Excerpts From: Nobody Understands Me

By Samson Agboola

Vivian is an outcast in her school. She is bullied and kept out of social circles. She cannot understand why she has to go through life watching on the sidelines. All she wants is to be included, but all anyone else sees, even her teacher, is someone who should be pitied. David, a wise classmate who understands how to navigate the inner workings of the school, befriends Vivian. Together, Vivian learns from David and ultimately finds the hope she needs to get through even the most difficult of days.

The beginning of Vivian’s transformation begins with the reading of the book “Nobody Understands Me”, a gift to her from David.

Mr. Samson was born in Lagos Nigeria. He attended Ewu primary school and grammar school all within the vicinity of Lagos. Before proceeding to Rivers state polytechnic where he obtained a professional higher national diploma in safety and security management. He also holds a certificate in transformation coaching. He is a member of the 16th batch of the Nigerian Navy. In addition, has attended several courses within the country. His love for writing was triggered by a host of experiences that he faced while growing up. These incidents fueled his growing hunger to commit realities to paper and generally dabble in the world of literary writing, not as much as to sell books, but to bring joy to himself. His latest effort, “The real soldier” is a book on the personality types and traits of the average soldier. The author has adapted himself to a generic role of writing he neither restricts himself nor set poise to exhaust all ideas in a single work. He is in fact a committed writer who can develop his potential to the point of becoming something of an enigma in the world of written literature.
