Obinna, a brilliant young boy growing up but came from a poor background. He survived with only his poor mother and younger sister. He didn't know anything about how his poor mother suffered alone to raise him and his younger sister until he knew himself and started struggling for himself as well as his mother and sister. Life wasn't easy for them. But his mother did all her best to bring them up in good manners and fear of God.

Obinna never had the opportunity of going to school like his fellow age mates. He doesn't even have a friend that comes around to say hi to him. Nobody ever sees him as somebody. They always see him as a boy that nothing good can ever come out of. The family was so impoverished that they were not even allowed to move freely in the community. What a world. "How could people deprive their fellow humans from moving like them simply because they don't have money

Obinna normally collects farm work from the farmers in their community to make money because that is his only source of income. He has been doing this since he was a child, and it has made him and his family the laughing stock of the community, but Obinna never gives up for any reason.

People do see Obinna as a poor boy and nothing good can come out of him. How does someone without a good background make it when there is no one to give assistant to him? But in Obinna's case, he didn't look back at his background. He looked forward to how to remove the shame and reproach surrounding his family. How to accomplish it was his problem knowing that he didn't have a helping hand

On a day that Obinna was going to the farm to do a job, he collected, but to a point, he saw a group of people gathered. He didn't know why they were gathered, so he insisted on going to see what they were doing. When he got there, he discovered that they were playing a spinning game where you spin it will roll and if you win something it's yours. So they tried driving Obinna away but he

But, disregarding them, Obinna approached the person in charge of the game and inquired as to what could be done to participate in the game, eventually discovering that the registration fee was fifteen thousand naira. After he is to spin, then it will roll, and after rolling any where it stops, whatsoever it is, it would be given to the person that rolled it, making Obinna feel as if he had won the highest price already.

He told Obinna that was the only money he had saved. If he lost the money, he had to start from square one again. But he mustered courage and went back to the house to get the money. He rushed back and registered but people were looking at him that he didn't know what he was doing but he never mind them Obinna did all this without the knowledge of his mother. Not even his younger sister knew about this

And lo and behold, Obinna won two billion naira. He was shocked and thought it was a joke, but when they brought the money, he knew it was true. Everyone was surprised that it had to be Obinna. That was how the Obinna family was lifted up. They lived well and healthy just because of a roll of the dice.

Just a roll changed the life and background of Obinna. This story is touching. You need to strive hard to become what God wants you to be If Obinna wasn't determined to pay the money, he would have lost that opportunity to get rich through rolling

Nobody ever expected that Obinna would win the game, but they were short of words and didn't know what to say. At that moment, the whole story was changed.

Obinna was so surprised to see himself in the type of car he was driving because he never expected his community to be so weak that they could not say a word at that moment.
