IBALE(VIRGINITY) .: Stories A virgin is someone who has never had sexual intercourse or sexual activity. Virginity In Yoruba Culture During the traditional era and before the advent of colonialism, virginity was held at high esteem among the Yoruba people. A lady is expected to get married as a virgin as having sexual intercourse before the wedding ceremony is a taboo. This is the reason why the intending couple are not allowed to have close contact or be in the same room with each other before the D-day: thus, the need for an intermediary (Alarina). Virginity to them is known as ‘Ibale’ and it is the pride of any Yoruba lady to keep hers till her wedding night.The wedding night is usually seen as a frightened day for the bride and her parents. In those days, mothers were fond of asking their daughters about their virginity so as to prevent the shame and disgrace that come with not been a virgin. On the wedding night, a white cloth is usually given to the couple and the cloth will be spread on their bedding, mostly mats. The parents of both families sometimes stay at the entrance of the house waiting for the cloth to be brought out of the house while some parents will be in their homes expecting result. In this culture, the white cloth is expected to be stained by blood and after the sexual intercourse, if the cloth is stained, it means that the new bride is a virgin. If it turns out that the white cloth is not stained with blood, it signifies that the new bride had been promiscuous and slept with a man before. A bride that is met as a virgin by her husband will be celebrated while the one that is not will be disgraced and banished from the village. The white cloth (stained or not) will be sent to the bride’s parents. Other items like rotten yam, half-filled matches or empty box of matches, half keg of palm wine will also be sent to them meaning that their daughter was rotten and not complete before she was married. The parents will be publicly blamed for not training their daughter. Grief, sorrow and loud cries will follow suit. Such bride that will sweep the whole village, dance naked in the market’s place before she finally leaves her village. The groom also has the right to divorce such a woman. On the other hand, if the newly-wed was met as a virgin, the groom’s family will send a full keg of palm wine, full matches box to the bride’s parents indicating that their daughter was complete before the wedding night. She will be praised publicly and her parents will be happy. It is believed that virgins have self-discipline and are well-trained by their parents. This custom and virginity has many advantages as it prevent the rate of fornication and helps the married women to be faithful with their husbands. Also, many lives have been lost to the act. Some young ladies have committed suicide because of the shame. Highly respected or elders can also commit suicide if their daughter was found to have lost her virginity before her marriage. This tradition is no longer in practice and has eaten deep by colonilisation. IBALE(VIRGINITY)....ITS ALL ABOUT A MAIDEN FROM HER VILLAGE TO THE UNIVERSITY, SHE KEEPS HER VIRGINITY THROUGHOUT HER LIFE, BUT WHEN SHE GET TO THE UNIVERSITY SHE HAVE TO FIGHT VERY HARD IN ORDER NOT TO LOSE IT BECAUSE IT'S A LAW AND AN OAT MAKE BY THE ANCESTORS AND MUST NOT MISTAKENLY BE BROKEN BY ANY HOW GUY IF NOT THEIR HUSBAND WILL THE MAIDEN LOSE HER VIRGINITY? WHO WILL DISVIRGIN HER? WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF HER SEAL HIS BROKEN? WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE GUY WHO BREAK IT? WHAT'S IS BEHIND THE LAW AND THE OAT? WHAT CAUSES THE LAW AND THE OAT?

episode 13 .: It was relived in the lenses of my brain and eyes as if it was a digital movie shown on a LCD television! —— I sat on the gossip chair in front of the girls’ hostel where I was a serving corps’ member, pressing my runner-band supported handset. I was getting furious because I was kept waiting for long. “Where are you for goodness’ sake?” I typed I was almost getting mad! I am a woman for Christ’s sake and I shouldn’t be kept waiting for long for one d--n man from wherever! I love him…oh yes I do! But it’s sunny It was so scorching that it felt like I would have tanned greatly. Adejare had told me to leave my hostel very hurriedly and I had been very scared of what could have been wrong. I left the tray of groundnut I had just peeled and was blowing to take garri and I quickly wore a very long, fitting gown. I stepped into flat slippers and jumped out. To my dismay, forty minutes after the ‘pajawiri’ call, he was nowhere in view! There was no reply, though the message marked ‘read’ My heart started beating and I became really vexed. If I had checked the mirror, my eyes