T. S. Aguzien

Mazi Ted Smarth Ikechukwu Aguzien was born in Port Harcourt in May 1948. Heis a native of Umudim, in Isiekenesi Ideato Local Government Area, Imo State, in Nigeria, West Africa. He has written this book because, when he was growing up as a little boy, he was a very happy boy up to the age of 18 years old, until that fateful day, the ruthless and bloody military counter coup of 29th July, 1966, led by Theophilus Danjuma, Yakubu Gowon, Hassan Katsina, and a whole lot of them military officers took place and destroyed his childhood-growing happiness. When he was a little boy, he had wanted to be a good singer and a good footballer. He has always wanted to entertain people and make them feel happy, and he thinks happiness is something you find in yourself, people around you, your environment, on the field of playing football and entertainment. But he was denied all of these joys because of their tribal hunger for leadership.
