AUSTINE NONSO

My name is Austine Ilodinibe Nonso from Ihiala, Anambra State, Nigeria, Africa.

I am a graduate of Mass Communication from Enugu State University of Science and Technology.

I am humble, friendly, loyal, generous, open minded, discipline, strict, tolerant and obedient.

I hate lies and detest them so much

I encourage people towards achieving their dreams, to live up to their expectation and believe in themselves.

I am a blogger, a Journalist, an Enterprenuer, an Independent Movie Producer, Director and Editor in the Nigeria Movie Industry (Nollywood).

The main aim of this blog is to inspire and motivate people towards fighting hard in actualizing their dreams. believe in yourself and never give up, always do what you love doing and don’t be desperate to make quick money because when you become desperate you will definitely fall in the hands of the wrong people who will take advantage of your psychological state of mind.

Let me tell you what desperation has done to me and if proper care is not taken it might eventually happen to anyone, if only you step back and plan for your future you might not be able to escape it, let me tell you a little about my life, my story and my humble beginning.

I was born and raised in Cross River State, after my primary and secondary school, I wrote jamb and unfortunately score 184 while the school I choose cut up marks was minimum of 200, I was really desperate because I really want to go to school, so I went to the admin office in my faculty who blankly encouraged me to resit for another jamb and wait patiently that things might turn around for good. Though I planned to stick to her advice but due to desperation I couldn’t, I was really desperate to go to school, so I ignore her advise, and went to see the HOD in my Department because he was someone I know personal, he gave me the same advice stating that, this is a university you can’t just get admitted through back door, because things might change and you never know what the repercussion will be.

After meeting him and found no positive result from him, I left him and met one third year student in Political Science, I told him my problem and he introduced me to a politician who is a member of Enugu State House of Assembly as of then, he gave me his number, and told me to do whatever he ask me to do that he will help me gain admission forcefully into Law faculty in Enugu State University of Science and Technology because that was my dream course and the man has connection. I thanked him so much and gave him some little money to keep as sign of gratitude and appreciation for his assistant.

The next day I headed to Okpara Square in Independent layout Enugu in search of this politician when I got to State House of Assembly, the building was so big and I knew their is no way I could see him so I dial his number and he picked it after three miss calls, I explain my plight to him, and he gave me directions where to meet with him so i did as he instructed and when we met I explained everything to him, and he saw how desperate I was to gain admission into law faculty, because since my days in secondary school it has been my dream to study law, that is why all my friends gave me a nick name “THE YOUNG BARRISTER” so he went into his car and brought out a lists, maybe he knew my psychological state of mind and decided to use it against me, he open the list and showed me the names of the newly admitted candidates in law faculty in ESUT and state that he was about to give the lists to his typist to type it and then forward it to the Registrar of the University, I was really sweating when I saw the list because I really wish my name will be in that lists. so he told me that I will pay #50,000 cash before he will include my name in the lists. unfortunately, I had no money with me, so I had to travel back to Calabar from Enugu and came back the next day with the said money my Dad tour so had to save for the family upkeep, I gave the money to him and he included my name in the lists and told me to check the admission Noticeboard or website in Law faculty ESUT and that I will see my name there in two weeks time.

Two weeks later I went to admission notice board and couldn’t find my name, I called him and he said I should check back in another two weeks time, unfortunately time fly as usual and it is two weeks, I went again to the admission notice and couldn’t find my name, I called him and he told me to wait for another two weeks and check again, these time I saw that the last batch has been released and they post their was that if your name is not there then you are not admitted into Enugu State University of Science and Technology. I became disturbed in heart, I called the man 40 times and he bluntly refuse to pick my calls, later his line was switch off, ladies and gentleman till date that man line is still switch off after 7 years his line is still switch off.

When I called and couldn’t get him I became worried, I cried and started thinking what to tell