would be so red Exactly how was I supposed to feel? Sad? Scared? Solemn? Uncertain? How was I supposed to feel? …but I felt angry. In our years of friendship, we had always kept to time, keeping no one in suspense. ——– I stood up and turned towards my hostel. ‘If he called later, I might not come out o’…I thought to myself I turned to look round again to be sure he wasn’t near. There was no sign of him, so I started walking away angrily. —– As I placed my right leg on the first stair case, I felt a warm hand on my shoulders. I turned around fiercely. It was a guy’s hand and I wondered who had the audacity to touch my shoulders. It was Jare! I tried my best to hide my anger but no! “What sort of a thing is this? Were you kinda playing some games with me? Jare, you should know me better. Excuse me” I said and started mounting the stairs He followed me He was not panting That only meant, he had not run. If he had run to catch up with his fiancée sitting under the sun and who had waited for him for the past 40 minutes, he would be panting like a deer now. It meant he had been quite around for some time, watching and waiting to see the level of my perseverance. Jare shouldn’t be the one doing that to me. I hate those kinds of tests, abeg! “I am sorry dear” he said calmly …and it worked Magically….as it always did! I stopped in my tracks I was still backing him. “What?” I asked angrily. “Sorry for wasting your time” he said coolly. I felt guilty and turned to look into his face. There, in front of my face was a very big bowl of ice cream scoop. I held my breath “Are you for real?” I exclaimed loudly, smile erupting my face He came closer to me and covered my mouth “Bush girl, don’t embarrass me jhur” he said sweetly into my ears And I blushed! I loved it when he called me bush girl! Weirdo me! But wasn’t I really a bumpkin? The last time I saw this very large bowl of Ice-cream at Shoprite, I went to check the price and so clearly, it was embolden on the cover ‘N2, 500’ Where was I supposed to get that from? But here it was on a platter of gold! He took his hand off my mouth and I smiled sweetly at him. “This is so sweet of you” I said and he smiled too “Let’s leave this place for the shade over there” he said as he pulled me gently back to the gossip chair. As we sat down, his eyes were steadfastly set on my face and I looked away “What is the problem?” I asked He sat beside me “What would Gun Jun Pyo have done if he were to be the one waiting?” he asked and my eyes shone brightly “You watched Boys Over Flowers?” I asked so astonishingly, beaming with smiles He smiled too as he shook the head “If I didn’t watch it, you said you would withdraw your ‘yes’ nah and I didn’t want to lose my all round beautiful angel!” he said and I blushed with excitement “You won’t kill me Adejare!” I said softly and he pressed my right palm sweetly. I watched the Korean movie on my roommate’s laptop and I loved it so much that I had pestered and threatened that he must watch it. But he had always had one or two things to criticize about the movie which I always fought him about. The language irritated him but that sent cool chills down my own spines whenever I watched. Talking about the main character now (Gun Ju Pyo) showed how much he cherished my interest and how much he wanted to be a part of my life. I was happy that he watched my best movie ever! episode 14 .: “Now, for real, Gun Ju Pyo stood outside the Namsam Tower from evening till dusk…not in the sun or rain or….but in the snow!” he said firmly, a small knit of frown on his forehead. I pouted my lips as I hugged his left hand firmly. I knew what he was driving at. “I ordered for the strawberry flavor which they didn’t have. So I had to wait till it was freshly mixed. My mind was on fire as to how worried you would have been. I was so shocked that looking at you from the back view, you didn’t look worried but angry! Is that our love? No patience?” he asked and that was when I knew that he meant business. “Are you angry?” I asked and he shook his head “If in the movie you recommended for me, a proud, arrogant rich kid could wait for hours in the extremely cold snow for an ugly duckling as he did call her, I don’t know why you beautiful lady couldn’t patiently await your sweetheart for some minutes” he said and I smiled ruefully. “I am so sorry dear. It was intentional. Forgive me” I said, touching his small beard playfully. He looked away “No problem. Take your ice-cream before it thaws” he said as he placed the big bowl into my hands “Thanks” I said, smiling but he looked away still. I had to do something to save the situation before it got out of hand. “Please smile and tell me you have forgiven me” I said and he gave a little smile “I have forgiven you” he said