STAND ALONE MARRATIVEADDICTION:...
Hi Stelz,
I hope this meets you well. Don't mind my typing errors ooo.
I am in such a bad and terrible state right now. We are orphans, I and my big brother but mum provides everything we could ever need. My brother is addicted to tramadol.
It all started in the year 2014, my elder brother was working on the Island and doing very well for him self, we were proud of him and he was one hell of a cute guy but one day he came home and told us he was sacked from work.
I, my mum and my step-dad asked what led to his dismissal but he just told us a story and mum welcomed him back home with open arms.
One night, mum called and told me that something happened to him ooo, when I got there I was told he had seizures, I was like seizures ke. Mum is a good Christan so she took the matter as a spiritual attack, she became a prayer warrior and I saw my mum emaciate greatly due to prayer and fasting.
Three weeks after the first seizure attack, he had another. Mum was crying thinking her first son was going to die but after about 10 minutes of violent jerking, he became conscious again then I started suspecting epilepsy but this is a guy that has never had epilepsy before so that thought died. Remember he wasn't working again so mum was responsible for his upkeep and pocket money. Whenever we suggested we take him to a hospital he would decline saying he knows what is happening to him.
We received a call one day that he had fallen down at the bus stop. Chai! see shame but we went there and carried him home, it was that day he told mum that tramadol is the reason for all that's happening to him. My pity for him turned into anger immediately, mum was crying me sef forming strong man joined her crying then my brother promised he was going to stop taking tramadol. Mum decided to help find him a job, he got the job but after a week, mum received a call from his boss asking why she brought someone with epilepsy to his hotel, he had another seizure there. That was how he lost that job.
The seizures became a regular visitor to my brother every 3 weeks, he became a shadow of his former self, so lean and even started to wear my clothes because he had no clothes again. We all begged him to stop even my mum and step dad but he wouldn't bulge and this started causing quarrel between my parents.
My mum smiles and tries to behave that every thing is cool but deep down I know she isn't happy. She is filled with sadness knowing that her first son has turned to a problem and source of concern to her.
Please anyone reading this taking tramadol should
stop oo because the after effect is so bad.
This is his number 090********, l am not asking for anything from anyone but someone should just call him to tell him mum loves him so much that if not for anything but because of the sacrifices she has made and being a widow at 24 and having to do many kinds of job for us to survive. He has brought her lots of pain and tears. #our case is different.
*I took out the number,I dont think it is a good idea to expose him to strange phone calls.
Please if you are reading this and can help her brother fight the addiction,please drop your contact in the comment section,I will enable it for her to be able to contact you.
Good luck
Awww this is really sad
ReplyDeleteI really pray your brother gets all the help he needs here.. The devil is indeed working in so many ways these days. Searching for good, young souls to destroy.
Please helpers should locate him and help him in whatever way they can. It's well with you guys by His Grace, Amen.
You are in my prayers
What is tramadol?
DeleteWhat is tramadol?
DeleteTramadol is a narcotic-like pain reliever. Tramadol is used to treat moderate to severe pain. The extended-release form of tramadol is for around-the-clock treatment of pain"
DeleteIt's harmful when used carelessly!
Tramadol is an opioid analgesic, meaning it is very addictive. Dear poster, your brother is most probably addicted to it, reason he is unable to stop and the seizures are side effects of excessive intoxication.
DeleteMy suggestion: please take him to any Neuropsychiatric Hospital. Aro is a good place, they have very good rehabilitation plans. I know this cause I am a Psychiatric Nurse and I work there
Poster visit yaba psychiatric quickly for help
DeleteNigerians and spiritual attack are like twins
DeleteSomeone has a problem instead of first instinct to be hospital you start fasting
Fasting for what exactly
And poster sorry for your pain but biko there are no orphans with mums and step-dads
I feel sorry for you but I also do not feel sorry for people with your type of reasoning
Please take your brother to a rehab and stop stressing yourself
It's a pain med o. Use it when I have cramps.
DeleteThis poster story is similar to the one that happened last year in school at my hostel, the guy went to fetch water from the tap and fell and started having seizures, I thought he was going to die oh, everybody was praying for him,unknown to us that the guy took over dosage of tramadol on an empty stomach and even after this seizure he still continued taking drugs, that is somebody will die because he wants to get high.
