After like 10days into saga, It seemed as if I was becoming stronger. I didn't bother again. I conncentrated on what my God wud do for me against my accusers. Thank God for the october devotion, every evening I wud go to church and come bak at night. I made it a duty to visit the Blessed Sacrament daily after devotion. There I wud say my Psalms and my rosary. One prayer I loved/love so much is the "Memorarae"

I never missed this prayer.
I never cared abt what was going to happen. My true frnds were always wit me.
Every body who truly knew was asking obinna to think well. If he actually knew what he was doing.
One day in Ariaria market, someone mocked my mum with d situation. My mum had to close her for dt day around 2pm, came bak and was crying bitterly. In all these tinx, we directed the insult to God.

We did all we cud to draw God's attention. We invoked all d patron Saints whose names my sisters and I took after. Mine was St. Chrysogonus of Aquiliea. We also didn't fail in bookin mass intentions and novena masses. Wow!! There is power in d Catholic Church and her prayers. We sought the face of the Lord, he answered us from his holy mountains. Obinna and his friends threatened to involve d bakassi men. They threatened fire and hell if I kept denying. In all thess tinx, I never gave in to their threat.

The funniest was some people advised my mum to save her only son at all cost. They suggested countering obinna's native doctor with another "stronger one"
And it was Fr Nath saw d vision, that evening, on d 20th of october, he said he was gonna follow me to my house. He said he wanted to pray with me and my family members. I quickly called my and informed her of Fr's plan. They were very happy.
To our greatest surprise, the first tin Fr Nath said in my house was "the devil is going make u people an offer to deliever you from this situation. But remember, when devil saves ur SON, he takes ur DAUGHTERS". He advised against the any form of devilish offer. And encouraged us to hope in God who never fails. After that we from Psalm 51, he blessed us and left.

Wow!! Finally God of infinite greatness has begun his revelation. The whole of world bank is going to shake. It's going to be a great manifestation.......

After that sunday, the nest day was a monday. By that time, we had contacted all our family members. We informed them of all d developments. And they all showed interest. These family members of mine knew what I cud do. They knew d kind of person I was. This made them all very eager to see to d last minute of the situation. My mum's youngest brother wud call me at least twice everyday from d USA. On several occassions, he gave phone to one of his frnds who was also a strong member of St Anthony of Padua in USA. The white lady wud tell me to see the situation as a test to my faith. And also a test to my type of God.

While this happened, Obinna went and told this dibia that I was denying that I stole d fone. This man promised him that wud come to my house for public disgrace sinx I was denying stealing the fone.
The day obinna entered our room and informed my mum that dibia was coming to see me. My mum nearly fainted. She cried like her life was coming to an end. We knew the type of man this dibia is/was. We had seen his hand work bfo. Xpecially the case at Livyco company. He was/is a ruthless and devilish man. My sisters cried and my mum was always crying in our room.

The next day after monin mass, I met Fr Nath and told him that the dibia wanted to pay me a visit. Told him the man's plan of forcing me to confess and the kind of humiliation I wud be subjected to. Fr. Nath smiled, took me by hand and led to dia private chapel inside Father's house.. This chapel was for Rev. Fathers' perpetual adoration and prayer. He left me dia and told me to confess my sins directly to Jesus. He said I shld tell God everytin I knew abt the fone. The Blessed Sacrament was always exposed there perpetually.

Stepping inside dis chapel, I was filled awe of the chapel. The environment was sometin else. Even d lightening in dis chapel was magnificent. Very fantastic! Instantly I was overwhelmed with fear. I felt Jesus bfo me. I couldn't look at d direction of the Blessed Sacrament. I bent my face while kneeling. As I was abt praying, I broke down in tears. My cry was heavy that I couldn't even hear mysef. I started repeating those words again; " if I know anytin abt this fone, let my generation be forever cursed. But if am innocent, vindicate me. Proof my innocence" I cried for a long time while praying to Jesus. Finally I brought out my Rosary recited the sorrowful mystery.

When I came out from this chapel, Fr Nath gave his number that I shld call him if the native doctor ever comes to my house. I thank him and left d parish house.
Before I cud get home, my mum and sisters became so worried abt my way abt. I had over stayed d monin mass. They were scared. My mum said she her fear was I might commit suicide or been attacked. Because of this, she wud hardly allow me go out only me. It's either she went out wit me or one of sisters followed me. I never missed the psalms which Fr Nath gave me.
The stigma was out of this world. So many people knew me. I was an altar server in our parish in world bank. I was always met by people asking me "what happened"? "Is it true that they said u stole a phone?"

I was helpless. My family was in great distress. We resolved to calling upon the name of God.

hurricaneChris:
On that day dis tin happened, I went straight to our church (Blessed Michael Tansi chapel , Aba) because I knew d battle wasn't for me or my mum. Fighting a native a native doctor? God forbid!!!
As I got to church, I met our Rev. Fathers abt goin out. Fathers Nath and Vin were new in d parish....just one week. Although I had served in Fr Vin's mass some days bak.
I narrated my story to them, and Fr Nath assured me that if I was sure I didn't take d fone, nothing was gonna happen.

He also told me to search my hrt and tell them d truth. That 3 people I can't lie to are my doctor, my lawyer and my spiritual director. After saying all these he gave me 4 chapters in d psalm (35, 51, 121 23) to be praying then prayed and blessed me wit an anointing oil. I started goin home.

