Hello Nairalanders,

It's a long story, but I'll try to keep it short and to the vital points. Please endure the length.

There's a girl i met at a theological college in where I was studying to become a clergyman and also learning a skill under the civil engineering department of the college. She was my junior in the course, as I was a year away from graduating from my first course, while she was just a fresher. She was always having issues getting through her courses and projects and would always ask for my assistance since I was the course rep in that department. It was forbidden to have any intimate relationship with your course mate or anyone in the college for that matter, the penalty would be expulsion. But unfortunately for me, out of sheer lust and seduction on her part, and gross indiscipline and lack of self control on my part, I got intimate with her and we ended up committing fornication during one of our semester vacations. And it just happened once, of which out of deep regret and remorse I confessed the matter to the college Admin when the next semester resumed. We were panelled, after which I was suspended, while she was expelled.

During this time I was learning a skill sponsored by the college, of which I use to get paid some weekly stipend. After I was suspended I was also stopped from continuing my apprenticeship, because I was not to associate with any of the students or lecturers in the school while my suspension lasted. So I was without a job and without a source of income since I wasn't yet mastered on the skill. The condition that was given to me to resume my studies and apprenticeship was that I should go and get married before I could come back to college, so as not to be tempted to repeat my error. But I wasn't ready for marriage whether financially or any other wise for that matter. So while I was contemplating my next move, this girl came to me that she was pregnant, that she needed us to go and see her parents. I told her I had no money neither was I ready to father a child at this point in my life. I pleaded she should give me time to think about what next to do. Two weeks passed, and I called her to enquire about her welfare but her number wasn't reachable, I decided to go to her place, but I was told she had travelled a week ago to go see her family. A week later, I received a call from a woman telling me she was the girl's mother, that her daughter came home with a pregnancy, and she asked me if I was responsible for the pregnancy, I answered her in the affirmative. She then asked when I was coming to see her family. I told her I wasn't sure about coming to see them that I needed to speak to the girl first. She said okay, then later that day the girl called me, and I told her to come back for us to talk deliberate on the way forward. When she came she told me her parents (who are by the way divorced) will not accept her nor the pregnancy without me coming to see them for marriage arrangements.

I explained to her I wasn't ready for any such thing, that I have a calling to answer and a course to finish, that what happened between us was just a stupid and careless mistake that has been as a setback for me to achieve my goal, and that I was ready to overcome the trials and get back on track, and I explained to her that before then I had neither dated nor been intimate with anyone for over seven years, and so any kind of relationship or marriage was not even in my nearest future plans, and besides, I didn't even have a job, not to mention having enough money to embark on a marriage plan. She said she would never accept such excuse, that I should look for whatever means to make sure I come see her parents before her pregnancy becomes obvious. She also said that she needed money to move her belongings back to Imo state where her family resides. I agreed to raise some money for her. I went to do some menial jobs and raised some money, about ₦20k, which I gave to her and she traveled back to Owerri. From then on her parents kept calling and pressuring me to come and see them for marriage arrangements. I told them I was going to come, but just to introduce myself to them as the person responsible for their daughter's pregnancy not for any marriage arrangements. But they disagreed, that if I wasn't ready to come for marriage that I shouldn't bother coming. I pleaded with them to give me enough time to look for money to come and see them, but they instead started threatening me with court cases and arrests, at one time they brought the girl and some soldiers to my family house and harassed my family members including my mother.

So I later traveled to Benin city to go look for money. After one week of my arrival in Benin, I lost my phone and I couldn't retrieve my number. I lost connection with them until I got back to Uyo where I got her phone number from a friend of hers. At this time, I was told that they came to my house several times with police officers claiming I raped their daughter and impregnated her then absconded. At this, I established contact with the girl again and she told me that I should not bother her that she wasn't in the mood to talk to me, I kept calling her but she often ended up abusing me or we often times ended up in quarrels, so I left her alone for sometime.

Two weeks ago I related the matter to one of my distant uncles, who advised me to gather some money and go see her, I called her and told her I wanted to come and see her before she puts to bed, which is expected to be sometime next month (August). But she told me that she still stands by what her parents had said, if it's not for the marriage issue that I should not come, that I should rather send her the money I would use in coming so she can use it to buy the baby clothing and buy some hospital requirements before she puts to bed. I called her parents and they told me the same thing, and said if I don't come for the marriage agreement before she puts to bed, that after she's delivered of the baby I should forget ever coming, and should never mention that I have a child anywhere not to mention coming to claim it ever in the future. And that I should just forget about her and the child.