curtly “Add darling jhur. I have forgiven you my darling” I said and he smiled largely. “You can’t be for real!” he said “I am for real. Say it” “I wont” “Say it jhur” “I wont say it jhur” he said on. By now, my playful frustration had made his smile to grow larger but I wont let go until he added ‘my darling’ I moved to his side and started to tickle him hard. He fell upon me in a fit of laughter. I didn’t let go “Say it” “Darling” “Say it loudly” “Darling…I have said it” he said, gasping for breath as tears strolled down his face from the forceful laughter. “Say it in full. Smile and say I have forgiven you my darling” I ordered again I intensified the tickling “I have forgiven you my darling” he said and I tickled him the more as we both laughed out loudly. It took some minutes before we became sane again. “Eat ice-cream with me please” I said to him but he shook his head and held my hands softly, stirring deep into my eyes “What have you eaten today?” he asked “Nothing. I was about preparing food when you called me” I said and his face lightened up “What delicacy were you trying to prepare?” he asked sweetly and I smiled “Garri. I got some freshly made groundnut. It would really be a good combination” I explained and he shook his head “Garri! I wonder why your eye sight is still as good as this when all you take is nothing but garri! I just wonder!” he said, so worried “I will be fine. I just love it” I said and he shook his head “You like garri or there is no money? Which? Would you stop lying! You wouldn’t allow anyone to help you even in the slightest way and it’s tiring. You have become so lean and I really don’t know what to do to you again. I just want this service year to end so I can marry you shaperly” he said and we smiled “I can’t wait too. But as much as I love you and wanna spend my life with you, the big obstacle on our way wouldn’t give me real joy” I said with mixed feelings even as I sadly inserted few scoops of ice-cream in my mouth. “My parents?” he asked as he nodded knowingly “Whether my parents like it or not, it is you I want, not another! You are my wife” he said authoritatively. I nodded like a chicken and took in more spoons of ice-cream I looked into his face He looked pained “I just don’t want to be the cause of any problem between you and your parents. I don’t want wahala for you” I said again when I realized that he looked so withdrawn and sad that I had not said anything sensible since. He shook his head. He took the bowl of ice-cream from my hand and placed it on the mud bench with a bang. I looked into his face with shock etched on my heart. He held my hands and pulled me up “We have to do something important now.” He said as he pulled me away I was mum as he pulled me on till we got to his car. He opened the door of the front seat and made me to sit down. He turned to enter through the driver’s seat. I was so patient. He sat for a few minutes after he had put on the regulator in the car to regulate the temperature in the car. “Erm…” I said after I became bored of the silence. He looked at me. Tears flowed down his face I was shocked “What is the matter?” I asked as I held his hands in amazement He wiped his tears with the back of his palm and looked outside. “I am scared” he said and I became more scared “Of what?” I asked and he turned to look at me “Of you! I am scared of you!” he said firmly and my mind was in serious disarray. “Of me? How? Why? What do you me?” I pressed his hand the more What could be wrong that he would be scared of? “You are loved! Many men love you so much. They look at you and even come to you at all times” he said and my heart was muddled “So?” I asked and he scratched his head “I am scared that you won’t be able to scale through my parents’ discouraging comments on phone even without meeting you. I am scared that you would one day tell me that you had reconsidered our relationship and that you are backing out. I am scared” he said, bursting out into tears the more. I smiled “Adejare! You almost killed me with your words. Is that all?” I asked, still pressing his palm softly He too his hand off mine and wiped his face “You don’t just understand. Not at all do you understand!” he said and I held his two shoulders and shook them gently. “I love you. I will stay by you. I will always love you. I will not leave when you when you need me most. I won’t. I promise!” I said and he looked into my face “Are you sure?” he asked as if he was a baby “Yes I am sure” I replied like his mother as I wiped his tears. We had been friends for years and I understood clearly that he didn’t want anybody between us. He jealously wanted me for himself only! “Swear” he said, seriously I smiled “I swear!’ I replied him. I didn’t believe in swearing but since that would make him ok, I decided to do it. He smiled and gently pushed me aside as he hurriedly checked his drawer for something I didn’t even know. He brought out a razor blade. “What’s this?” he asked, raising it to my face “Razor blade” I replied, still unsure of whatever he was driving at. Before I could stop him, he had cut himself on the left thumb My eyes widened “What was that for?” I asked as I held my chest in horror He panted quietly “Lick it” he pointed the finger at me “What!” I exclaimed and he urged me with his eyes “Only if you love me, Glory. If you sincerely do” he said and I shook my head “I love you Adejare. But what’s all these for goodness’ sake? What?” I lamented and tears gathered in his eyes. “I will lick yours too. It shows you love me unto death do us part. There is no side effect” he said again and I sighed deeply as i licked his salty red body fluid. He smiled and then picked my right thumb, cut it a little bit and licked my blood I cringed! He smiled again, looking satisfied “Please repeat after me…” he started and I nodded as I turned to look at through the window I was never going to leave this guy! I wonder why he was wasting his time doing something fetish and unbinding as this “…the day I go against this bidding, let the ground receive me” he said and I repeated after him He hugged me afterwards and that was how our relationship became strengthened till we finished our service in Nasarawa state. Was that the blood covenant the pastor was talking about? It couldn’t be anything other than that though! Because I had never killed anybody…not even a fowl! I just needed this God! The God that saved my Doctor from the devices and enterprises of the enemies…. I need that God too! —-urgently!!! TBC episode 15 .: The whole house looked forsaken and abandoned! The kitchen had plates that flies perched on because of their filth! My room had different clothes littered on the floor. I felt nauseous immediately! Just for the one month that I was away! …and everything had already changed this much. My children looked unkempt- all of them! “They are still kids o…so, you can’t expect them to keep the house the way you would have done” my doctor said as if she could read my mind I couldn’t feign laughter I was mad! “But this isn’t nice at all” I said as I surveyed the children “Taiwo and Kehinde, you couldn’t even take care of your young ones? You couldn’t bath them? See how diseased you all look!” I almost wept “There was no soap. The detergent we were using finished” Taiwo said “Detergent?” the doctor asked, quite surprised. “It is also good on the body o. it’s just like medicated soap” I tried to cover up our pauper lifestyles “I don’t like that at all. These detergents are not good on the skin o. They sometimes eat into our skin. You couldn’t have asked me for soap when you visited the hospital” the doctor said and I looked down in shame. I had to save the situation again. “Kehinde, come here” I called at my daughter who looked so weird and withdrawn She staggered as if she was drunk and fell to the ground before me. I jumped back as the doctor rush to bring her up “What is wrong with you?” I asked but there was no response from the girl “Talk to me….somebody talk to me. When did Kehinde become paralysed? Kehinde!” I exclaimed as I turned back to be sure a cushion was behind me. I sunk into one and looked on. “Taiwo, Tola…somebody talk to me..” I pleaded, very weakly “Mummy, Sister Kehinde yaf pregnant” James said and there was silence …as if everyone in the house except me knew about this except me! I blinked as if my life depended on it. “Kehinde, pregnant…how? Doctor, you know about it? Please talk to me somebody. Someone should tell me it’s not true.” I was almost crying My heart couldn’t just accept the bad news. None of my children I ever have such thought towards in my entire life Teenage pregnancy?… ah ah! “Take it easy Mrs. Olowo” I heard the doctor say and I looked at her, so lost in thoughts “You know about it?” I asked in a very loud voice The doctor looked at me and smiled lightly “I couldn’t tell you anything because of your health condition but thank God you are hale and hearty now” she spoke on and I couldn’t but watch on in silence. My heart was racing so fast. As she explained to me the ordeals of my daughter’s pregnancy, the abortion and the brutal method used, the bond that existed between one Haruna and my daughter, I couldn’t believe my ears. I pinched myself, slapped myself, and slapped my tongue against the roof of my mouth severally so I would be startled back to reality … But it was the truth! The bitter cola! I slid from the chair on which I had sat to the cemented floor and wept like a virgin widow who had lost her husband to ‘Magun’ before he