This young lady above, says she was fathered by a ghost, only
to later marry a ghost for whom she has 3 sons and is
currently pregnant for.
According to 20-year-old Taiyelolu Abdulrahman, while
telling her chilling story to Nigerian Tribune, her father, who
died almost 20 years ago, nurtured her till she was married to
another dead or “ghost” husband.
She and her twin brother, Kehinde, grew up with their father
in a flat at the Ajah area of Lagos.
They led a relatively comfortable life in the house where they
only depended on generator as the only
source of electricity. Although their father was not engaged in
any kind of work, he provided for them.
My father was not working. He never left the house
except on a few occasions at night. But if I asked for N50,
000, he gave it to me. We had no visitors and we visited
nobody,” she said.All they had to do were sleep, eat and
watch home videos.
Asked about her mother, she said she and her twin brother
grew up to know only their father. They did not see any
woman with him.
To go out of the house, their father gave the twins a small
gourd each which they simply clasped to their palms and then
they burst out on the road and board vehicles to the market to
purchase food items like wheat, semovita, macaroni, spaghetti
and rice. They never consumed amala (yam flour meal).
On a particular day, however, Taiyelolu forgot to take her
gourd and as she stepped out of the house, what confronted
her was a cemetery with a lot of vaults and a bushy
environment.
She screamed and dashed back inside.
Then, her father told her to pick the gourd, atona (guide) as it
was called. As she clasped the object to her palm and then
ventured out, this time, she found herself on a busy tarred
road.
Another incident which frightened her happened in the night.
“My father went out whenever he wanted but it was
always around 10.00 or 11.00 p.m. He would not take
anyone along with him.
But there was a day I begged him to take me out to where
he usually went and he obliged.
When we got there, something strange and fearful
happened. It was like a canteen and there, I saw a small
cooking stand with a big pot on it without firewood or fire
and the food was boiling. I asked my father how it was
possible for food to cook without firewood and fire and
the woman selling the food became angry and slapped
me.
She asked my father who I was; that I was not part of
them but only wanted to expose their secrets. My father
begged her and we left the place,” she remarked.
After the incident, her father refused to take her out again so
that she would not be privy to the secrets and circumstances
surrounding their true identities.
Since then, she refused to take food from her father, but only
cooked her own food.
By the time Taiyelolu came of age, her father did not allow
her the choice of a husband, but asked her to marry someone
identified as Abdulazeez.
The man moved in with them and behaved like her father.
Soon, she got pregnant. And when she eventually went into
labour, she said her father went out, brought back a particular
kind of leaf which he applied on her navel and she was
delivered of a baby boy without any complication.
Her father, who acted as the midwife, took care of the
placenta. She bore her two other boys in the same manner.
Her children were named Abdul Qayum (now eight years
old), ‘Rokeeb (four) and Jamiu (two and a half).
But what revealed the true identities of her
father and husband?
She disclosed that all the jealously guarded secrets began to
come to the open when her brother Kehinde declined to marry
a lady recommended by their father.
They continued their routine life until their father considered
Kehinde mature enough to get married and brought a lady
home for him.
But Kehinde was said to have refused outright to marry “one
of them.” Taiyelolu said she asked him what he meant by
“one of them” but he told her not to bother as she was only a
woman who was oblivious of what was happening.
One day, Kehinde was eating and he suddenly coughed,
slumped and died. My father did not feel any sorrow as a
result of this. He buried my brother in an unknown place.
When I asked him about where he buried him, he said
some Muslim clerics had come to pray over his body and
he had buried it. Not convinced by his response, I said to
him: “When I had my babies, no clerics came for the
naming, but they came for the burial of my brother?’”
Disturbed by the shocking death of her brother, Taiyelolu
confronted her father that she wanted to know his family. That
decision marked the beginning of her journey into a new
world.
“
Eventually, my father agreed to take me and the children
to his hometown, Offa, Kwara State. He said he was from
the imam’s family. When we almost got to his family
house, he said he wanted to check on someone close by
and pointed the house to us. He asked us to ask for Alhaji
Hussein Salmoni, his uncle. When we met his uncle and
explained ourselves to him, he was taken aback. He
eventually showed us his grave. He said my father died
over 20 years ago,” she said.
Amid bewilderment, Taiyelolu left for the only place she
knew as home, Ajah, Lagos, but could not locate their house
again.
What worsened her situation was the mysterious
disappearance of the gourd which her father had given her and
could have guided her back to the house.
She went to Ilorin in an effort to locate her mother’s family
house which her father told her was Isale Koto.
She managed to strike up conversations with some people
who introduced her to a radio presenter who narrated her story
on air.
