My Uncle Said I’ll Die Poor — Aisha Yesufu Narrates Childhood Ordeal by Abdulazeez99: 4:42pm On Jun 30, 2021
Activist and co-founder of Bring Back Our Girls movement Aisha Yesufu has recounted how her uncle told her that she would die poor, Igbere TV reports.

Mrs Yesufu narrated her ugly experience growing up in a Twitter thread on Monday. According to her, her uncle who made the statement is now a pastor.

She wrote,
“My mother’s immediate junior brother told my mother and myself in the presence of my grandmother, his mum, that we will die in poverty and wretched. He said a lot of nasty things to my mum that he had been saying to me that I never told my mum. I was living with him then and in JS3.

“I will never forget how my mum wept bitterly. This was a man my mum practically raised. When he got married, he couldn’t afford rent and lived with us. When he started a daycare centre and school my parents invested in for him.

“When poverty struck us he became nasty! Poverty is a canceller!

“I lived with this uncle for a year because his house was close to my secondary school and will relieve my parents of the burden to pay transport fare. My father reluctantly allowed me to live with him after much pressure from my grandmother, his mother-in-law.”

Yesufu added that she started her menstrual period in her uncle’s house and that he “turned my menstruation to a crime against humanity.”

“As a teenager, I used to shuffle when I walk. My uncle and his wife said that I was using my feet to sweep their wealth away. They accused me of witchcraft. Even the way I swept was interpreted as me sweeping their wealth away,” she wrote.

Yesufu’s confession comes days after Nollywood actress Eucharia-Anunobi Ekwu made a shocking revelation about her father who refused to send her to school because she was a girl child.
