Growing up was easy for him, in a normal Nigerian neigbourhood with people from different tribes of the country, he learned to tolerate everyone, as well as living without class.

With his neigbourhood partly rough and football the only known sport, Hardy will have to fight with other kids at times to keeping standing and those were the beginning of the story of young man who would be making his mark as a singer, author, blogger, graphics & web designer, Industrial Chemist, inspirational speaker amongst others.

Although he made plans of furthering his education to the highest level, no step has been taken on that so far.
Writing

He was never known as someone who could write until his final year [SS3] in Secondary School where he started with poetry and short stories.

His interest improved and between 2001 and 2003, he has entered for several online poetry and play competitions including BBC Africa and International play writing competition.

He went on to develop with his love for computers and it changed his life after graduation as he went ahead to take a self tutorial to learn web designing and social media marketing.

He later worked with Nigeria Newspoint Newspapers in Owerri, Imo State as a graphic designer, entertainment columnist and website administrator.

In May, 2012, Chinedu Hardy Nwadike launched a news entertainment website which is today, one of the leading local content driven weblogs in South-East and South-South Nigeria with its root in Owerri, the capital city of Imo State.
The website was never an easy task for the Industrial Chemist turned Entertainment reporter; people advised him to stay away from Owerri because there was nothing happening there.

Not heeding to their advice, he continued to push his project as well as urging entertainment columnists in Imo State based newspapers and tabloid to always pick stories from his website, to encouraged the homegrown artistes whom many had previously considered as misfits for the entertainment columns of newspapers.