DeleteThe more seizures he has, the more his brain damages. Take him to a psychiatric hospital fast if you love him
DeleteMy sister use to take this tramadol for cramps.
DeleteSomeone bought a higher mg for her and she took same dosage. She almost ran mad. That was how she stopped.
Anon 16:07, you didn't read where he said he refuse to go to the hospital and he didn't tell them what was wrong with him initially?
Dear Poster, he needs therapy can you get him registered in a psychiatric facility? i go for therapy as well.. mine was as a result of depressive disorder, trust me i feel better.. he needs close surveillance..
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThis tramadol thing has become like an epidemic among the youths. t has become their weed and cocaine. Its really sad.
DeleteAnd its not just tramadol, they also take codeine and some others.
I pray God sees your brother too. Maybe you guys can try to convince him to also go for counseling. It might help.
POSTER, YOU ARE NOT AN ORPHAN!!!
DeleteYou have a MUM and STEP-FATHER!!!
Thanks for the info,have once taken tramadol in the past because I heard it helps give good sleep,never knew it has such a terrible side effect. Good luck to ur bro,don't worry he will be fine.
ReplyDeleteThe Berry... so u too dey take tramadol.. no wonder
DeleteNo vex oooo what is tramadol? They should take him to LUTH where they can wean him off his drugs. Chai what a pity.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that. You wrote you are an ophan? And I saw mum, step dad and you and your bros. Dont worry, God will heal him. He should be in the hospital
Google is your friend!
DeleteTramadol I take when I have major ulcer attacks, nawa o. God please heal this young man. Can't you guys take him to rehab?
DeleteTramadol is a drug , but become dangerous when mis-use. Them dey d same level with codeine ..
DeletePoster take your brother to hospital so they can help him get better he will be fine ..
Kai island .. Worst place to train a child , it jus takes d grace of God .
Awww this is sad.
ReplyDeleteHe should be taken to see a professional, there's only so much prayers can do and addiction doesn't just go away. Staying away from it too is easier said than done because his body will revolt once it's not getting that which its used to and I think that's why he gets the seizure's.
Addicts also need to be watched almost round the clock till they recover so they don't harm themselves or others. Getting him a job for now should be on hold till he takes care of his addiction.
Probably why he has nothing even after working because he spent his money buying drugs.
Please let him see a professional ASAP.I'm sure he isn't happy himself but he can't help himself either.
Tramadol is also a common abused drug in the north.
I will go anonymous on this post. Addiction is so horrible. I was once on narcotics drugs (though legally given to me by the doctor). I was on admission in the hospital, had an accident and the drugs also helped to relax n sleep. It got to a point I was the time keeper for the drugs (it is addictive). After a few days I personally started rejecting the drugs because I was getting addicted to it. Your brother needs help pls take him to a psychiatrist or some authority in the field.
DeleteFor years I worked as a doctor in Nigeria and I must say that doctors have a share of blame in this; the way this very drug is prescribed.
ReplyDeleteAnd until Nigeria takes the step to make prescribed drugs unavailable over the counter, the problems persists.
Even Ghana and togo; little countries have done that.
why is everything in Nigeria so difficult?
OMG! Exactly! This is a PRESCRIPTION pain killer and not an OTC drug! Naija which way???
DeleteEven Ghana and Togo wtf? What has a country being too little to do with anything? Some of u are so disrespectful. Isn't it even easier for smaller countries to cater for the needs of their citizens than bigger countries? smfh
DeleteThank you. Tramadol is not an over the counter medication.
DeleteShould be at the disposal to the public
Without a proper prescription.
Anon, countries like Nigeria know better and should do better. It is not disrespectful. Biko take your vex to another place
DeleteIt is actually not an OTC drug and most big pharmacies will not sell it to you without a prescription. It is gotten from dishonest pharmacies who want to make a quick buck and don't care if you kill yourself with it. Appropriate agencies need to crack down on them
DeleteWhat caused him to take the tramadol in the first place cos i know its a pain killer yes? I hear of people getting addicted to pain killers but never read the effects of the addiction. This is so sad. You guys need to get him rehabilitated.someway,somehow. Prayers can work but action needs to be taken to.
ReplyDeletePs- @Eka joy i notice you like yarning dust under my comments. Ive been ignoring. Please cease and desist. SP today was not the first neither was it the second time.
