Tamaramienka: From Okada to Government House
✍️ By Prince Agbedeyi O. D (Nigeria)
🖋️ Edited by Seigha Dora Ayedi (Italy)
Once upon a real time — not in fairyland but in the heart of Ogbinbiri, Egbema Kingdom — a boy was born into the humble home of a noble man. His name? Tamaramienka, a name that means “God is my helper.” But before he could even learn to say it properly, tragedy knocked early — he lost both parents to sickness. And in typical Egbema fashion, the elders simply sighed, “Na small sickness wey no suppose kill am.”
Let’s face it, in Egbema, even mosquito bites can be fatal when there’s no medical centre, only herbal leaves, “Ogbolo soup,” and prayer warriors who shout louder than the sickness itself.
Young Tamaramienka grew up navigating life with no silver spoon — not even a plastic one. As an orphan, society treated him like expired garri: "Look am finish boy!" He fell in love with the daughter of the proud Ebikabowei, and they even had a child together. But alas! Her family told him, “You? Marry our daughter? Tufiakwa! Go and marry your poverty first!”
Heartbroken but not broken, Tamaramienka did what every determined Egbema man does — he packed his Ghana-Must-Go and vanished to Sapele.
In Sapele, life dealt him the usual hand: Okada riding in the rain, sleeping on student mattresses, frying yam on borrowed stoves — but the man persisted. At one point, people started calling him “Chairman Rider” because he could dodge potholes like a professional Formula 1 driver.
Then came the big break. He got connected and joined the military! By now, he had already married a fine Urhobo woman with plenty respect and two kids who called him “Officer Daddy.”
As he began serving the nation, Teme-Owei (Almighty God) did not forget his humble beginnings. Promotion came like rainfall in the rainy season — steady and refreshing. Word on the street (and WhatsApp groups) has it that he’s now a known face in the Borno State Government House, where even big men whisper his name with respect and small fear.
As we speak, Tamaramienka is doing his National Diploma, owns a beautiful apartment, and drives a car with AC that can confuse your immune system. From Ogbinbiri’s dusty paths to corridors of power in Borno — who would have thought?
🧠Moral of the Story:
Never look down on an orphan — the same boy you mocked today might be the one signing your security pass tomorrow. Life is not a straight road; sometimes it bends to bless the patient. Poverty is not a curse; laziness is. And finally, don’t underestimate a man with a mission, mosquito net, and motorcycle license.
