Remarkable’ Godwin Musa is a 5 year-old boy, born into a family barely surviving on meagre finances.
His parents live in one of Abuja’s densely populated slums where life and living is nothing to write home about.
His
childhood dream, apart from growing up into a very responsible man, is
to own a bicycle. He sleeps and wakes up with this dream after seeing
and riding the bicycle only in his dreams.
So, guess what? He
did what many adults won’t do. Instead of waiting and Wailing, Instead
of getting angry and depressed over what he can’t have, he started from
somewhere.. He built a bicycle from scraps…. And he rides it with so
much pride!!!
“Since my father cannot afford a bicycle for me, I decided to make one myself “he told a friend who introduced him to the source of this story.
What
makes Godwin remarkable is his ingenuity, his creativity, brilliance,
intelligence. A five year-old having a presence of mind for craetivity
is a hard currency many children in expensive schools don’t possess.
