There was this brother from Sokode(Volta region,Ghana) who was always bitter about his family. When his Dad died,he was expecting his Fathers Family to take over and look after him and his Mum but they didn’t. His mum raised him as a single parent. He was about 12yrs old when his Dad died and he grew up hating his tribe(both parents where from the same hometown). Due to anger, he swore never to go back to his hometown or talk to any of his family members.At the age of 29, he travelled to Nigeria for greener pastures and created enough wealth for himself. 
.
While in Nigeria he changed his family name to a Nigerian name which means he changed his root completely. Oneday there was a census in Nigeria and the census agents approached him to ask for his details. The surname he mentioned was the same as that of one of the agents. The agent was very happy to have found one of his family members. So he began asking about his family background(his parents, grand parents , hometown) and the guy kept mute throughout . infact he felt ashamed of himself.
That was the point he realized how important his family and root was.
.
LESSON: don’t deny your family and root no matter what and no matter where. Because that is what makes you different from others . This things are happening even in Accra and other cities and it sounds like a joke but its serious .it is painful to be ignored but ignoring your root is not the solution. Once there is life then there is hope (Agbe nyé gá)
