"Godwin Okpara Turned Me In to A Sex-Slave" by amakaikeng(f): 6:11pm On Oct 12, 2012
Tina Okpara, the teenage girl who was serially raped by Super Eagles star, Godwin Okpara, has released a book, detailing how the sexual assault went on for two years.

Tina Okpara

In the book titled, “My Life Has A Price”, the victim narrates how she was adopted at age 13 by the Okparas and taken to France.

Linda, Okpara’s wife, then enslaved her for five years and turned a blind eye to the sexual abuse, she says in the book.

Tina’s decision to write the book seven years after she regained freedom, aims at raising awareness and helping other girls who might be going through the same horrendous experience, she said in an interview with TheNews magazine.

“One day, I told myself that if I refused testifying, other girls will continue to experience modern slavery,” she said.

She explained how her biological father was tricked by the Okparas into believing that she would be sent to school in France where the Super Eagles star was playing for Paris Saint Germain.

However, once in France, she was used as a sex slave. She was also prevented by Linda from attending school.

“The day she spat it on my face that schooling was not for me because I was too stupid, I lost all hope,” she said

As the abuse worsened, Tina kept secret notebooks where she could “dump all my sorrow”.

“These notebooks were used to dump all my sorrow, all my hatred for Linda. It was my lifeline and my friend,” she said.

The 188-page book, originally written in French, has just been translated into English.

Godwin is currently serving a 10-year jail term in France, while his wife, Linda, will be in jail for 15 years.

What a sad story. I'm happy the victim got her justice (which I doubt was done in Nigeria).
Would a person of Okpara's stature be tried and convicted for a crime like this in our country?

The guy had the guts to do so because he thought he could only be tried in nigeria as the girl's family is there and knowing he woullf have gotten away in nigeria.
I wonder why the couple couldn't have gotten an older girl of about 18yrs from there village if its virgin they wanted, am still trying to understand the wife's mindset and reason for her coperation.

Is not bad if she sells it to make money after all the production cost her money and at the end of the day its her experience and ideas so she can sell to make money from it. If you have any interesting experinece that can help a lotta people you can also put it into writing and sell it