The issue now is this, I am a bit frustrated because I seem to have lost everything at the moment because of this issue; my calling, the skill I was learning is gone, I have no job aside the menial jobs I do at construction sites which isn't available regularly. Now the little I have saved so far, I am contemplating on whether to use the money to pay for my skills training and continue with it and start my life afresh and forget about her, the child, and her parents, or use the money to support her in her hospital requirements for her delivery. Because I don't want to be seen as abandoning her when she is in this condition, and I also don't want to give up on the child, though I'm not capable of taking care of the girl and the baby right now, and probably, I might end up getting married but not under my present circumstances. I know I've made a grave mistake and this is the consequences for not being true to myself and my calling, and I deeply regret it, and I've suffered for it in any way I can possibly imagine, but I also need to put my life back in order, because right now I'm so devastated that I'm contemplating terrible alternatives to survive the storm, I'm at a very critical moment of my life and I just feel like giving up on life altogether. Please I need your help and advice on this issue. Thanks.

PS. Please if anyone is willing to teach me any skill, I would be very grateful and willing to learn.
. Forget about that girl for now and fix your life first. Learn a skill and get financially stable. After, look for her. She would accept you. However if she doesn't, move on and marry another person. If you dare marry in your condition, you all will crash together. Marriage without money is worse than Fulani herdsmen.

Please don't marry her.
She was sent to destroy you and your calling by the devil.
Allow her give birth, do DNA test. If the child is yours, do well to take care of the child.
But DONT marry her. You will hate yourself more

The first mistake you made was going to report the matter to the college admin, those people has no mercy in their dictionary, they don't know the definition of mercy, they bring hash judgement on offenders. Is not that am encouraging what you did with the lady but some things are better handled privately, do you know the secret sins committed by the same people you reported yourself to? Some times we bring hard time upon ourselves and we blame it on God.

My advice, don't bother yourself over the lady and her family for now if she's not ready to reason with you. Concentrate on sorting yourself out for now, your issue with her and the baby can be resolve later in the future. Guy go and make money and make it big, when you make money they will come begging you with the child later in the future. Try your hand on cryprocurrency while you learn your skill and try every other legit things that can make you rich.

Good luck
He should try his hand on cryptocurrencies..?? You funny ooohhhh.. you want to clear the little money he has.

Hm see how devil just used 5mins madness to destroy your peace and career...
Like why can't you people just be like Joseph in terms of self discipline...

Even the girl. Your parents sent you to school and the very first year, you're already sleeping with a man. Without protection for that matter..

If she's someone that has sense, should sex be the first thing she should go and be pursuing immediately she got to school or her career? SMH..

You see, that time you were about to engage in the act was when you should have done what youre doing here now. That is, reason and ask yourself some of the questions you're now posing to us. It is then you should have reasoned you didn't have a job yet and not ready to father a child or get married.

The bible that says flee every appearance of evil is correct after all.

You better go and see the family because the didn't force their daughter on you in the first place. So, now you don buy market, go and carry your goods.

Everytime Sex sex sex.. sex that doesn't give you a happy ending, is that one sex?

When I tell people I've been celibate for many years, they think it's because I'm trying to form super girl. It's because of all these nonsense super story that you men come up with once there's any little mistake plus the fact that my body is the temple of Holy Spirit and not for any coconut head man who's just looking for anywhere to ease himself.
Mtcheeeeewwwwwww.
You're not even a virgin, temple of holy spirit.

Guy you Bleep up big time grin grin grin, a man must be ready to face his actions. There things I need to point out here
1. When she told you she is pregnant you should have dose things out smoothly not acting like you are denying your responsibility or actions.atleast when you were digging her deep you know she might be pregnant shocked wink wink wink
2. She might not even be pregnant, she might be trying to pay you back for the punishment she is recieving reason why I said this. She didn't want you to come except you are ready for marriage also she is more than willing to recieve any money you send to her. Guy smart up. She might not be pregnant.no evidence she is pregnant before she left your place .since you didn't mention.so I may assume she is not pregnant she is only extorting and she want you to pay for her punishment
3.why not visit her whether marriage or not.As a man your decision must be respected if they want you to marry their daughter why wouldn't they allow you to come and see her.. that means they are hiding something from you...if you can't lie that you are coming for marriage can't you atleast prepare some marriage paparazzi to ascertain the girl state if she is truly pregnant.provided you have not seen her that she is pregnant before she travel to see her parent. lipsrsealed undecided lipsrsealed
4.my advise is if you can't summon the courage to go straight to her family then how are you going to make a good husband. So go to meet her whether ready for marriage or not.... If they put the action on you then they should let you carry the responsibility.... This should be a great lesson for you.... Is better it happen now than to have happen after you have attain you clergyman dream.
Best of luck

It's a terrible situation and I can understand the shame and remorse that comes with issues like this but don't give up on your calling. Sometimes we go through the fire to learn and come out refined.