could even touch her. My girl was just fifteen years old for God’s sake! What did she know about s-x? What did she know about abortion? Abortion with hanger … Chai! Iron hanger for that matter! My body flinched severally that I couldn’t control it. “Who did I offend in my past life? Exactly who did I offend that is afflicting me like this? Afflicting my children too? Ahhhh…Jesu oooo!” I wailed on, slapping my laps as my hands gathered momentum. I looked at the Kehinde under my teary eyes and she was so pitiable. Her collarbone was visible and she looked hungry- weak and uncared for. “Kehinde” I called out to her. The doctor still held her lovingly as she sat on the floor with her. Her hands on her shoulders I didn’t know if I should be harsh, or calm according to the Doctor’s prescription or angry, or wounded or disappointed. I didn’t just know how to act at all. “Ma” she answered faintly, her head shaking on top of her neck as if it was so light like paper. “What happened?” I asked, fixing my eyes on my daughter- my filthy daughter! “I ron’t doh” I heard her say, her eyes half shut. I sat straight and looked at the doctor. “Doctor, what’s wrong with her? Her tongue is tied? Please check for me” I was so scared. When did she start pronouncing don’t as ron’t and know as ‘doh’. I stood up immediately and went close to her side. Her eyes were contracting and her tongue was tied. The doctor stood up to the situation and laid her down on the floor. “Get me a pillow please” she said and Taiwo rushed inside for one. The doctor used it support her head. “Kehinde…Omokehinde” I called out as I pulled at her hand. The doctor pulled out her stethoscope as my girl started making croaky voice from her throat. I was scared. “Don’t die please. Kenny, please don’t di…” I was still saying when she dropped her hand suddenly and her tongue wagged out to the side of her mouth. “Mummy…to…lli” she seemed to say what I decoded as ‘sorry’ and she closed her eyes in death.

episode 11 .: There was a knock at the door and a tall, slim, teenage and two small boys came in with a basket and a polythene bag. “Good morning doctor” the girl greeted me in an almost sweet manner “Morning dearest. How are you?” I replied “I am fine ma” she replied The two boys went and positioned themselves at the sides of the bed. Glory smiled “These are my children.” She said and I smiled “They are very lovely” I said “If you say so” she replied, bluntly “I am very serious now. Your children are lovely, loveable and good looking” I said and she winked at me “Stop it” she whispered, trying to shush me up I was dazed “What’s your name lovely?” I faced her daughter and she looked down, fumbling at her dress. “Taiwo” she said and I held her shoulder, pressing them softly. She cringed But I smiled “Taiwo, please go out with your brothers while I discuss with mummy” I said and they obliged I went close to Mrs. Olowo “Why were you trying to stop me from talking?” I asked and she looked offended a bit “I don’t like the way you were praising them in their presence. It is very wrong!” she said, closing her eyes to everything I would have said to defend myself I smiled and tried to hold her hands “When you praise the children especially young girls, they tend to become very arrogant and then they become immoral” she said and I practically laughed “No wonder!” I said and she looked at me, her forehead wrinkled because of the frown on her face. “What?” “She winced at my touch, embarrassed by my compliments of her body and oh…no wonder!” I exclaimed again. I just wondered where some mothers get their orientations from about the girl-child upbringing “So what?” she asked “What you don’t know is that if you don’t tell her now, she would have people to tell her out there. The guys you are trying to shield her from would be the same people who would tell them about things in their bodies they had never even known about their bodies” I explained and she could only look on “Hmmmm” she said, not so convinced The door opened “Dr. Flora, the Consultant wants to see you now” a nurse came to inform me “Thanks Ennie” I said to her and smiling, she left. “I think your kids have brought you some food. Try to eat. I will see you later.” As I left the ward, her children entered and the door was closed. I was tempted to go close to the door again and eavesdrop. “What food is here?” she asked “Rice, pepper sauce and goat meat. There is pap and moin-moin too” the daughter said and I was bemused I thought she was supposed to be poor “Inside the nylon her is cotton wool, more cannulas, syringes and tissue papers. She said she would see you in the evening” the daughter explained on Oh, someone was helping! “This Mrs. Hasiya o! Oh my God! What can I say to her but that you bless her