Hello, it is nice having you on my site, you are welcome !!!

I was born on July 27th 1969 to Madam Elizabeth Pappoe and WOII Benjamin Adom Odonkor. I lived with my step mother at the age of two. In the beginning life everything was fine because I did not know I was living with my step mother. When she realized I know she not my mother; life then started to change in the house. All the best treatment stopped at the age of six. life was not easy at all until 19 years later. One thing I love my step mother was that, food and shelter was always there. She was a generous giver, and will never go hungry. This accounts is not to say she was bad woman, but then women will have done the worse. SHe really did her best for me.

My Dad died in 1984 after a short illness. After then life wasn't smooth. I had only a little to live on, i.e. food, shelter a few clothing. My real mum had lost  her business to the Rawlings regime, so she can only support with just a little. She also died  when I was  in second year at the University of Science and Technology. Then I was left with  my step mother as the only parent. After  my father  death I stayed  with my step mum though my mother was still alive. I gave my love her before I got to know she wasn't my mother. I know anybody would have love his/her mother.      All her children are abroad and I stay longer with her than any of her children (32 years before i traveled). Now  we are  the  closest  friends. It was  not  easy to gain this position as a real son. I had to earn this loyalty to the family. I come from Osu a suburb of Accra in Ghana. And she come from Abola in Accra. She isn't bad  at all, for  taking care of me all these years something  that  am  grateful  for.  Not all step-mothers will do this.
            
                       I schooled at Datus Primary school (1977-1983) then continued to Tema secondary   school (1983-1990),  University of Science and technology where I read Bs Physics (1991-1994) respectively. On completion I serviced at the Ghana Education Service at St. Roses Secondary School Akwatia. I then    joined my old school Datus as a JSS Maths and Physics Tutor for a   year. My   taste for a new   world led me to  Western Telesystem (Gh) Ltd. (WesTel) here I really  got the feel of technology as it is Telecommunication company.     Here I learnt a lot of things so quickly; some including web site development.

   At WesTel  I traveled and learnt International and National switching systems, WLL systems, Microwave, Intelligent network systems, Earth station and satellite system, dial-up systems and many more. After 3 years in Westel i traveled to Zambia. I was internet love that toke me there, behind that the passion for IT in South Africa or Botswana. i chose here because because my girlfriend had relatives in Botswana. It did not go well like i thought, so feel back to Zambia. here i practically learnt A+ and networking on my own. i was systems engineer and the highest paid employer at DCS holdings in Lusaka. this job toke me all across the northern and eastern part of Zambia, including Living stone, Mongu, Kabue, Mofurera.

I have been to Botswana, for 2 months and the game life is wonderful. I saw real elephants for the first time. I saw giraffes, if you like traveling then visit there, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. I moved to South Africa on 6th of March 2002. and settled in Johannesburg, around Joubert Park. It is one of the hottest and Dangerous places to be in South Africa after Hilbrow also in South Africa. In fact they are nearby.
I have been in Zambia for a year and wow it is a small place in terms of development. Lusaka is smaller in size and development to Tema near Accra in Ghana. The population of Accra is the same as Zambia as a whole i.e. 9 million people. more on Zambia later..
I was in Harare and Balawayo on 2 occasions and it is a great place to see. Balawayo is the industrial city and it is very developed. Harare is beautiful by all standards. But Mogabe has ..... the country. i wish them all the best.

Since 2002, i fought to get my papers and a job. with the help of me sister Dinah in the US ($350) I rented a flat and started a shop near wanderers street. I struggled to raise rent for the house and shop. The first month pasted and I survived. With the help of a lady by name Mayan; I got a job at the Hoesprit Independent school, i only worked for 2 and half months and got another school down in Johannesburg. Information Technology Training Academy. Here i trained over about 250 students in 2 years. i also toke the opportunity to know the culture of South Africans. This guys became my best friends. In January 2005 I missed a very good at Vasity college in Santon; because I did not process the A+ and N plus CompTIA international Exams. So I decided to write them in 3 months. By a miracle, after taking a competency test with Mweb Business, I got my first permanent job in South Africa.

The Focus

One thing kept me going, food and shelter; so that i can finished university, then take the leadership role in the family. This focus has changed over the years, I have been more self centered; something i need to work on.....

In all I have learnt a lot socially, academically, (Linux, Windows Servers and many more. Love hasn't been good for me. I met a lot of women who loved me; but i did not care that much. As a result of that I had my baby Girl Palisa Norley. There has been a lot of progress in the last 4 years of my life. The final and the most important is to get married.....

I have grown in love with Norley, the bond is there, and I marvelled at the Love Of God towards us