The next day(sunday) being the 7th of october, (wow!! Great day) I went to church as usual. Although if u saw me, u wud knw I was depressed. After d evening devotion, I went bak to d Blessed sacrament to pray.
As I knelt down infront on d pew infront of d Blessed sacrament, I started crying bitterly. I cried so painfully while I was begging God to vindicate me. Many oda people who were also prayin inside d church stopped and started looking at me and wondering what was happening in my life.

If u listened to my cry, u wud knw I was bitterly hurt. I just couldn't say any word clearly. But I knew Jesus was listening and hearing me.
I remember telling God that "If I knew anytin abt that fone, let my generation be forever be cursed! But if am innocent, vindicate me, proof my innocence"
I said this particular word repeatedly still crying painfully. It was at dis point that one lady walked up to me infront of altar dia and started consoling me.

I kept crying and crying to d xtent she got emotional. She now brought out d ROSARY she was wearing on her neck and hung it on my own neck and walked without saying another word.
Immediately she left, I felt dis strange strength in me. I became suddenly fortified. I stopped crying crying instantly and was praying clearly. I now positioned mysef like. A baby who wants to start crawling and began praying my ROSARY!!!

*Can't believe am dropping tears while typing this*

hurricaneChris:
When my eyes opened to reality, I realized I had been made a thief in broad day light. I didn't knw what else to do, I didn't knw those who wud truly believe our own side of the story.....that I was innocent.
I automatically bcame an outcast! People began to have double mind about what I cud do. Even those I tot were my frnds gradually withdrew their rapport with me.

It became d news everywhere in world bank housing estate Aba that I was a thief.
The worst tin was dt people believed obinna and his frnds sinx it came from a dibia. Almost every body in our estate knew abt this native doctor's legendary in incantations. Because in many occasions, when cases of theft were reported and he involved, the culprit always ended up "confessing" I remember a case at Livyco construction company. This is a big steel company that constructs fuel tanker along Aba-Ph express way. One day, a welding machine got missing. They invited this man, and he came, after many incantations, some workers in dis coy began to "run mad" with d feel of pepper in dia eyes. This tin didn't stop until they confessed. This dibia nickname is "Aka ose"......hand of pepper. His method is torturing the culprit wit the feeling of pepper in d person's eyes and body.

On d road, I cud hear people murmuring "is this d one who stole d fone"?
My mum on hersef wasn't spared. Those who were praying for our downfall saw dia greatest avenue to laff at us. People were never gonna stop asking her y her son cud steal d fone. Is it that she couldn't provide a fone for her only son? My sisters left dia studies at Imsu and came bak to Aba to stay with us. Then my eldest sister was abt writing her 4th MBBS exam at imsuth in orlu. The second one was a 300L student in d medical sku also at imsu. The third just got admission at unizik then. They all came bak!

We were facing the biggest trial of our life after our dad's death.

Their only brother was been accused falsely!!

hurricaneChris:
Around 10:30am that same day, my mum called me from d market that I shld leave whatever I was doing and come to d market.

I was surprised. My mum wouldn't allow me come to d market. She wud always joke "leave the market for me, while av left d sku for u and ur sisters"
I rushed to d market immediately, only to observe that my mum's eyes were red swollen. She had been crying.
I didn't knw what happened, my mum couldn't talk because of tears.





I pleaded wit her to tell me what happened. I thought abt lot of tinz. I had 3 elders sistes in d uni. What cud av happened to them. Finally my mum talked to me. She said Obinna called her and asked her to tell me to bring out the fone or "something terrible will happened to me"
I didn't really understand that. She(my mum) continued sayin dt obinna and his frnd went to a native doctor and d man confirmed I stole d fone.

I still didn't knw what to say. I didn't see d fone. Infact, d night bfo this lost, I didn't see Obinna. He traveled and came bak very late. I had already slept by the time he was bak. My mum was still crying. She didn't believe him. But the fact that Obinna had involved a dibia, a soothsayer and my name was mentioned during his incantations scared life out of my mum.

The battle between the power of God and d power of darkness had begun. And it was gonna last for 20 days!

hurricaneChris:
....When things happen in a way that makes us speechless, it's either we drop tears of while singing endlessly to God almighty or feel like doing "crazy" like shouting, jumping, dancing to songs of joy etc.

These were actually my situations and dt of every body in my family on d 26th of Oct, 2006. We're overwhelmed! The miracle was unexplainable. We didn't knw hw it happened. But we knew God almighty tru the intercession of The Blessed Virgin Mary had shown the fulfillment of his promises......."Never to allow innocent go down"

I may not have the right words to describe all that happened within these 20days, all am very sure is dt I was a "living corpse"
On the 6th of october 2006, being the first saturday of the month (month of Mother Mary), I made sure attended d morning mass which is always dedicated to Christian Women. (CWO saturday). As my mum and I were preparing for d mass around 5:30am, Obinna our neighbour entered our room and told my mum that he woke up and couldn't see his phone again.

Obinna with his dad and we were sharing a 3bedroom flat. So he was like frnd to us. Xpecially when d dad died, he retained dia room. We were very close. When he told my mum that his fone missing, we couldn't say or do much because we had already prepared for first saturday mass.

My mum told him to kip searching every in his room that he might have misplaced it somewhere in his room. We left.
From that morning mass, my mum went to d market. While I mysef stayed bak for saturday duties for altar servers.
