I am very much happy to present this introduction post after my account was opened by @focusnow .....As a matter of fact I count it as a privilege to join Steemit platform and to present this my personal information.
ABOUT ME
I am Ellas O. Agbaragu born to Mr. and Mrs. Nwabueze Agbaragu on 12th of February 1959 in Ikorodu Lagos former Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria.
My parents came from Umutanze Orlu in Imo State, Nigeria and lived in Lagos where they were doing buying and selling ( they were Traders) until 1966 when the civil war broke out in Nigeria.
As a result of the war,we were forced to return to our village Umutanze where we stayed until the end of the war in 1970.We were twelve children in the family and I am the second among them.My father married only one wife although both of parents are late now.
EDUCATION
My basic education in 1967 with my primary school at the Central School Umutanze Orlu, Imo State.I stopped in primary three(3) in the village and was able to complete my primary school at Aba in Ulasi Road Primary school from 1970-1974 where I obtained my First School Leaving Certificate (FSLC).
This was because immediately after the war in 1970 my father decided not to go back to Lagos again and chose to live in Aba where he continued as a trader until his death in 2010.
CAREER
After my school in 1974,I learned a trade from 1975 to 1978 and started my own business as a dealer in building materials in 1979.
Later,in 2010,I changed my business from selling building materials to Multi Level Marketing (MLM) the business that I am doing till today.
My MLM business has afforded me the opportunity to attend various seminars on food supplement and health problems and can now identify the sign of some certain health problems and food supplement that can be of help.
Lives of many people have improved through the use of food supplement like Organic gold milk and Corn meal from SINLESS FOOD LTD LAGOS which I introduced to them.Supplements are really good for the body both young and old.
HOBBIES
I take delight in reading , making research and interviewing people on how they look at things such as human lives,future and work I also enjoy traveling, visiting places and interacting with people, including rendering help where possible and giving encouragement.
MARITAL LIFE
I got married to my beloved wife,Christiana Agbaragu on December, 24th 1985.The marriage has been a happy one since then and is blessed with seven obedient and respectful children;one boy and six girls.Out of the six girls,four have got married and have given birth to many children.They are living fine with their respective husbands.This makes me happy and proud as a grand father.
