my marriage would mark the 2nd stage of my life

Once upon a time a baby was born by a young lady in her early 20s. Her name is Christiana Ukpebor. This was her second baby and her first son. This baby was born unlike her 7 others in the family in a village market place. On the day of his naming ceremony, the father Joseph gave him the name Osagie ( God's sent into the world). He grew up with strong desire to know and serve God. He experienced so many opposition both spiritually,economically and socially in his journey to man-hold. In his days in secondary school. He was being described by his classmates as 'professor', 'genius' while in his community he was called 'fada' the latter meaning priest. All these names had a very strong influence in his life and choice of vocation when he grew to the age of 18. However, some would say that at this age he became confused and didn't know what was next stage in his life. For every young adult, he should have been planning his entrance into the university to become an educated fellow. Instead he made a choice to go into the seminary to offer his life to God ;becoming a priest. Few years later he was seen in the street as a nobody. School he couldn't go anymore and a religious vocation became a thing of the past. He needed advise on what to do and he needed help on how to move forward. All these were far away from his reach. Then life became an omen that he would want to wake up one day and be out of . This was how the journey from one african  country to another started with the hope of escaping from shame and confusion and if possible arrive where life can be more managed and live
