About myself

Since introduction is very important because it only does not provide first impression but also establish credibility with people, I would like to courteously introduce and give a little history of myself. My name is AGANYI SACHIA KELVIN.

I hail from Gwer-East Local Government Area of Benue State, Nigeria. I was born on the 24th April, 1994.

I was born to the family of Mr. and Mrs. Emmanuel Aganyi. My father was a Civil servant and also a teacher. My mother is still a Civil servant.

We are just two in the family, my elder brother and me.

I began my Nursery and Primary school at Ajah Memorial Nursery and Primary school, Aliade. In my Primary One, I was involved in a fire accident which majorly affected my right hand but never caused much harm and the scar has lived with me to this day. After my Primary Two, my mother was transferred to Makurdi, the state capital so she took me with her. I was enrolled to continue my primary education at Erdoo Memorial Nursery and Primary school, Makurdi. I started from Primary Three and also completed my primary school there.
The year 2005 was not a good year for me. I got the most terrible, heartbreaking and shocking news, one that has made me an orphan to this day, I lost my beloved Dad to the cold hands of death. This happened when I was in Primary Five. He was ill of typhoid and was admitted in the hospital. He was getting better and could even walk around even to the extent of visiting the house because the house was not too distant from the hospital. One morning he took a stroll to the house and sat outside to read newspaper as he always does and that’s how it just happened. He fell asleep never to wake up again (May God continue to rest his soul).

I graduated from primary school in the year 2006. I started secondary school that same year at St. Andrew’s Secondary School, Adikpo; Benue State. There, I did both my Junior and senior secondary school. I was made the assistant head boy in my SS3 and did my best to serve the school. I wrote WAEC and graduated in 2012. The result of the exams came out beautifully as expected; I got Six Credits and Three Distinctions.
I had the desire of becoming a Catholic Priest, after my secondary school in 2013 I wrote exams to the seminary but I was not admitted. The following year wrote again and was not admitted then I decided to go to the University. In 2015 I bought JAMB and wrote it. I passed and was admitted into Benue State University to study medicine.

That same year I was advised by my friend who was in the seminary to still write exams to the seminary, I felt reluctant but I still went ahead to write it. While I was in the university, I was called that I was given admission into the seminary. Since this was my desire and calling, I packed my things and went to the seminary.

After doing my Spiritual Year in Makurdi, I was sent to study Philosophy at St. Joseph Major Seminary, Ikot-Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State.
I started my Philosophy degree in 2016 and completed it in 2020. My project topic was “The Principle of Double Effect of Thomas Aquinas, An Evaluation”. I wrote my Baccalaureate in Ethics. My result was out and I got a Second Class Upper with an average of 94.65.

After my Pastoral year, I have been posted to do my Degree in Theology in St. Thomas Aquinas Major Seminary, Makurdi, Benue State. I’m currently studying for my second degree in the said seminary and also undergoing formation for preparation to the Catholic Priesthood.

For my recreation, I do enjoy playing chess and video games. I play basketball, volleyball

and ping pong. I also love surfing the internet and watching educative movies and programs and above all, I love reading a lot because I have this conviction that knowledge is embedded in books.
David Hume, the 18th-century philosopher will speak of the principle of human nature, which is “Benevolence” as the sentiment of wishing to promote the interest of others and also bring about happiness to others and the entire society. On this note I want to thank immensely those who made me know about Blurt starting from @bestkizito who informed me about this platform, my profound gratitude goes to @dicksonbem who kept advising me to see the importance and value of joining Blurt and also importantly @Zahid Alam who immediately created an account for me when I messaged him, I’m indeed very grateful and happy to be here.
