This story will leave your mouth hanging loose as it wraps up....

The girls could not forgive their dad. He even sold the empty plot of land that stood as their garden and left them with one plot and a house standing on it. At any provocation, he would threaten to sell the house and leave them homeless. 

One of them travelled all the way to his office from school one day, to tell him she needed house rent and pocket money, he refused giving her and she disowned him right there in front of all the staff. As the daughter walked away in tears, his colleague sent for her and gave her an envelope with her rent money. That was how she made it through her final year.


The mother tried talking to his elder brother who was a pastor. She went to his house to complain about all the neglect they suffered. That even if he didn't want her again, how about taking care of her daughters? Or just giving her money to re-establish her business. As she knelt down in tears to beg her in law to make him pay attention, she made the mistake of holding his leg. He quickly called the gate man to come and throw her out. She was asked to get a lawyer involved, she refused. She did not want more people to hear about her lie, as the church council had asked her to confess and apologise to everyone for misleading them; but she didn't. She was quietly removed from her office as a deaconess as a result of her not agreeing to confess.


She started a small restaurant business for corporate catering with which she was really trying. The girls would join her when they were on holidays, even going to their father’s head office to sell food. How embarrassing!! 

The girl abroad soon found love after graduation, with a Caucasian, got married and sent for her youngest sister. That relieved the mother. The other two finished and got banking jobs, and seemed to be doing pretty well. Their mother was soon relieved and even had the opportunity of going for omugwo in the abroad. Neither of them kept any communication Witt heir father. He also did not try to contact them.


In the interim, the boy child was in boarding house. His sisters loved him nonetheless. They pampered and showed him so much care. But, he would always want to go to his dad’s on long vacations. She never stopped him, especially because she understood the need for a father figure in his life. He did not like his step mum or her son who was about his age being given better treatment than him. He kept doing everything to get his father to love him more, but that love never came. 

The boy's school was less fancy, his clothes and games were never a match compared to his brother’s. If they had the same father, they should be treated equally right? Well the boy didn’t know. He kept trying to please his father wash the car, hand wash his clothes, make sure they are ironed, stay up late to wait for him when his step mum goes to sleep. But he could tell it was never really the same.

 He would complain to his mum, she would tell him that his step-brother was a few years older that was why. His self-confidence soon began to drop.


The night of his 18th birthday, his mum and two sisters in the country called him. He had just finished high school with good grades and was trying to convince his dad that he deserves to go abroad like his elder brother. They told him they have a secret they must disclose now that he is old enough. They brought out his adoption papers, and told him the whole story. They told him it doesn’t change anything but for future and marital purposes, he needs to know that he was abandoned by the roadside by his biological mother. His 'mummy' chose to have him and has loved him and has always treated him like an extension of herself. They asked him never to forget that.


Everything became clear to him, he was not his father’s biological son and his brother was. That was the reason for his father’s behaviour. He wept for days, wouldn’t eat, became sad and depressed. He left the house  to his father’s state. When his father got back from work he got confrontational about the issue. His step mum overheard and before his father could give a response, she jumped out calling him a bastard, a waste, a child with no inheritance, an orphan…. All sorts of unprintable names. 

He locked himself in for days and would later ask to return to his mum and sisters. This was even made worse when his father told him he would not be sending him abroad like his brother because he had no funds for such expenses. He was told to find a government university to attend in Nigeria.


As soon as he got back to his mother’s house, he took to drinking excessively with drug/substance abuse. She talked, cried, begged, prayed, pleaded. One morning after a reckless night, she left him an album on the kitchen table with a note saying: if you ever think no on loves, always remember that I do. In that album were his 5th birthday pictures. She did throw an extravagant party for him and afterwards, they went on tour around Europe – just the two of them. 

This was before the messy discoveries. She had hoped this would help him understand that he was never alone. By the time she returned from her outing, he had set the album ablaze just where she would see it. It was in ashes at her doorstep. She wept inconsolably. She got everyone to try and beg him to turn from his new ways, even sent him to stay with her sister for a while to get rid of his new friends. He took the in law's car out, wrecked it after a night of excessive drinking, and ran back to his mum for safety.


He made rough friends and soon joined a cult. One night he showed up asking for his adoption papers. He said he wanted to find his biological parents. She told him she didn’t even know who they were, that he was dropped at a junction with his placenta still on. That no one knew who they were. He gave her 24 hours to produce the papers. She thought it was a mere threat. Until the following night when he showed up with his friends, all with bloodshot eyes and marched to her room to scatter all her documents. She quickly put her maid in her car and ran to her friend’s house for safety 

 She prayed all through the night, begged God to grant her wisdom to handle it all. The next day her friend's husband followed her back home with some police officers for security. He was still at home as they slept off with some bottles of alcohol and papers allover the living room. One even had a visible gun in his pocket but she pleaded with the police not to arrest them.

She went to her room, brought out the adoption papers and in everyone’s presence she handed it over to him in tears. She read the state and location where he was picked up from and asked him to go there and possibly find his biological parents. She told him she was done and she can’t die because the man she tried to ‘keep’ by having a son is gone already. She told him she is counting her losses in life, her career, her husband and now a child she has loved from the day he was born. That she is tired. 

She told him maybe it all wasn’t God’s plan and she has accepted the blame for trying to force a happy ending that wasn’t meant to be. She asked him to find his happiness and said she would always pray for him. And that anytime he needs a mother, she will always be here. He took the papers, told her he found 70k somewhere in her room and he has taken that too. That neither her, nor her husband, nor any of their daughters should ever try to look for him.


This was 3 years ago. No one has heard from him till date. She regrets ever trying too hard to save face in her marriage, as now there is still no marriage. Her husband takes pictures with his new family and splashes all over facebook till date. The second wife stays living her dream life on social media. Her daughters are her only consolation

Oh! he married the second wife traditionally and legally. they never went to church, the first wife was never married legally
