“Don’t be ashamed of what you do. Some people will say ‘I wish I was in Uche Nwosu’s shoe’ but have you asked yourself what I went through before becoming Commissioner for Land and even Chief of Staff before I ran for election as the governor of Imo State.
“Most of them don’t know. I tell most of them that I stayed in Aba. I once hawked oranges from Umungasi to Eziukwu, to Ariaria, to Osisioma, to Ogbor Hill, carrying my orange, shouting orange di uto, sweet orange.
“I once hawked corn, oka di oku, hot corn. I once hawked coconut, ice water because in those days there was no pure water. That didn’t stop me from getting to my destination. In life, before you get to your destination, you must a driver of your destiny” he said.
