Gordons is an indigene of Delta State and an Urhobo by tribe.
According to an interview he had, he has this to say about his growing up; Growing up was hell because we were the poorest of the poor, and even the people considered as poor used to call us poor people, it was that bad. I used to trek to school barefoot because we didn’t have money to buy shoes and even when patch trousers had not started reigning, I had already started wearing patch trousers to school because the uniform was torn but no money to replace it so I had to patch and wear it.
It got to a point that my dad lost what little job he had then and at the age of 12, I had to start being the breadwinner. I would go out and fish all morning so that we could have something to eat and sell.

I could not go out, maybe to a party organized by friends if I didn’t borrow what I would wear and I had to be very careful where I wore it so they won’t say it’s somebody else’s shirt I was wearing.
But thank God I found favor in the sight of my friends in school and the teachers. My friends would ask me to teach them what was taught because I was very intelligent and in return, they would buy food for me or give me money.
It was hell growing up, but it taught me a lesson in life that it is only God that lifts a man up.