You have tasted sin and have seen the consequences of it. When God restores you, I believe you will be in a better position to resist when such temptation comes again.

For your child, it will be a grave mistake to abandon him/her because you sound like a responsible man so abandoning the child will haunt you alot.

Secondly, I know you haven't been thinking right but I will advise you to overlook whatever that family is saying and go-to that village with an elderly person before your baby mama puts to bed. One thing about igbos is that if you fail to do something On the mother, you will never claim your child.

That little money you have, send it to the mother quickly before she puts to bed to show that you care and also quickly make preparations to go visit her before she delivers as both of you have emotions flying here and there and not thinking straight over phone talk. Marriage is not an option now but you must go see them and explain your plight personally for them to understand...


The girl's family have shown to be unreasonable so I must warn you to be very careful and calculative. Is she a baby? Why the rape allegation and threats with police? They seem to be a troublesome family and that could be a red flag.

Lastly, your calling is still very valid... I fault these business centres calling themselves churches for treating erring members so badly. Even people of the world have forgiving hearts more than these so called churches.

Keep fellowship with God and keep the fire burning... Gather money and build on your skills.

When all these is over you will have a strong line of message and use the experience to know how to handle youthful exuberance among youths in your ministry.

Maybe your calling is geared towards youths and the dangers of youthful exuberance/fornication.... You are being prepared to be a pastor for the youths. This experience is paving way for you to understand your purpose as a minister.

Quench not the spirit.... Selah

Please don't blame the church/ theological school. What do you mean by forgiveness, every sin has a consequence even after you have been forgiven.You think he has not asked for forgiveness from God already?

There are rules which he was fully aware and he also knew about the consequences and they have told him the only way they would take him back is if he does the honorable thing, so you want the church to take him back just like that without trying to correct the error? You forget that the girl too was also a student.

There are actions and there are consequences for every action- his lack of discipline and self control brought him here, he has to pay the price, the lady is paying her own price too.

Don't blame the church, blame the guy and girl.

If the girl was in a nursing school (where everybody knows you can't carry pregnancy) would you blame the school, when it comes to church matter you want their standards to bend, its not possible , what example are you setting for others. 2 students of the same seminary college. angry

GUY, STOP ROAMING ABOUT PREGNANTING ROAMING GIRLS.



What beats me is how a lady would spread her legs wide for someone that can't feed himself let alone another human being. Y'all have brought another baby into this world to suffer. If you don't have the finances, don't even bother having an erection let alone sliding it in to someone's vagina.

Hmmmm. I'd advise we youths grow up and have self discipline. You can easily avoid some of these issues if and only if y'all don't cloud your thoughts with sexual images. It's not every chemical reactions you must give in to. Think about future effects

Your write up is somewhat long but I read every word of it cos I'm an avid reader and an author. Reading and writing is my life.
I'm also something else too...a chosen. Yes, I have the calling which I have been running from for so long. I hope to answer it this year or next, God willing.

Listen and I'll speak to your from experience and as one older than you.

1. You are very selfish.
2. You are destroying your life with your own hands.


Do you see your write up? See how many times you mention stuff like 'my life, 'my calling', 'my education', 'my work'. If I may ask, what about the life of the girl you impregnated and that of the child she carries? You are a poor church rat at the moment, do you even think marry you is her dream?

My brother, you are too selfish to go far in the business of God's work.
If it's God that really called you and not hardship or a desire to start a gold mine of a church of your own then trust me when I say that if you ruin that girl's life if will be like a dark shadow over your through out your selfish life. It will limit your glory and restrict God's blessings for you.

You have been very wicked to that girl.

Come to think of it, did it ever occur to you that you could marry that girl and leave her in her father's house till you are financially stable? Perhaps it's the catholic church you wanna join where priests do not marry, hence, marriage scares you so much that you prefer to ruin you life instead.

As a man of God by calling you will always find money-making and things in general very hard until you answer that calling. I should know.
Go and marry that girl then leave her with her parents and take your marriage certificate to your old school and finish your studies. They did give you marriage as a condition to continue right? And here you are running so fast from the solution?

