An open letter to the girl in her teens by Femi Owolabi Hello dear, I know you would have read or heard something like this, since you assumed this phase of your life. If you will oblige me, however, I wanna share with you, the story of Bisola, my friend who should be twenty this November. Bisola and I met early this year in my neighborhood. You see, that evening, I was sitting, with a few friends, in front of my house when Bisola walked past. Her beauty is mesmeric that our eyes followed her till she walked off the street. Days later, Bisola and I already got talking. Mind me not, I am skilled in making new friends that quick. Especially when the girl is beautiful, just like you, you know? Bisola is the second of the three children of her parents. Of course, she wouldn’t agree to my friendship proposal on time, and when we eventually got talking, she told me of how she despises the guys in the neighborhood; those guys who just wanna woo every girl they see walk past. “I will not allow any guy destroy my future o,” Bisola told me. Let me confess, at this initial stage of our friendship, my affection was driven by pure lust. Forgive me, men could just be like that, sometimes. Bisola was careful. She slapped off my hand when it rested too much on her shoulder, that evening I walked her down the street. She repelled every flirtatious gaze I cast at her. She came looking for me one day, sometime around mid- August, and was told I was inside my room. My door was pointed, and she came knocking. I asked her to come in, but she was skeptical and asked I come out instead. When I opened the door and she peeped into my room, she saw my shelf and marveled. She was attracted by the books, obviously, and willingly, she stepped into the room. “Are you the only one reading all these plenty books?” she asked me, as she knelt by the shelf looking through the titles. Bisola sat for JAMB this year but she scored low and didn’t meet the cut-off for a university admission. She was preparing to re-sit for the examination. I helped her search through the shelf for an old Economics textbook because Eco, as she fondly called it, was her preferred course of study. The gift of that book really meant a lot to her, and she hugged me, for the first time. That moment when our hearts got enclosed in a hug, I could feel she’s troubled. “I have not seen my period,” she let out a sigh, looking into my eyes. At first, I didn’t know what to say. “You had an unprotected sex with your boyfriend?” I laced this question with smiles, hoping she would take it as some witty asides. “How could you relate such to me?” she was furious, and she left. And for days, she didn’t answer my calls. I got angry with myself, you know. I called a friend who is a doctor, asking her what could be the reason why a month would go and a girl won’t have her period. I told my friend to eschew any pregnancy thoughts, because the girl in question never indulged in sex. My friend used some medical jargon and then suggested some medicines. The next time I saw Bisola in the neighborhood, I ran after her, to show her the names of the medicines that the doctor has recommended. I wrote the medicines’ names on a sheet of paper I got from my chest-pocket, and I took her palm and put the paper in it. She was reluctant in receiving it. “Femi, can I trust you with something?” she asked, in a whispering tone. I told her to go ahead. “I had a D & C abortion in June,” she said. Looking askance at her, I didn’t know what to respond. “We had sex, my then boyfriend and I. I discovered the pregnancy in June and I had to quickly get rid of it,” she continued. Bisola is this smart girl, but I began to see her naivety, especially when she started telling me about the boyfriend whom she now hated. It was an irony; her naivety juxtaposed her seeming smartness. “You will be fine,” I calmed her, and I furthered with my enquiries. I was then told that in the cases of some D & C abortions, it may take about three months before the patient gets her period. I called Bisola and I told her to worry not, for her period will come at the expiration of three months that she had the abortion. We both started counting down to September 4th when the three months would elapse. I was out of town when Bisola called me, that it was the tenth day of September and no traces of her period. I, too, got overwhelmed with worries. “Let me go back to where I had the D & C in June and asked why this,” she suggested, and I agreed with her. She left her Lagos home for somewhere in Ibadan, without telling anyone what she was up to, except me. She consistently begged me not to reveal this to anyone, even when the worries seemed bigger than what we two can handle. The next day, she called me. “I have just been told that the D & C I had in June only took one baby of the two that was inside of me, and this one might have been growing” she said. I was shocked! I didn’t know how possible this could have been. “So, what do we do now?” I asked her. I could feel my voice shivering, because of how my heart palpitated. “Get rid of it!” she screamed. This time, it wouldn’t be through a D & C as she has been assured. She asked if I could raise her some money because she has been billed another N15, 000. A second abortion in a short interval-- of months? I couldn’t just take this. “Let’s leave this baby, my darling,” I begged. She was quick to anger you know. “Just say you can’t give me money. I should leave the baby? You, can you marry an after-one?” she said and she terminated the call. I tried to reach her again, and she wouldn’t pick my calls. Later in the week, she called me. It was not good news. The one of the twin babies has been confirmed lifeless. There was no other option than to bring out the lifeless thing from her womb. Few days after the operation, I spoke with her over the phone and I could barely hear her. “I have been bleeding profusely,” she said in a faint voice. “Femi, I feel so weak. Pads can’t even hold this blood. I’ve been using towels,” she added. I was already in tears, you know. I shared a bit of this on Facebook and many friends suggested I ensure her parents know about this. I had to open it up to one of her uncles in the neighborhood whom I always argue politics with. He brought in the parents and they set in immediately. Last Thursday when I called her line, her dad picked. “She is sleeping,” he told me. He thanked me for always checking on her. “When she’s up, I will ask that she returns your call,” he said. On Monday night, 28th of September, 2015, my phone rang as I stepped into my room. “Bisola is dead,” the caller said. “She died this morning at the University College Hospital in Ibadan,” he added. Oh yes, I laughed. That would mark the beginning of the mental illness that held me for hours. I became sicker. I became weaker. A part of me died with Bisola. The memories of that young girl