Beyond the Embers of Pain Titus Aondona Orngu

The story of a child, born to unlettered peasant farmers who, in spite of their environment and poverty, give everything they have to give him an education. From the remote recesses of Benue, the child toils and graduates from the University at an age even children of educated urban dwellers seldom do. But getting a good job takes eighteen longs years post graduation. Once the job comes, pain comes. Two brain surgeries, three major urological surgeries and six minor urological procedures follow in quick succession. But in all of these, he's been stoic in his resolve and continues looking to be better. It is a classic tale of drive and determination.