I really feel like giving you a good beating not just to reset you brian but to level up the scores because it looks to me that the girl was seriously cheated in this matter.


Pls Note
All those giving you the advice of not marrying the girl because her parents are trying to force you to do the right thing don't understand Igbo tradition. It's a terrible thing for a girl child to get pregnant in her father's house. It attracts great shame and in some cases can be taboo. All those Igbo based Nollywood movies where the father drives the daughter out of the house for getting pregnant out of wedlock is based on real-life stories... Igbo tradition, which is very stong in Imo state *(my state).

That's girl's parents are desperate to save themselves and their daughter a lot of shame. That they still keep her with them shows great love.

Cheers!

You ruined her life when you confessed. Now she is expelled while you still have a chance to be a saint and further your education.

Hello Nairalanders,

It's a long story, but I'll try to keep it short and to the vital points. Please endure the length.

There's a girl i met at a theological college in where I was studying to become a clergyman and also learning a skill under the civil engineering department of the college. She was my junior in the course, as I was a year away from graduating from my first course, while she was just a fresher. She was always having issues getting through her courses and projects and would always ask for my assistance since I was the course rep in that department. It was forbidden to have any intimate relationship with your course mate or anyone in the college for that matter, the penalty would be expulsion. But unfortunately for me, out of sheer lust and seduction on her part, and gross indiscipline and lack of self control on my part, I got intimate with her and we ended up committing fornication during one of our semester vacations. And it just happened once, of which out of deep regret and remorse I confessed the matter to the college Admin when the next semester resumed. We were panelled, after which I was suspended, while she was expelled.

During this time I was learning a skill sponsored by the college, of which I use to get paid some weekly stipend. After I was suspended I was also stopped from continuing my apprenticeship, because I was not to associate with any of the students or lecturers in the school while my suspension lasted. So I was without a job and without a source of income since I wasn't yet mastered on the skill. The condition that was given to me to resume my studies and apprenticeship was that I should go and get married before I could come back to college, so as not to be tempted to repeat my error. But I wasn't ready for marriage whether financially or any other wise for that matter. So while I was contemplating my next move, this girl came to me that she was pregnant, that she needed us to go and see her parents. I told her I had no money neither was I ready to father a child at this point in my life. I pleaded she should give me time to think about what next to do. Two weeks passed, and I called her to enquire about her welfare but her number wasn't reachable, I decided to go to her place, but I was told she had travelled a week ago to go see her family. A week later, I received a call from a woman telling me she was the girl's mother, that her daughter came home with a pregnancy, and she asked me if I was responsible for the pregnancy, I answered her in the affirmative. She then asked when I was coming to see her family. I told her I wasn't sure about coming to see them that I needed to speak to the girl first. She said okay, then later that day the girl called me, and I told her to come back for us to talk deliberate on the way forward. When she came she told me her parents (who are by the way divorced) will not accept her nor the pregnancy without me coming to see them for marriage arrangements.

I explained to her I wasn't ready for any such thing, that I have a calling to answer and a course to finish, that what happened between us was just a stupid and careless mistake that has been as a setback for me to achieve my goal, and that I was ready to overcome the trials and get back on track, and I explained to her that before then I had neither dated nor been intimate with anyone for over seven years, and so any kind of relationship or marriage was not even in my nearest future plans, and besides, I didn't even have a job, not to mention having enough money to embark on a marriage plan. She said she would never accept such excuse, that I should look for whatever means to make sure I come see her parents before her pregnancy becomes obvious. She also said that she needed money to move her belongings back to Imo state where her family resides. I agreed to raise some money for her. I went to do some menial jobs and raised some money, about ₦20k, which I gave to her and she traveled back to Owerri. From then on her parents kept calling and pressuring me to come and see them for marriage arrangements. I told them I was going to come, but just to introduce myself to them as the person responsible for their daughter's pregnancy not for any marriage arrangements. But they disagreed, that if I wasn't ready to come for marriage that I shouldn't bother coming. I pleaded with them to give me enough time to look for money to come and see them, but they instead started threatening me with court cases and arrests, at one time they brought the girl and some soldiers to my family house and harassed my family members including my mother.

So I later traveled to Benin city to go look for money. After one week of my arrival in Benin, I lost my phone and I couldn't retrieve my number. I lost connection with them until I got back to Uyo where I got her phone number from a friend of hers. At this time, I was told that they came to my house several times with police officers claiming I raped their daughter and impregnated her then absconded. At this, I established contact with the girl again and she told me that I should not bother her that she wasn't in the mood to talk to me, I kept calling her but she often ended up abusing me or we often times ended up in quarrels, so I left her alone for sometime.

