I was a house boy

He said before he became successful, he served a certain politician who could give him all the goodies of life, but the said politician chose not to.

Akaleme disclosed that the politician forbade him from boarding an aeroplane, instead, forcing him to travel by night buses, running errands. He told his story on LinkedIn:

"I was forbidden from boarding an airplane. I was a house boy that was forbidden from going near the airport even though I served a very rich politician. When we traveled too far distances in those days, I will be told to board a bus. I remembered a day I had to take a night bus because I must get to the destination before them. On a particular night, there were no longer seats available in the luxurious bus, I had to stand from Umuahia to Lagos all night!"
