Hey everyone my name is Jonny Blaze
I know most of you would think I have the power of fire to blaze everything out in a speed of light . Well let's find out.
I am an orphan . I am from Nigeria. Suprised ? If you are a racists and if u hate the country Nigeria, u can quit reading this but let me first tell u my life story on how this orphan Black became the greatest man in the universe. They call me Animal Man . If u have not heard of me sorry then but if u have and u like me , spread my name around and I promise you that u won't regret it.
My parents died when I was five and I didn't have any where to go to. Nigeria is a tough place , very hard that one could die of poverty and hunger .
As I was saying, when my parents died I had no where to go to . Ny dad's relations weren't of any help . They were all interested in my dad's wealth that they all forgot about me . But u know in igbo land u cannot collect the property of a man if his father was alive  that means he inherites everything the father owns .
Dragging my father's property they all forgot about me but one thing keeps comming to their head . If this child grows up that he would come back asking for his father's property so they needed to eliminate me as they did for my dad and mum .
Dat night as I slept in my room I heard a bang on the door of the living room. I went down stairs to check it out . It was two men wearing black all through . They killed my father's maid . I knew they were after me . I was sooo scared that hot tears began to run down my cheeks. I knew I had to do sth but couldn't do anything. When these assassin walked up the stairs my raced faster . At the corner of my room I began to cry 😭 😭😭 , pleading for them not to kill me. At that moment a man came to my rescue . He beat the living hell out of those assassins but in the process he was badly injured . He ordered me to get the whiskey and a piece of clothing which he used to treat his wounds . I got up a stool and got everything he needed. Later that night he took me in . Even though his house wasn't like my father's mansion ,I felt peace there.
The next day we are bread and water as breakfast. Dats to show u how poor he was but still accommodated me . That morning he told me that the assassins that wanted to kill me will come . His words came to pass . Worse things even happened they burnt his house . It was as if he knew that he was going to die that day . He gave me a loaf of bread, the last food on the house and told me to run without turning back. After I ran a few kilometers I turned back I could see his wooden house called bacha burning, his body covered with blood as he looked at me and closed them . I could hear a voice saying " I did it for you and I don't regret it at least my soul can rest and go be with my heavenly father in heaven. Good bye my friend".
I wept
