He grew up in Enugu while growing up he encountered a mysterious foreign body attack at age 12, as a growing-up chap, he went to visit a friend, a routine he normally observes to maintain his relationship with his peers.
While in the friend’s apartment he crack jokes and they ate food together, so it was time to go home and he discovered he couldn’t stand on his feet.
When the chips are down, his friend’s mother hurriedly ran to Chinonso’s parents to alert them of their son’s situation, the parents came and found a boy who could not use his legs anymore due to some unknown and strange foreign bodies.
Chinonso was taken home and his parents contracted a pharmacist to treat him but after the treatment, his body began to swell, his parents started to look for how to curb the swollen body, and eventually, they got a native orthopedic doctor who started massaging him.
However, his parent parted with a lot of cash, a few days later, Chinonso began to learn how to walk again, he became friends with little children who were now teaching him how to walk.
Whenever it is that time of the year, his legs still ache.
Presently he is in Abuja while his parents are still in Enugu, he stylishly walks to cover the slight defect in his steps.
Creekvibes OLUWADAMAMILARE DANIELS asked him if he had another close to death experience.
Affirmatively, he said; “Yes, while I was in the village I went into the forest with a timber merchant for sawing of woods, meanwhile, we had earlier taken some soft drinks but the timber merchant took a little alcohol.”
“After the day’s job, it was time to go home, so we set out towards home with his motorcycle on our way we fell into a man-hole, the motorcycle somersaulted but, God was so kind I had no injuries.
My boss in the woods got injured, so I took him to our apartment to tend to his injuries and later dropped him off at his apartment.” He said.
According to him, that was also a close shave with death.