Abegggi forget! 3xtrinity. If nah you dey for that Dp you fine oh.
DeleteHmmmm
ReplyDeleteEleyi gidi gan
Egwu di
Why did you say you are orphans
ReplyDeleteI don't get
You have a mum and a step dad
what do you call that pls
May God help him
Me sef got confused with the orphan part...
DeletePoster, you are orphans- but I see "mum and step dad".....pls explain how they relate to you?
DeleteDon't get why she said they are orphans...don't also get how it is shameful for one to get seizures...There is nothing shameful about being sick. ..
DeleteIn a country where folks can go to a shop; grocery or patent medicine dealer and buy as much of tramadol and other prescription drugs as they want? What do you expect?
ReplyDeleteLook at an illustrious soul being rubbished?
Nigerian legislature and and law enforcement agencies should cover their heads in shame! In every other country I know, prescription drugs cannot be bought over the counter. Nigeria is bringing shame to herself as a country.
The legislature is only good at allocating resources to themselves and "padding the budgets" to effect that.
Please you have not travelled the world then, didn't I buy tramdol in Asia, where they were even begging me to buy more. Okay ooo
DeleteWhen did Asia become a country?
DeleteAsia keh?
DeleteAsia na continent nah
I thought you said you were orphans..
ReplyDeleteThat's what I read too???
DeleteTramadol addiction is a huge problem to lots of youths. A family friend lost his son last year to Tramadol and doc, cute young boy that was doing brilliant in school. It's been red flagged by NAFDAC but greedy drugs stores still stock and sell it as exorbitant Price to these Young lads. Please lets all be watchful. Use other good pain killers, if you must. #tramadolisdestructive
ReplyDeletePoster pls get your brother to the nearest psychiatrist...to help him with the addiction, Teach ing Hospitals will be the est option. He needs all the social support system available too. All the best..
DeleteI had to quickly google tramadol and it's effects. Tramadol in itself isn't bad, what's bad is taking the wrong dosage, taking it with alcohol. It'll become a stimulant if it's taken wrongly.
ReplyDeleteThe issue of drug and it's harm when taken in its wrong dosage cannot be overemphasized. Your brother has become an addict to it and it'll be very difficult for him to get off it except Professional help comes to play.
I can understand the frustration from your parents especially your step dad but I don't think anyone takes drugs just because they want to. There is always a reason to it; peer pressure, trying to feel 'good'.. Just get professional help adjust prayers
BTW, you are not an orphan
Say no to drugs!
ReplyDeleteYour bro really needs to stop before he dies of overdose or he falls and hits his head on a hard surface. I feel for your mother
So people cant get jobs because they're epileptic? Nawaa..
ReplyDeleteCha! The devil is a bastard this story is similar to that of my neighbor his a graduate but tramol won't let him be. Only God can heal him.
ReplyDeleteAnon 15:12 chai you no well at all. See me laughing. You are just stupid
ReplyDeleteOrphans? Guess that was a typo. Are you male or female? The narrative got me confused at a point.
ReplyDeleteI think you guys should take him to Yaba, prayers and tears have their role to play and so does medical attention, which yaba or any drug rehabilitation facility will give him. Calling him and reminding him of your mother might send him into a deep end. God forbids he thinks of suicide as the way to end his troubles.
I don't why I can't hold it. Just apologized to my colleague over some little issue we had the other day.she like a friend and aunt to me but this my stubborness no dey gree sometimes, had to apologize today meeeh come see tears like say person die untop to say sorry. Don't know what to do about this teary eyes of mine but I never see person wey I apologize to wey no gree... Abeg make una no mind me jare
ReplyDeletePoster abeg sorry, your brother needs help
Drugs?
ReplyDeleteI've taken tramadol many times but it was my doctor that gave it to me. I even took the injection sometime last year. Its the best pain reliever but it has side effects. When u take a dose, it will make u sleep for many hours. Then when u wake up all your pains will be gone but you'll feel dizzy and weak. You won't be able to stay on your feet for long cause you'll be very weak. This weakness can last for a day or two.
ReplyDeletePoster your brother needs medical help!