for me? What else oh Lord?” she said, faintly “She even gave us Semovita and Ogbonno Soup last night. Mummy Uku Amsin still came yesterday” she said and I heard a long hiss “What was she looking for? Only looking for how members would fill their churches and not concerned about her welfare. I hate those kinds of Christians” “She wanted to buy chinchin as usual” Taiwo said and the small boys laughed “I wonder why some Christians find it difficult to help their so called brethren when they cant be there for them in times of need, especially the rich ones! Ah! People of other religions are doing better than them any time, any day!” Mrs. Olowo said again, somehow pained My heart was crushed! I was as guilty of what they were saying as much as the Rev. Mummy. Most times we are carried away by winning souls and getting people free from some vices while we neglect their physical needs. What they need to make their faith grow! God have mercy! “God will bless her for me. When I had nowhere to go to for your NECO exams fee, she came in and paid it all. If not, that is how Kehinde would have disgraced me totally. Did she even return the money to the guy?” I heard her ask “She said she did” “But did she?” I heard her mummy ask, raising her voice “No. she bought a new phone” I heard her say silently and I smiled That should be expected! As I straightened to start going, the nurse ran towards me again. “Madam, there is an emergency.” I followed immediately and set to work immediately. “Why would you attempt abortion with a hanger for goodness’ sake” I said as I sanitized my hands I never imagined that I would do any surgical operation that day but I just finished one almost life threatening one …….. “I told her not to abort it o but I was shocked when she suddenly started bleeding in my shop this evening” a young guy with a hairstyle like agama lizard said TBC episode 12 .: I looked at him “Are you the one responsible for the pregnancy?” I asked and he nodded “She is my girlfriend” “So, why did you get her pregnant?” I asked and he looked at me as if I was the most absurd person on earth “I love her. She is my girlfriend. How do I show her love if not through this?” I shook my head “And who says that having s-x with a lady means showing her love? If you love her, you would go and asked for her hand in marriage form her parents. You are very wrong!” I said forcefully and the boy smiled “She loves it too. Even if I don’t touch her, she would come close to me, just for me to touch her” he said and I shuddered “Who are your parents, they need to be informed about your condition” I said and the girl raised her head. “No ma. Don’t tell them. I will go home with Haruna. He is my husband” she said and I was shocked “You love this person over your parents?” “Yes. He is the only person that loves me in the whole wide world. He sees the good in every part of me” she explained, gasping for air. “That he says that to you does not mean he loves you. It could be lust.” I said and she shook her head. “I prefer the expressed lust he has to the unexpressed love my parents say they have towards me” she said again and I simply shook my head “What is your name?” I asked “Kehinde” she replied “Surname?” I asked again “Olowo” she replied again And my tightened muscles loosened as my mouth caved into a small, perfect ‘O’! “Did you go into any blood covenant?” that was the first question the pastor asked as he set his eyes on her I smiled Even I was becoming a prophetess! I knew it was nothing but blood covenant! “Sir, she had some incisions done on her” It was then I realized that I had not even asked when she got the incisions and how “Yes. The incisions are obvious and her parents had the incisions done on her body from birth in order to dedicate her to their family gods even though they were Christians at that time. Right?” the pastor asked And she nodded “I read it from my mum’s diary that I was dedicated to Olunlu, the god of Ilan, my village” “Your mum kept a diary? She was learned?” I asked and she nodded “They called you Glory but from birth, your portion had been shame.” The pastor revealed and I watched I would reach that level one day too! I didn’t tell the pastor anything about this woman so how he got to know was so wonderful to me. “In accordance with the injunction of the herbalist, you were carried nakedly around the market square for 21 days after your birth to wade off evil and that was when the glory departed” the pastor narrated on. He hadn’t even held her hands to pray for her o But everything he said was true as she nodded amazingly to the words of the pastor. “This is wonderful! God still exists o! Real men of God are alive” she exclaimed. “You are right about what you just said but don’t be carried away by