IN HOUSE MEMO

*************************************************************

INSIDE THE MIND OF A WOMAN GOING THROUGH MOTHERHOOD.




I was a weirdo growing up, one of my earliest memories is from my nursery one, I remember leading friends to a deserted corner of the school and showing them a spot, I told them the proprietor buried a juju pot there and we proceeded to dig it out.

I kept digging juju pots all over the school on several occasions, we were never caught and my parents thought all my gist were just from an overactive imagination till I started to tell them things about our church members too. My dad would make sure all the invited deliverance ministers that came to the church conducted several deliverance sessions for me . They all told him nothing was wrong with me, so he let me be.


I just had this strong instinct then, I saw the world different and didn’t hesitate to tell people, this led to several beatings, in one of the school I attended, my friends and I were talking about the little mermaid cartoon and they said it was make believe, mumu me went on to explain how it was not necessarily make believe and how marine spirits exist and how one can access such portals through animal blood sacrifice.


We were just eight years old, the next day my friends parents were in school, shouting at the school owner, wanting to see the witch that told their innocent kids about animal sacrifices. The school owner made sure I was beaten till all my backside was covered in bruises and till I left primary school at ten, no one was allowed to play with me or involve me in things like inter House sport or school dramas.

She would ask teachers to call me out randomly and flog me. I hated my life and has a child I was depressed, I disliked her for so long but now as an adult I understand her. She shouldn’t have battered me, she knew my parents were clergymen and ran deliverance ministries .I was just saying things I heard and picked up from adult conversation and read in deliverance prayer books.


I couldn’t tell my parents about what was going on because I feared they would think I was possessed too. My mom and I weren’t so close at that time. After my tenth birthday an incident involving a neighbour who had been collecting my lunch money for a year, the said neighbour insisted I must start do her chores too. Something in me snapped and I went to my mom and reported myself and all I had been going through.

She was shocked and pained and she helped me put a balance, she taught me the importance of not just blurting out things I saw or heard from adults, she started to watch what I was reading.

Though she and my dad didn’t stop telling me things that would put me in trouble like “ don’t play with Sade, she is highly possessed” then when I see anyone with Sade I repeat the statement, it would go round the kids in the neighbourhood then Sade and her friends would give me small beating and collect my lunch money for months in exchange of their silence.

I suffered no be small, when it comes to my kids, I would like them to know they can tell me anything and they have a friend in me. I would also watch the things I tell them. As much as I want them to share the same religious beliefs, whatever I tell them must be age appropriate. Some knowledge or information are just too much for a child and they don’t have the emotional intelligence to handle it.

Imagine telling a six year old that her favourite aunt is a witch. I don’t want my kids growing up confused like I did.

Response to Chronicle of 17/01/22

Dear Blog Visitors,


For more than a century, Christianity rode roughshod on the various African Traditional Religions. Schools and Churches serve as programming centres, where as children, we are taught that the medium through which our forebears communed with Chukwu is diabolical. Under this constant barrage, we grew to despise and dissociate ourselves from anything that links us to ịgọ mmụọ.


But, here we are today!


Before I continue, I would like to point out that in this day and age, it amounts to the highest level of naivety, to automatically consider anyone who doesn't identify with your chosen religion, as evil. I mean, we are different races, different tribes, different tongues, why do you expect to have a one true religion?


Stop the prejudice.


Chukwu is Chukwu, no matter the names you prefer to use and how you choose to worship.


Dear Poster,


Your story elicited my deepest sympathies because I've been where you currently are, spiritually. Afraid of letting go of all that I was raised to believe, and even more afraid of delving into Ọdịnaani Igbo. I truly understand and so I'm being fair by saying you're not ready, yet. If you were in the presence of the Dịbia I suspect you (from your description) to have been and you bring your questions here, then you're truly not ready. Perhaps ịfe-uwa drove you there, and you had no time to be logical about things. Mana ụta amarọ gị.


I believe it would serve you well, if you do the ịchụ-aja and other rituals recommended to you. No real Dịbia anywhere in AnaIgbo would ask for human sacrifice. Bear in mind though, as becoming born again doesn't stop all of one's problems, same applies to following Ọdịnaani Igbo. Also, if you're looking for shortcuts to making money or to tie down anybody, I'd advise you to go back to church, because the consequences of doing so in Ọdịnaani are grave, and the judgement swift.


Let me stop here for now.

It is well.... Thank you for replying....