It is good this topic came here , our youths are so into it for reason of being high. High for what? Sex? I see girls especially indulge in it like mad tomorrow na enemy cause am dem no fit conceive
ReplyDeleteHeiiii.I have a friend that's addicted to tramadol too. I don talk tire. He goes everywhere with it and pops it anytime he's nervous. Let me forward this to him. It's a pity about your brother my dear. He needs to see a therapist and possibly be taken to an institution that takes care of drug addiction. Na wa o.
ReplyDeleteAccording to you poster, you are an Orphan...but your mom is still alive....What does that mean? I don't understand.
ReplyDeleteYour brother still needs to see a Doctor even if he feels the problem is the tramadol
ReplyDeletetramadol! there was a time one stupid doctor gave me the drug and told me to be taking it 2 tablets morning and night, I became a zombie until i went back and complained that I dont know what is wrong with me that she asked me to stop it.
ReplyDeletewhen I had injury on my leg that was what I was taking and the injection also from the hospital because according to the doctors ulcer patient cannot take strong analgesic and I know this is true.
I stopped taking it once i got better.
but recently a doctor prescribed a mild pain relief for me and it works for me.
It is well with your brother.
Wow! I never knew the side effect was this bad.
ReplyDeleteIt was actually prescribed to me to treat severe dysmenorrhea but it wasn't strong enough to relieve the pain so I was given an alternative high pain killer.
God help him.
I really feel sorry for you and your family. God will intervene but he needs to be counseled and rehabilitated
ReplyDeleteI really pity your brother, calling him to tell him mama loves him is not enough, show him pictures and touching stories of how many people have gone mad, some even dead watch him closely show him love don't be to harsh on him, drug addicts don't stop immediately it is gradually so be patient and prayerful the Lord is your strength.
ReplyDeleteLong live SDK
My dear. Go to a professional or LUTH where they can take him to rehab for him to come clean but he needs to make up his mind that he needs help..Tramadol is a silent killer, it will gradually destroy his kidneys and liver..Take a proactive step today and also back it up with prayers as well..
ReplyDeleteWe live in banana or kangaroo republic, certain drugs shouldnt be sold unless a form or letter of prescription is issued and also confirmed by the doctor before being sold. Nigeria has a long way to go..
Some take it as a sex enhancement drug, others for pain relieve. Once you mistakenly take it along with alcohol, it gives you a 'high' effect that if you start craving it can turn you to an addict. He alone can't solve it, he needs professional help.
ReplyDeletesorry to deviate. i just got shocking info from a reliable source that hubby getting married to his mistress come end of April, in court. preparations and all that is going on right now. we only did traditional and church marriage.
ReplyDeletepls my fellow bevees and lawyers in d house, can i fight back? i heard she will gain more ground than i when she is wedded in court. i am so shaky right now. i don't even know how to confront hubby when he comes in tonight. i know he has been cheating but not this far. i have a daughter and our 3rd wedding anniversary is next tomorrow. i need to be enlightened. Thanks.
What exactly do you want to fight back for? I don't understand. A grown ass man had chosen to be (I don't want to insult your husband), what can you possibly do to stop him? Though it would be nice for lawyers to weigh in if Nigeria has any law against this. I would suggest you tell him what you know and ask him what he intends to achieve by marrying wife no 2. Does he want to eat his cake and have it? Involve your families hopefully his famity is not in on this if not na OYO things. I hope you have a source of income though thankfully it's only a kid you have. Men can be wicked sha.
DeleteMadam, if you don't mind just let him go. I don't know why he is leaving you but you can't force or fight a man who wants to be with another woman. It will be a fruitless fight because even if you won you will not be happy. So madam, I beg you let him go.

DeleteJezz!! And you're this calm? You better start going to his and your own relatives to stop him. Even the woman involved, my dear act mad. Very mad ooo.. Ha,the Lord is your strength!
DeleteOgini di ifea?
It depend on the church you got married in, cus if it's a catholic church, their certificate is as good as a courts' and you can present it before a court... Just find out the court he intends to wed in and present it, I just hop he dint hide it, use this night to look for it
DeleteThread with caution so u don't drive him into another woman's hand.