She also met a lady who she followed to Ede, Osun State, and
stayed with for about a month. It was while in that city that
she traced her husband’s parents.
She claimed that she was walking by the road one day when a
car parked by her side and the driver told her that it was her
birthday and in order to felicitate with her, gave her a handset
with a SIM card.
Taiyelolu is uncertain of her age, but assumed that she could
be more than 20.
It was when I got to ‘this world’ that I realised that I am
too young to have given birth to three children with the
fourth on the way. Also, I did not know that there is a
place where people struggled to earn a living until I got
here. It saddens me that I now wake up every day with no
money.”
She said she never attended a school, but that her father had
the knowledge of the Qur’an and had western education.
According to her, her father was the one who taught her and
her brother Arabic and a bit of western education,” she said.
It is obvious that Taiyelolu is truly versed in the recitation of
the Qur’an. Her children now attend a primary school in the
village.
On how she got to Tonkere village in Osun State, she said
she went to observe the evening prayer at a mosque in Ede
when, after prayers, she was chatting with the imam and an
old man appeared and told her in clear terms that she was
suffering.
The man then asked her why she was obstinate about
returning the children with her to Tonkere, her husband’s
place of birth.
The man said if she refused to do so within three days,
something unpleasant would become of the children and the
man disappeared.
Then she asked the imam if he saw the old man who just
interrupted their conversation, but the imam said no. She then
collected N200 from the cleric, fetched her children and the
four of them, at about after 8.00 p.m., boarded a motorcycle
to Akoda junction for N50.
At the junction, she asked another cyclist to take her to
Tonkere but the man, because of the fact that it was late in the
day, charged her N1000, whereas she only had N150. But it
was necessary that the children got to Tonkere that night
because their father, who was deceased, demanded that she
took them to his people.
As she pleaded with the cyclist, a car parked by them and
mediated in the matter. The driver asked the cyclist to convey
the woman and her children to their destination for N500,
which was the usual fare. The man gave the cyclist the N500,
wrote down the motorcycle’s number and warned the cyclist
to take the passengers to no place but the mosque at Tonkere.
As they alighted from the motocycle at Tonkere, Taiyelolu
said her husband appeared to her physically.
She said he pointed to the shop opposite the mosque as his
mother’s and the third building to the shop as his father’s
house, saying “I should ask for his father, Pa Gbadamosi.
As they conversed, her husband said a lady who was passing
by, Tosin, was his sister and he called her.” Between the time
Taiyelolu looked in the direction of the lady and looked back
in her husband’s direction, he had disappeared.
The lady Taiye is with her husband’s people now in Tonkere
village, but they did not receive her with open arms because
the aged parents of Abdulazeez were confused about how
their first son, who died at a tender age, could have fathered
three children.
They are suspicious of their supposed daughter-in-law and are
acting cautiously around her.
But she dismissed any suspicious of band motives asking why
she would want to lie herself into a poor home.
Also, Taiyelolu’s mother-in-law, the Iyalode of Tonkere, had
been down with stroke and the father-in-law is a farmer.
Financially, they are not capable of supporting Taiyelolu and
her children.
The lady, who said the clothes she uses now were given to
her, added that they were rags, compared to the ones she wore
in her father’s house.
What pointed to the fact that she could truly be from another
world was the way she was lamenting openly about the
treatment meted out to her by her in-laws.
She said if she had made up her story, rather than bringing her
children to the old mud house, she would have taken them to
the governor’s house. The mud house, she said, did not
compare with her father’s house in “the other world.” She said
she only left her father’s house with a black bag and a Qur’an,
which are still in her possession.
She also claimed to have dreamt of her father once, who was
all tears, lamenting with his finger in his mouth that he
warned his daughter not to embark on this journey. She said
her husband pleaded with her in her dreams each time his
people offended her. She said her husband said the reason he
insisted she took his children to his parents was for his parents
to have the joy of raising his children as they did not have
such opportunity with him even as a first child.
The parents said they could not remember where they buried
Abdulazeez.
The survival of heavily pregnant Taiyelolu and the future of
her three children pose a challenge to her.
She said the aged parents of her “ghost” husband could no
longer work, hence, the fate of her children hung in the
balance.
When she called Nigerian Tribune reporter last Monday, she
said she was having signs that she would soon put to bed.
She, therefore, appealed to the Osun State governor, Mr Rauf
Aregbesola; his wife, Alhaja Sherifat, other well-meaning
Nigerians, including corporate organisations and non-
governmental organisations to come to her aid by empowering
her so that her future and that of her three children abandoned
could be secure.
What about her husband? She says he, these days appears
only in her dreams.
