I started knowing something was wrong with me when my younger brother grew taller than me.

One time I was taken to the doctor and I saw him writing;’stunted growth’ I went and looked for the meaning.”

Chinedu added that his mum’s encouragement saw him through the dark days.

“My mum would always encourage me to study because I could not do hard jobs.

I knew the only weapon I had to conquer the world was being good in my books.

I cried, and there were times I thought of ending it all. I felt like the world was unfair to me.