DeleteAnons 19:00 The man is in another woman's arm already, so she need to fight & pull him out of the woman arm. Mbok, madam wake up ur husband by 3am have a hrt to hrt talk with him, then Talk with of his close siblings Trace the lady discuss with her if she refused to back off then beb is time to fight dirty don't allow a fellow woman to push u out of ur home or share ur position, the kingdom of God sufferth violence &ONLY the violent taketh it by force. Madam fight for ur marriage unless u are a coward or u don't want the marriage again, call ur family &his family, if he is a civil Servant let him know that you will report to his office that's if he didn't severe any relationship with the girl including the marriage plans.if you have to go spiritual Is allowed ooo cos you are fighting for ur right. Being a single mom esp in dis part of the world is not easy so don't allow any man make you 1 without ur consent. Kapish. Email me for more details.
DeleteWow!!! Find your marriage certificate and present it to the court where he wants to wed! Courts always give a period of two weeks to the public to flag any reason why the marriage should not hold.
DeleteContact the mistress and let her know she is threading wrongly!
Bring in both your relatives and his own relatives, plus the village heads if necessary.
But before you start with all these plans, get a huge chunk of money from him or sell something valuable in the house if you don't have money of your own. In case he still goes ahead or if your plans backfire.
I wish U good luck!
Talk what,i hope u have savings or a job,if not,start laying your hands on valuables in the house before they throw u out! Let him know u already know what he's upto,ask him where it leaves u and ur child! I'm sorry for ur case,but you have to start equipping yourself now to face the future! U need a plan B o
DeleteThank u all for ur advice and concern. I will do the needful. God is watching.
DeleteAnonymous 15:12, nawa u oo. Tramadol, pple take it as a sex enhancer too. That's why youths abuse it so much. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteThe one my doc gave me us till at home. I fuse to take when I read the side effect on the Internet.
ReplyDeleteDear poster all your brother needs is a rehabilitation. Addiction is not an easy thing and it takes time to cure such people but believe me they get well. If you are in Lagos try yaba psychiatric cos its strictly 100% tolerance from drug presently they are on strike but you can visit for procedure.
ReplyDeleteDrugs has done more harm than good to people, especially the wrong/excessive usage. Let him mingle more, pray for him, help him see a psychologist and get good counsel, show him all the love he can get, till he gets out of it. May God heal him perfectly
ReplyDeleteYour Brother needs a professional help. He wouldn't willingly go with you to the hospital so you have to devise a mean to take him there else the problem will continue.
ReplyDeleteMay your parents not lose him to this terrible addiction as I know people who are specialised in helping addicts will contact you. E-hugs dear.
Please, the answer isn't prayers, what he needs is rehabilitation. Nigerians should learn to understand that not every issue is spiritual. Your family should search for a good rehab centre were he can be checked in to and monitored for 6months. I prefer a place close to home. It's going to be a bumpy ride but by proper care and therapy, he will be fine. Our legislators are the laziest set of people. The bill to prevent certain drugs bought above the countered she should passed and enforced. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
ReplyDeleteThis is almost like the story of the lazy guy whose sisters and parents kept helping him. Make una leave nobody should give him a dime! Tough love, embarrassing himself round town brings no shame to him, then cut him off simple. Have an intervention before you guys cut him off, give him a choice. It's either he goes to rehab or he is kicked out and cut off. Enough is enough!!
ReplyDeleteThis is really sad, counselling will help alot.
ReplyDeleteTramadol is very bad when it's been abused... my neighbour takes it to d point that he had to be sacked from work which was paying him 90k per month... he talks out of point now n still can't stop taking it... I just tramadol but different other med he mixes.. if u see him now ehhhh.. everyday everyday sa sa prayer for him...
ReplyDeleteTake your brother to the Synagogue. I know all lot of commenters here don't like TB Joshua, but he is a true man of God. Very soon, I'm going to send Stella my own chronicle about how I got healed in his church.
ReplyDeletePlease send your chronicle. People need to realize that TB Joshua is a true man of God and stop listening to lies spread by evil people.
DeleteTB Joshua is not a true man of God.
DeleteHe is a glorified Babalawo.
Queen is that you? 😉😉😉😉😀😀
DeleteTb joshua glorified babalawo
DeleteU want to kill u Bro abi, wen dere are desperate girls on dis blog, wey no dey use ear hear fine and. Cute. Boy, issokay, carry ur Bro for deliverance, 7days fasting, he go dey alright
ReplyDeleteWhat dos deliverance got to do wit him... what he needs is to come to term that the drug is bad for him n he has to stop... no be everytime prayer person need to pray...
