Sleep with someone that will die soon. So that they will pass the seed of children that dies before birth to her, and to receive her own children-spiritually.
So she chose Paula.
After the ordeal she always go to see if Paula was alright, although she go with the face of one who others dare not look.


Paula was outside her cell one saturday evening, although she did not know which day of the week they were in. She had wondered why God had not made them kill her, and why that bad thing happened to her.This was her third month in the cell. When it first happened, she had wanted to doubt God, until she saw in her bible that 'all things work together for those love God' and that 'line her falling for me in pleasant places', so she know the rape was a line that had fallen for in pleasant place. She felt like God used it to ward off the death from her head.
Then, she felt an irritating feeling in her chest, as she decided to spit out,instead, she started vomitting, at that same time, a muslim woman, who was doing ablution around that spot, saw her and rushed to her to help her, holding the water for her ablution with her.
'Sorry, ma', the woman said, her accent giving her up as someone from Ondo state. She helped her wipe her face with water.
' What happened?' The woman asked, as she helped Paula sit down,' what did you eat this morning'.
'Rice...' Paula replied, breathing heavily. She wondered what happened,' I was just sitting her and felt an irritation in my chest'.
' Ohhh!!! Let me see your hand', the woman said, also looking at Paula's eyes,' Maberu, you are pregnant'.
Paula did not know how it happened, but the next thing was that she just started laughing; in fact, if people who knew her before were around they would think she had gone mad again.
' Preg..gini..?' she asked,' how can I be pregnant? Have you ever heard a barren woman being pregnant before?
'There is nothing God cannot do', the woman informed her, ' you are pregnant'.
'I'm....' Paula said, looking at her stomach and pressing it with her hands, she touched it severally. Tears flowing from her eyes,' I'm pregnant'.
Just like the case of the rape, everybody heard that Maberu is pregnant, and people were also ready to help.
For nine months, they smuggled in baby things for her. Any money gotten was given to Ojuanu on her behalf, who helped her get things to keep her going, and for the baby. The students preachers also heard it, and brought things for her.
Everyday, she looked at her tummy, rubbing her hand over it, wishing that it will be a girl so that she would name her Bimpe.
On the day she would get delivered, she was lucky one of the family member of a rich woman, she had encouraged alot, was around. The man helped her to a hospital, paid her bills, after the Police agreed, making sure two Policewomen followed her.
She gave birth to a baby girl.
The next day, the hangsman came calling.

Chapter 35
Before she even gave birth to her baby, she had begged for her laptop where she completed her story.
So after she returned to the cell with the baby, and by 3.00pm, she decided to add the story of her baby to it, and that was the truck came in. The moment the van entered the hall she had a feeling it was for her.
She typed 'Goodbye World'.
The warden that made her get the baby is now pregnant, after she came to beg Paula. Since, she lost her pregnancy again. This time Paula preached the gospel to her, and prayed with her concerning her pregnancy issue, she was six months into her pregnancy already.
When everybody heard Paula was going, many of the Prisoners, near-death fellows, and jailers cried. They wished they could replace her, but none could replace her. The warden promised to take care of her baby.
Paula only regret, now, was that she would not have enough time to care for her baby.
She smiled on, waving to them all as she left like an hero.
When they got to the place, she was eager to go. They had to restrain her as there were procedures they had to take before it began-there must signing of this and that by the person in charge of the killing and the other.
When she put her neck in the rope, which was thicker that a man's hands, a pastor came to pray for her and left. Then they read the allegation railed against her.
'Do you have anything to say', the man reading asked.
' yes... Jesus love you all, he has died for you all, all you need to do is to accept him. Salvation is a gift, get yours.'
Then the man pulled a lever that made the ground, she was standing on, open, then blood began to leave her head, oxygen also was leaving.
It happened so fast, as if she heard a noise somewhere, she was happy she seems to hear the voice of them in heaven, she knew she could not the hear the voice of them in hell. She is already sitted in heavenly places with Jesus, all that was remaining was for her soul to leave this earth for heaven.
Then, the force stopped, she was breathing again. She was like,
'Is this how the air of heaven smell... It smells like real air.. I thought...'
'Wake up', a male voice said, shaking her cheek and tapping it gently, there, in front of her was Peace's betrayous boyfriend, Slyvester. She looked at her cloth, it was still the one she wore, when she was going to die.
'Thank God, she's alive', they all sighed.
' You are not the killer', Slyvester said, with a little joy in his voice.
She rose from the position she was lying and looked at Slyvester, eyeing him as if he just stole something great from her.
'It was your friend that actually sent those hired killer to kill Bimpe. Bimpe caught her trying to kill you with a charm, but kept it secret after much plea. However, Fiyinfolu was afraid you she will still tell you, and that was why she asked you to send men to injure her, however, she had told them to kill her. So they did something what she wanted.'
Paula could not cry, neither could she laugh.
Life has just being so unfair to her. But Jesus had being fair- After she met him, she gave birth to the child she had sought for, and escaped death after she met him.
Life is not fair but Jesus is fair.
So she would name her book, ''Who is fairer?''
