SteemAlive Presents: A writing Contest entiltled: "My inner Circle". Contest Prize: 43 Steem 10% to @steemalive by @patience90

Hello fellow steemians, I am happy to be participating in this contest organized by our dearest Community @steemalive.

Wherever we find ourselves, be it school, office or even immediate family, there is someone we always confide in.
Someone we feel safe, happy and able to open up to. And they can be refered to as Inner Circle
I also have some few individuals I call my inner circle.
Come with me as I share the profile of some of my pals

Jonathan Akwash

This is the 4th child and 3rd son of my parents, he works with the Nasarawa State ministry of Education, married with 4 beautiful kids and above all, he is my elder brother.
He is a teacher of the gospel, a dancer gospel singer/songs writer, footballer, and great with drums, keyboard and guitar.
I've known him all my life and I must say if I am given a chance to choose a sibling in another world, I will still choose him over again.
He was my first teacher, my friend and confidant.
I love all my siblings but I confide more in him because of this unique quality about him.
He doesn't share the problem of another person with another.
Not even with his dear wife and that makes me feel free with him and share all the "shareable" with him.
There are things I don't share with my sisters because of how emotional and frighten they can be but you see Jonathan, he is my personal person.
I am so close with him that as a kid back then, I told everyone who cares to listen that he is my husband 😆.
And even his calls me senior. 😆

Divine Nnenna Christopher

She is the 2nd child and 1st daughter of her parents, a teacher of French language, entrepreneur, jovial and can take up your problems on her head and even cry for your problems when you yourself don't even worry.
Born and raised in Plateau state and still living there.
I met this intelligent Enugu beauty in our 200l back in school (2010).
Aside being hostel mate, course mate and school made, I can't really recall what drew us together but we found ourselves being friends till date and till death do us part.
She speaks Igbo, English, Hausa, Berom, Yoruba and French. Wow! Isn't she a genius?
There are so many qualities I love about her but for the sake of this contest, I will pinpoint only. True Christian
The love the fact that she is a true Christian who is not out to pretend for any reason.
She was the sister I confided in back in school till date. She knows all my secret that non of my sisters does.
We pray, cry, study, laugh, teased and fight. We are just inseparable.
I love her sincerely and I call her My Desire

Stephen Affiku Philip

He said I will be his best man(woman) 😆. Yes, that's how close we are.
He is a fellow last born, a graduate of Public Administration, CEO God's Favour Computers Gudi and is currently working with Bureau for Information Communication Technology (BICT).
We practically grew up together in our area though he is a year older than me.
He is kind and sacrificial which is one of the qualities I like about him though he can be a pin in my neck.
We are so close that we know each other's whereabouts.
If you can't find him, ask me and I'll tell you exactly where he is and same goes with him.
We some times argue and counter each other but I beg you, don't get involve whenever we start because you will be ashamed.
Na only us understand ourselves

Late Mr. Yusuf Mbachi aka Nannys

This was a senior colleague and mentor whose death I'm yet to accept.
He died on 10/10/2021.
I got to know him in 2017 when I was posted to his school as a classroom teacher.
I just liked his free lifestyle and the kind of training he did on his kids and I eventually became a family to everyone in his household.
He was a primary school teacher with 8 children whom he trained 6 in the university/polytechnic before his demise.
Who wouldn't want to be close with such personality with focus and plans for his kids?
He was a philanthropist, jovial, free spirited and very intelligent man.
He is greatly missed and will forever be in our hearts.
I choose to write about him because I am yet to find a sincere mentor who will ask for nothing in return
Rest in Peace Mr Nannys😭