DeleteTrolling beb thanks for helping write
DeleteHelping me
DeleteChai sorry oh, i feel your pain and that of your family, but please your brother needs help, you people should look for a way to take him to see a good doc where they can treat and counsel him, God bless your mum
ReplyDeleteI hate it when I see first son this. .first son that...Girl..nobody deserves to die..even if they are the 20th child..Nigerians take this first son thingy too serious...

ReplyDeletePlease let your brother visit the hospital. He will be giveen some drugs to control the seizure I wouldn't want to mention the drugs here.but at least he will be better.
ReplyDeleteThis is really sad.your brother needs all the help he can get now than ever..please your mum should take him to any good Rehab for drug addict before it becomes something else.
ReplyDeleteThen back it up with prayer.please don't give up on him.This journey is going to be rocky but with dedication and strong Zeal as a family.una go overcome.it is well
Pls take your brother to see a professional psychiatric and a counselor. He needs help asap.
ReplyDeletePhone call? Lol. Jokes! Take him to a rehab facility fast. As in FAST
ReplyDeleteOnce again SAY NO TO DRUGS. Na from clap them dey take enter dance oooh. Nothing is to harmless to destroy your life. So don't underestimate anything.
ReplyDelete*is too
ReplyDeleteSEND YOUR BROTHER THE LINK TO THIS POST SO HE CAN READ. IF HE CONTINUES TO TAKE TRAMADOL, HIS LIFE WILL BE RUINED. DOES HE PREFER BEGGING TO HAVING A COMFORTABLE JOB? HIS CHOICES ARE COSTING HIM HIS FUTURE. LET HIM SIT DOWN AND THINK OF WHERE HE WILL BE IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS IF HE KEEPS TAKING TRAMADOL. BY THEN, EVERYONE WOULD HAVE MOVED ON AND BECOME SETTLED AND HE WILL BE A HAGGARD AND DEPRESSED ADDICT IN HIS MOTHER'S HOUSE. IS THAT WHAT HE WANTS?
ReplyDeleteLET HIM USE HIS BRAIN WHILE I STILL WORKS
Anon 16:07 are u being serious ryt now?? They talking something serious you making a fool of yourself by acting like u are a correction fluid. Can you speak or Type English? That's the issue with us always looking for mistakes or how to condemn others when the issue on ground is a serious one. At this point are you suppose to care about his use of words?? Sounded like rehab is one minor thing. I wonder where you left your conscience you sorry specimen in human form. My dear brother this is enough to get you and your entire family very worried but not to worry all hope is not lost something can still be done. Him staying home for now won't be bad if it's something your family can afford take him to a different location. Friends might also be influencing him so a Change of environment is in order.you can also use the advice of a doctor or better still take him to a rehab if there is any around you. Do not forget that God is supreme in all there is no situation too big for him. He remains God. You are in my thoughts and prayers.#bewell.

ReplyDeleteI I can help him but I'm not in Lagos I'm in ogun state
ReplyDeleteSeizure could be caused by a lot of factors. A recurrent pattern seizure is tremedy epilepsy. It is not something that one should be stigmatized against at all. A lot of people have epilepsy Which is well controlled and they live even more healthy live and you and me.
ReplyDeleteIf a seizure isn't controlled and is protracted it can cause damage to the brain and body. You sound educated, so act like it. The church has It's purpose, so those the hospital, bedroom, restaurant etcetera..Please take him to a hospital, let this epilepsy be investigated and stop blaming one innocent being or creature that you are not sure exists biko! Tramadol may/not the cause, getting a thorough investigation is the key.
Madam, it depends on the church you wedded. If its catholic or Anglican church, the marriage certificates are equivalent to that from the court so your husband will be committing bigamy if he marries another in court. The second marriage will be invalid and the court will not wed him once they see your marriage certificate. If on the other hand it was in one of these new generation churches then.....
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't you do a court marriage? The problem with some women is that they don't dot their i and cross their t. When you advise them to cover the legal aspect they will tell you "I don't plan to fight with my husband" forgetting that the husband is one aspect, they may also have his family to contend with if anything goes wrong.
You can find out the court they plan to wed at and go and report that you are married to the man. Usually, the court will paste the names of the man and woman before the court marriage date (just like banns of marriage announced in church) to give anyone that has an objection to the union to step forward with evidence.
Involve his family to intercede if they are on your side. All the best.
