Hi steemians (I think that name should become part of our standard lexicon), My name is Nkundu, King-akanimo Bassey,a graduate of petroleum engineering from the University of Uyo, early 20s. I'm basically about solving problems through a very unconventional process; I learn with the topmost priority of using the gained knowledge to improve upon something, solve a challenge, then comes retaining the knowledge and finally the grades(applicable while I was in school, I made good grades though, for a more comfortable night sleep in case someone mentions the phrase "Nigerian labour market").

Now to the not too serious part...King is basically quiet..that's the outside package..on the inside,in my head an unending plethora of conversations, monologues, dialogues, scream downs, parliaments, unending logical processes and deafening moments of silence (especially in the midst of crowds) all play in a beautiful orchestra:Introverted if you are just meeting me, chatterbox if we are mad buddies..but even then there is minimal room for small talk..there is a lot of serious stuff going on..even having fun is to be taken seriously..I think. Sometimes this makes me seem out of place, even though its all perception,I would appreciate it more if folks could connect with the brains and ideals before the physical appearance, but beautiful exceptions do occur, like coming 2nd at the Society of petroleum Engineers Africa Regional Paper Contest in Accra, Ghana...and many others (will expose in subsequent posts)

I am proudly Akwa Ibomite and 100% Nigerian..I sadly lack the exotic Ibom accent and my face and carriage makes people think I'm Igbo...I love the Igbos though, beautiful people. I believe every human should be accorded respect and dignity for the primary reason that they are human before status, influence,race, colour(when did that qualify as an adjective to describe a human?) and the likes come into play..of course there will always be exceptions..Your humanity is based on how you treat other human beings and not because you have functional organs.

Life can be aptly described as a game(even though I insist on taking it seriously) and I'm presently trying to figure out what I am, a piece in a puzzle meant to find a place to fit in? or a standalone dice designed to decide the outcome of other events(hopefully consequential)? I do not know....yet. It will be fun having your virtual company on the journey to figure it out.
