Iheanacho's Classmate Lamented - Kelechi Rose To stardom And Forgot About Me

We grew up together in Nekede Old Road OwerriI State, neighborhood Kelechi iheanacho was my childhood friend.

Under the rain and sun, we played the street balls together.

We attended the same elementary school, Unique Kindergarten and high school, the Umualum Nekede No 4 top, but have now moved to a new location.

Today, grace has found you and you have come to the corridors of fame and stardom and you are now a celebration not only in Nigeria, but worldwide.

I recall how we conquered Ama-Ato surroundings. Azuatalam, and you and I, known to Chigozirim Podosky.

When we are not there the games are not going to be enjoyable, but you have forgotten them too easily and now mixing with the ones you have met.

We have been playing a "Danish" academy club together for years before you moved to Taye Academy how you can just forget those days so quickly.

When I watched Nigeria play under 17 in UAE 2013, I remember how happy I was. When you conquered the world in that stage, I was not surprised because I knew how good you had been before.

You could not contact me because you were no longer on the same pedestrian, your senior brother Uchenna. You have climbed higher.

Hear this, I am writing this not because my life's ended with hunger but because a photo of you now serves as a story I am going to tell my family.

Do not forget that the bodyguards and security guards who protect you from people near you were not there to go to the bush in Uzo ubi those days in search of ripped fruits.

It pains my heart that most of us who suffered with you and grew up in the hood along with you have been forgotten.

It is hard for me to get back to you as I followed you on all social media platforms, Instagram , twitter, e.t.c. But if you really want to get to me, it is easy.

Rising to stardom does not mean you have to forget those who have grown up with you.
