Efefiong Akpan

My names Efefiong Udo Akpan are peculiar to the Bantu race, of the West African coastline. Claiming this heritage close to the Congo basin, usually gives me some kicks. I was born to a teacher turned policeman, and a strict school teacher for a mother. She influenced my firm character, while his library volumes equipped me for a writing life. Today I am eager to reach a wider set of humanity, that will of course expose and teach me more. Perhaps a scholarship would do, especially for intriguing intellectual pursuits. However a Bachelors Degree, Communications Arts/Music may not have sufficed for all my venturous desires.
