A DIARY OF A NEW COMER
I'm going to take you through on a journey of the life of a boy, his name is DIKE VICTOR ALOAYE ABUBAKAR also called SMOKE. A muslim who hails from Delta south-south region of Nigeria and born on the 23rd of February 1999 into a family of five, 5'8" tall and light skinned in complexion.He had his primary education in the South western region of Nigeria and moved to the north when his mom was transferred. There he had his secondary education at Betty Queen International school located in kaduna, Northwest of Nigeria.
He graduated from high school at age 15 and was immediately offered admission on August 2014 at the University of Benin, south-south Nigeria to study Mechanical Engineering.
The journey hasn't been easy but with God almighty he has been able to surmount every obstacle, even when many fell by the roadside he remained focused and resolute to achieve his set goals.
Due to his love for the military he went on to write the Examination into the Nigerian Defence Academy while still at UNIBEN, to the extent he missed two exams just for the sake of military but the odds weren't in his favour as his dreams to go to the Nigerian Defence Academy was shattered on May 31st 2015. This Premier Military University is one that every youth hopes and yearn to attend due to the reputation and record the school has set for itself by past alumnis.
Notable Alumni of this great institution
include;
President of Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari
Senator David Mark
The Sultan of Sokoto and one time Chancellor of the University of Benin, Sa'adu Abubakar III
This young man is full of life, he hardly worries about anything because he believes pain is temporary and that laughter, joy and enjoy is permanent but it takes only dedicated ,persistent and strong-willed individuals to attain it.
Furthermore he engages in a few Sports like to stay physically and mentally fit.
They include;
KARATE-the way of empty hand fighting
And holds a yellow belt.
SOCCER
And his favourite soccer team is Real Madrid FC.He loves this team because of their consistency over the years.
Also he has alot of other favourite stuff like dish, artiste, car etc
JOLLOF RICE
The Atlanta Trio; MIGOS
The German machine, MERCEDES BENZ
