Delta State University Genius Runs Mad... heartbreaking story

A young man who was described as academically sound during his undergraduate days has developed mental issues.

Read the touching story as shared by Eric Okijie below:

About a week ago, I was walking down a popular road in Benin city while on phone with a friend. As I was about to cross a T-junction, suddenly while still on the phone I heard the man (in rags) whose pictures you are seeing speaking the best of English grammar, but not minding him nor listening to what he was saying, I walked past him.

Immediately he paused, and I heard a strange voice calling me by name.

Shocked I quickly hanged up the phone.

Don't you know me? He asked! I didn't say a word. Looking at him, still wondering how he got to know my name!

Are you not a Nifesian? He questioned.

He then went on to remind me what happened about ten years ago, how I helped him as a fresher in Delsu Asaba campus, how I accommodated him when he had issues in hostel 9.

He told me his name is Emeka. At this point I was confused so I hurried away. But as I walked away, I was troubled within me especially because even though he looked insane, his ability to accurately remember events that transpired 10 years ago was baffling.

Convinced in my spirit to probe further, I went back.

I called him EMEKA and with excitement he said, "you Don remember me now abi?" Then I interrupted him.

I asked him who else he knew in Delsu apart from me. Adebola Bakare he replied.

The following discussion ensued;
Me: Who was you best friend in School?
Emeka: Stanley Ochuko

Me: Which course did you study?
Emeka: business administration

Me: which year did you gain admission? 

Emeka: 2007

Me: where you a regular student? 

Emeka: no it was CEP he replied.

At this moment I was like how come you remember so much? 

Emeka: I can remember everything that happened.

Me: Okay, give me any of your family member's phone number.
Emeka: I can't remember any

Me: if you can remember what happened 10 years ago, you should be able to remember a number.
Emeka: if I remember I for tell you.

Me: Where do your parents recides? 

Emeka: DSC.

Me: which church do your parents attend? 

Emeka: deeper life bible church.

Me: which branch?

Emeka: DSC branch.

Me: what about your siblings?
Emeka: I don't know where they are.

I discovered that He is from Isialangwa, Ugwa in Abia state. His mum's name is Mrs. Unkasi popularly known as "nwanyi church" he added. And for over 30 minutes I was with him asking questions and receiving answers?

Before I finally left, he described his place where he sleeps along the road to me. I have passed by that place several times within the week and always see him sitting.

I have gathered that his name is Onwughara Daniel and that he started having certain mental issues back in school.