Two weeks ago I related the matter to one of my distant uncles, who advised me to gather some money and go see her, I called her and told her I wanted to come and see her before she puts to bed, which is expected to be sometime next month (August). But she told me that she still stands by what her parents had said, if it's not for the marriage issue that I should not come, that I should rather send her the money I would use in coming so she can use it to buy the baby clothing and buy some hospital requirements before she puts to bed. I called her parents and they told me the same thing, and said if I don't come for the marriage agreement before she puts to bed, that after she's delivered of the baby I should forget ever coming, and should never mention that I have a child anywhere not to mention coming to claim it ever in the future. And that I should just forget about her and the child.

The issue now is this, I am a bit frustrated because I seem to have lost everything at the moment because of this issue; my calling, the skill I was learning is gone, I have no job aside the menial jobs I do at construction sites which isn't available regularly. Now the little I have saved so far, I am contemplating on whether to use the money to pay for my skills training and continue with it and start my life afresh and forget about her, the child, and her parents, or use the money to support her in her hospital requirements for her delivery. Because I don't want to be seen as abandoning her when she is in this condition, and I also don't want to give up on the child, though I'm not capable of taking care of the girl and the baby right now, and probably, I might end up getting married but not under my present circumstances. I know I've made a grave mistake and this is the consequences for not being true to myself and my calling, and I deeply regret it, and I've suffered for it in any way I can possibly imagine, but I also need to put my life back in order, because right now I'm so devastated that I'm contemplating terrible alternatives to survive the storm, I'm at a very critical moment of my life and I just feel like giving up on life altogether. Please I need your help and advice on this issue. Thanks.

PS. Please if anyone is willing to teach me any skill, I would be very grateful and willing to learn.

Leave her and forge ahead. Use the money you have and complete your training. Once you are successful, the family will contact you themselves to come take your child. Focus on your studies and training.

This story long sha. You're really in a tight situation I advise u go and see them face to face before she puts to bed. If they see u , they may not overreact. Talking to someone on fone is really different from seeing the person.
If they still insist, go and get your professional certificate and skills first and make sure you keep calling her even if she insult you, u will have to bear it b bcoz, "na u cause this wahala for you self" And it appears u lack self control, try and deal with that. Anytime your pen!s stand @tension, just go bathroom deep am inside cold water e go relax by force. And that may save you from trouble!
Bros u see this family wey dey use soldier and police harass u sotie em say u rape their daughter. if u enter such family, u no go last for this world, em go use wahala kill you. Assist em with wat u have and leave the pikin for em. since u can impregnate her, u go fit give the woman wey u go marry belle. So just take it like u have sown a seed with this child. Keep supporting her and don't make the mistake of marrying someone that is already insulting u. she go use trouble finish Ur head. Flee my brother, flee... And start Ur life afresh. U fit still ask God if the calling still dey while u go about learning a skill.

It takes two to tangle. I am sure that gal wanted to trap him with the baby. she could have terminated the pregnancy without anyone knowing.

I know I've made a grave mistake and this is the consequences for not being true to myself and my calling, and I deeply regret it, and I've suffered for it in any way I can possibly imagine, but I also need to put my life back in order, because right now I'm so devastated that I'm contemplating terrible alternatives to survive the storm, I'm at a very critical moment of my life and I just feel like giving up on life altogether. Please I need your help and advice on this issue. Thanks.

PS. Please if anyone is willing to teach me any skill, I would be very grateful and willing to learn.
I read your story and I am quite impressed with your writing skills. You must be an intelligent young man with potentials. It is just a shame this happened to you.
I can see you are a good man (from your confessing to the school admin and to your accepting the pregnancy).
My advice is that, it is better you don't get married to that babe. I think she is not from a good home, (if they can't understand the situation on ground and had to resort to use of force and threats) they will give you a hell of a time in marriage. So don't!
Get yourself back on track first, send any assistance to her and the baby but get yourself back on track first.
WHAT MAKES A MAN IS YOUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE, if not bigger troubles await you.
Get yourself back on track, seek assistance where you can, because you definitely need help. When you are okay in future, you can come back for your child and they will accept you.
Get it together, be determined, be strong because you still have a lot of challenges ahead, unfortunately that's how the world is...
Lastly, how sure are you that you are responsible for the pregnancy? We're you the first man to sleep with the girl (was she a virgin at the point of meeting her?). Just be careful, your girls of nowadays are so wayward (likewise the young men too are very reckless).
