Grass to grace: Comedian Funnybone recounts how he wore one shirt for 6 months.

Comedian Funnybone took to twitter to recount how he wore one shirt for over 6 months and got mocked for it.

No one is ugly. maybe we were just broke. we all have a story. some of us didn't even have spoons. I was born in Kaduna state. dad n mum didn't really have enuf but we were a happy family. Dad was a driver and mum was into pity trading.(she dey sell akara). They tried to give me n my siblings the best they cud offer. but mehn it wasn't easy . had to grind and work things out for myself. Yo I sold Garri in a wheel Barrow, I did a bricklayer job for months. 

I even had a part time job as a conductor. but my mum didn't know cause she will be heart broken. ( she loves me too much). I never STOLE from anyone but I sometimes SHIFT my mother's money . after all na my mama mother. I bless God for bringing me this Far. iam not where iam headed but iam certainly not where I used to be mehn. I proceeded to Jos for my university degree and I even faced worse situations. Cheiiii my first 2yrs as a diploma student in unijos was bad. a pair sneakers , Jean n shirt for over 6months.

I recall a female course mate of mine shut me up in class once and said 'if people dey talk this one go dey talk too abi? with him one shirt and shoe' . well I proceeded to do a degree programme and she cudnt even finish her diploma with all cloths and shoes(eyaaa). All I had was God and my dreams. I graduated 2010 and JULIUS AGWU put me on his london show for August. I landed London with high hopes and promised my dad I was going to buy him a shirt. I bought the shirt quite alright and gave it to my dad but I had to drop it in his CASKET. he passed on before I could return from my first trip abroad. I will be returning to the UK this Friday 14th April 2017 for Funnybone Untamed. My comedy special. the Moral of this write up is simple. Keep pushing and don't stop pushing. God no dey sleep. #bless