words of revelations and discernment as some false prophets can actually replicate that. Just know in your heart that God is alive and it shall be well despite the influx of many false prophets” “Hmmm…this is wonderful! I am stirred” she exclaimed, looking intently at his face in awe. “But, there is more to all that is happening to you. The incisions are the genesis of the problem but the Spirit of the Lord is telling me that there is more to it.” He said “What?” she asked “I am not being told. It is being held from me by the Lord.” He said “Ah! What could it be?” she asked, so seriously “I thought as much. I felt it deep in my spirit that something else still hangs in the air” I said too. “Yes…something like Blood…I see blood!” the pastor said and we looked at one another questionably “Your deliverance hangs onto your confession…if you could but confess” “Blood?I have never killed anybody in my life o….not even an unborn baby” she said, tears gathering in her eyes. “Just think deeply if you have been involved in some bloody transaction like that…” The pastor urged on Was the case becoming pathetic? Her daughter lay on the bed in the adjacent ward recuperating from a dangerous abortion attempt. Another revelation of ‘Blood’ has resurfaced God, please intervene oo >>>It Continues still<<< |
episode 10 .: We had fed this woman with these gibberish she had been vomiting oh God! God, your daughter needs real refurbishing! “Mrs. Olowo, I beg your pardon but your perspective about God is so wrong! One, no Bible says heaven helps those who help themselves, it had just been adopted for use by many people trying to avert the right spiritual course they are supposed to take. Two, God isn’t slow! Mrs. Olowo, He is merciful! He loves! He cares! He might appear slow but no, God’s time isn’t Ours’ and His’ is always the best time. If you trust him wholly, forget sister, He is never too late!” I just couldn’t say much. My heart panted so hard. “So, how did he not save you when you fell into your fits of epilepsy? Why was it that some incisions on parts of your body, done in the names of the gods healed you? Why?” “I didn’t complete the statement the other time ma’am. The epilepsy stopped when I was taken to the traditionalist but it didn’t last! The devil never gives something that would last! The problem I had was epilepsy and by the time in came back after about 3 months later, it added real convulsion, rheumatism, blood vomiting and many more” I explained and she looked disgusted “God of mercy!” she exclaimed, holding her chest firmly. I was happy that that one hit her with a bang. “But it took just a touch of His garment, the touch of faith and Jesus took them all away” “Hmmm…but what happened to the incisions on your body?” she asked and I smiled as I relived it all. After Jesus had healed me and I had become born again, I started having series of dreams, different masquerades pursuing me in the dream, different masked guys sleeping with me in turns; I saw myself carrying white calabash on my head and my body covered in white! It was a scary thing! I did wake up every day then with a start, panting, sweating and very scared. I was so confused Was this how it would feel at first after giving one’s life to Jesus? “After months of tormenting dreams, I spoke out to my pastor who quickly sent for two deliverance ministers after listening to my story. They set to pray for me and see me vomiting different substances. The greenish thing I was made to drink at that time, I vomited too, a ring was vomited too and it was really a tug of war as everything done against me through those incisions were nullified and destroyed.” “So, there are specially meaning attached to incisions?” she asked and I nodded “You are right ma’am” She gasped “Do I also need deliverance?” she asked “Yes you definitely need one. But you definitely need a man of God who has really been called of God because if a fake one lays his hand on you, it’s as good as proclaiming death sentence on you.” I said and she nodded “Would you get me a pastor?” “Yes. I would bring him tomorrow” “That would be so nice of you.” “You are welcome” “Thank you for talking to me like this o. I am so grateful” I smiled as I looked into her face. I was supposed to have peace that her victory was near but no! I felt as if I had not been able to even get to the root of the problem. What else is the issue oh Lord? I held her hand to pray with her and an electric current surged through my veins. She smiled at me …and I reciprocated in a very weird way ever! “I will see you later. Let me go and attend to the other patients” >>It Continues Still<<< |