who knelt by my shelf-- asking for an Economics textbook-- haunt me. Why am I writing to you? You see my dear, I discovered that Bisola feared being stigmatized as an after-one. Just like you, she wanna go to the university, graduate and marry her lover. But things went wrong, and she wanted to return to her normal self. I know you have a boyfriend. I had a girlfriend, too, when I was eighteen, and oh, we did crazy stuffs. I know you guys really wanna be all over each other and have sex. I write to beg that you be careful, okay? I know your approach to life could be refreshingly naïve. See, many boys would wanna play on this. You have to be smarter, okay? I wish I could explain better. And in the case you eventually get pregnant, sweetheart, don’t rush to abort it, please. Call your mum and dad, and tell them. Don’t go through a D & C alone. My parents, conservative Christians, won’t approve of abortion. I want to believe yours, too, won’t. It is your life that matters and not what people would call you; after-one or whatever. You will be amazed at how people will stand strong for you, the after- one girl. Please, take these things seriously and stay alive to enjoy that future! I care about you, always. Femi Owolabi, 1:15AM 30/09/2015. Onipanu, Lagos, Nigeria PS: You can re-share and re-blog this, and get it to the girls who would need it. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10153025295446604&id=634706603&refid=7&_ft_=qid.6200308364431632045%3Amf_story_key.4773875669785234107%3AeligibleForSeeFirstBumping.&__tn__=%2As |
If you take a look at the failures in nowadays exams,you will find out that most people fail maths than any other subject. Some individuals will always say that"One Can't Do Things Without Calcutions"fine! That also means,Government should be made a compulsory subject because we all are controlled by a government,we all need to know all about the government I really find it dishearten to see students write O'level exams over and over again all in a bid to get maths. I urge the Nigeria government to look into this matter. |
funnysaint:I tried doing this but it ain't working. I keep getting this response"Session ended Try again".... |

Hizzy:Lol... No I'm not ooo.... But if its God's will,who am I to say no?... |
thorpido:I just found a scripture concerning in tongues as a gift. Corinthians 12:1-11 God bless you man.... |
missKiffy: kamez:In Matthew, chapter 9, verse 6, Jesus tells us that He was given authority on earth to forgive sins. And then Scripture proceeds to tell us, in verse 8, that this authority was given to "men"...plural. In John 20, verses 21-23, what is the first thing Jesus says to the gathered disciples on the night of His resurrection? "Jesus said to them, 'Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.'" How did the Father send Jesus? Well, we just saw in Matthew 9 that the Father sent Jesus with the authority on earth to forgive sins. Now, Jesus sends out His disciples as the Father has sent Him...so, what authority must Jesus be sending His disciples out with? The authority on earth to forgive sins. And, just in case they didn't get it, verses 22-23 say this, "And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.'" Why would Jesus give the Apostles the power to forgive or to retain sins if He wasn't expecting folks to confess their sins to them? And how could they forgive or retain sins if no one was confessing their sins to them? The Bible tells us to confess our sins to one another. It also tells us that God gave men the authority on Earth to forgive sins. Jesus sends out His disciples with the authority on earth to forgive sins. When Catholics confess our sins to a priest, we are simply following the plan laid down by Jesus Christ. He forgives sins through the priest...it is God's power, but He exercises that power through the ministry of the priest. God bless you!! |

thorpido:Guy,Idontbilivit... I will have to see my priest for clarification... Thanks Man.. |
thorpido:Is there any bible reference on that? It is written in the BIBLE that "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God" (I John 5:1). |
I think This is my first time of seeing celebrities dressed up well..(No showing of boobs,bras and sometimes P*nt) |
thorpido:"The disciples could not receive the Holy Spirit when they were with Jesus because it was NOT TIME YET". You just answered the question... I guess what you were trying to point out is that "there is time for everything"... Being a born again is different from receiving the gift of speaking in tongues.. The disciples were all born again,they worked with Christ,still,they were unable to speak in tongues.Why?..because the GIFT of speaking in tongues wasn't bestowed not until the day of pentecost... Read ACT 2:1-4...its clearly written there.... So,I disagree with you where you said that one has the gift of speaking when he becomes born again,if that is so,the disciples of Christ wouldn't have waited that long before the started speaking in tongues. God bless you!!! |
orisa37:The spirit needs to give you the auction to speak in tongues... You don't wake up one morning and start speaking in tongues,you must have been given the GIFT of speaking in tongues by the HOLY SPIRIT... I just want to let people know that it is a GIFT and not something you learn... God bless you!!! |
thorpido:Are you trying to say that the disciples weren't christians? So,all this while they were with Jesus they haven't received him as their Lord and Savior? Comon,for the fact that u receive Jesus as your Lord and savior doesn't mean that you will be given the gift of speaking in tongues or prophesy instantly.. Remember,it is a GIFT and not something you learn... God bless you!!! |
Chidexter:Now,that is the real speaking in tongues!!!! And not when someone "STIRS" u to speak in tongues. |
chichriso:Yeah,its just so annoying |
thorpido:I disagree with you.. Why didn't day speak in tongues for long not until the pentecost day? The bible said in Act 2:4 King James Bible "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE". I believe the "SPIRIT" has to give us the utterance. Speaking in tongues is a GIFT,just as the gift of prophecy,healing etc... |
I have found out most people speak in tongues anytime. Some when eating,some when praying,some when walking etc. According to the scripture,before the disciples spoke in tongues,the holy came upon them.. But nowadays people don't wait for the Holy spirit to come into them before they start speaking in tongues.. I was in a church sometime ago,and I was surprise when the pastor told us to start speaking in another tongues(Me I started speaking my language oo) And in most cases,some people keep repeating the same word over and over again.eg "zazazazazaz","bababababa" etch. Aren't we suppose to be filled with the holy spirit before speaking in tongues? |
hopilo4life:You are welcome |