episode 9 .: my doctor p.o.v still continue: I watched as her lips danced on… The short, curly strands of hair at the sides of her face looked beautiful as thin streams of sweat cascaded down her face. “These are incisions” she said, softly and I smiled “As if I knew” I said in my heart I held her back and patted her. “It’s going to be alright my dear sister. It takes the revelation of the problem to proffer solutions to it. Since God has shown us what it is, then we already know the battle we are fighting” I explained. I had been a victim of incisions and I knew just how to face it. It’s nothing but through God’s divine power. Before I gave my life to Jesus, I had a disease called epilepsy and this had really caused me many valuables plus disgrace in the public place. I remembered when I was still at the college when a guy who had been a very close friend proposed to me jokingly and while we smiled over it, he had pushed me with the tip of a finger and the disgrace came again! I started gasping I fell to the ground with a thud! I started foaming Because of this experience, Amos, my very good friend deserted me. I lost my family, I lost Amos my b---m friend, I was really being stigmatized and I was almost giving up. Then, one day, my mother called me suddenly, asked me to get into her ‘cabu-cabu’ car and off she drove me to one mud house in her village. I thought it was a joke until I was given something greenish to drink and before I knew it, I was asleep. By the time I woke up, it was so brutal, what had happened to me. My long, dark hair was gone- my head was scraped clean! My hands peppered from the cuts of incisions- 21 on my right hand, 21 on the left hand, 14 on my forehead, and 14 behind my neck. I couldn’t weep that day as I felt the frustration that my mum felt that could have made her do such to me. She apologized as she wept that she just had to save me from the disease that ravaged me then. And it worked! …or it looked like it worked! Until five months later when the problem returned with full force. If the ailment lasted for 22 hours before the ‘traditional operation’ was carried on me, it increased to about 50 hours. That was when I realized that it is only when God gives gift to a man that he adds no sorrow to it. The devil gives you a single thing then he takes about an hundred things from you in return! I met Jesus when I attended a crusade and I gave my life to Jesus. “Mrs. Olowo, I can relate to what you are going through as well. Check my body well and you would see quite a number of incisions in there.” I started Her eyes widened “Really! Even doctors believe in traditional powers?” she asked so surprised I smiled “Well, I got the incisions before I gave my life to Jesus and I really did regret it” I said, surveying her face for her reaction “You regret it? Isn’t it supposed to be the reason why you are still hale and hearty? Isn’t it why your work is going on well with no issue?” she spoke on naively, looking at me as if I was the weird one “But what about you? Are the incisions working for you? If they are, why are you finding it difficult to do certain things? Why?” I asked and her enthusiasm died a bit “Well…” she said and observed a very long pause “The truth is this my dear sister, the devil gives no man anything good” I said firmly and she shook her head “Of course I know. But I am alive only because I am well secured and safe through the powers imputed in me. If not for the incisions and all, my case would have been a no no!” She explained, so sure of her conviction. I shook my head Oh what blindness! “So, what of Jesus? Where is the power he promised? Is he not able to save or deliver? Is that what you are saying? That Jesus is powerless?” I bombarded her with the seemingly millions of questions She gripped my arm suddenly and squeezed it “I didn’t say that” she said “So, what were you saying? Explain in clear terms” I so hated it when my Lord and Savior is being underrated by anyone because He had so done marvelous things for me. “You had incisions too. Why?” she asked, pouting her mouth in argument I cleared my throat I was ready to fight this to the end God’s name must be glorified “It was because of Epilepsy” She smiled “And it did stop after the traditional intervention, didn’t it?” she smiled as if she had won the case. I was interested in the point she was driving at so, I nodded “Oh yes, it did stop!” I said and she smiled widely, clapping her hands together “God isn’t as strict as we have painted him to be. In fact, the Bible says, heaven helps those who help themselves…” Misquote of the scriptures, oh God! “My doctor, God seems slow sometimes. Where you expect him to act, he wouldn’t act but when you do not expect him to act, that’s when he would act. So, we have to consult the gods while still worshipping God because they are just like messengers to him” she killed it all. TBC |
