NEW HOUSE GIST

This is a must read, dont miss it oh

Sdk family,  I de hail oooo,  On today's episode of my new house gist, it's about this salon I visited:...

  I took my daughter there to weave her hair, suddenly a woman walked in and was asking the other woman who was there before we came, she asked her why she stopped her business  (her okirika business), so she said that one Marakpor won't let them do their business in peace and  that she has been destroying all the road-side shops including hers...

The woman suggested another market,  she immediately rebuked her and said over her dead body will she sell at that market,  my antenna stood up and I quickly asked her why? (Because deep down in my heart, if I see money to start business,  na that market dey my mind because people de full there steady and most businesses there are thriving well..

 she now said hmmmm, that the level of fetishism in that market can make a camel pass through a needle,  God of Moses!! Na so I shout,  she went further to tell me how they bribe security men in that market at midnight to go in and bath in front of shops for ritual purposes, Ahhhhh , gave me too many examples including that of a young girl who they made blind just because she was good at her nail fixing business,  or is it the one they made mad? Or the woman they made to be screaming like an animal,  or the man they made to start destroying his goods because they turned his goods to harmful animals and then he thought he was killing snake and other animals in his shop, whereas na em goods he de spoil, or is it the woman that saw a dead goat in front of her shop,  she carried the dead goat away, without  knowing  that she was the dead goat, two days later she fell on that same spot, cried out like a goat and died.....

While she was still giving me this heart quaking gists,  the woman in the dryer said  "why are you looking far?, I was a victim of the evil going on at Ogbo-ogologo market,  it's more like a cult, majority of women there are involved,  when I started my business,  I was doing well,  I was approached to join the evil cult, I refused,  then my business was thriving so well,  then one day, my neighbour said I should give her 2k that they want to fix the zincs, I told her that I spent a whoopy sum of money fixing my own shop and nobody supported me even when I personally went to the chairman more than twice, I did my shop myself,  so why are you people urging me now to bring money because your own shops suddenly started leaking,  to God, I no talk pass like that oooo,  then the woman said, ''so you're this selfish because you're selling well and I am not? It's alright,  we shall see, I was here when you came and I will be here when you will go, that's if you don't leave as a corpse''

I didn't take her serious,  I thought it was just the normal women blabbing and then two weeks after,  something like ant stinged me in my house at midnight,  I didn't take it seriously,  by morning,  I tried to get up, but couldn't,  Ahhhhh what's happening to me? That was it ooo, suddenly I became a cripple, I would poo on myself if there's no one around to attend to me,  I weed on myself severally,  but the funny thing there was that I kept selling the things I have in my shop , I auctioned everything,  sold the shop, spent it all on treatment,  yet nothing happened,  no improvement,  even after  almost  2yrs, thank God  for  a supportive  husband and kids:

One morning,  I crawled out of my room to view outside as usual,  and I saw my compound kids throwing stones at this drunk man, I yelled at the kids to leave the man alone, the kids ran away but then the man turned to me and was walking towards me,  I wanted to run but I couldn't lift any part of my body, so the man came close and said,  "just because of 2000 naira wey you for use bail yourself but your mouth no gree, now they have killed your legs in the coven,  I will help you so you don't die but you must never go there again, I started crying,  I didn't know if I should take the drunk mad looking man serious or not, then he told me he'd return and then he left....... 

I couldn't tell my husband about my encounter with the drunk man,  cos I felt he won't come back again,  so I didn't want to raise our hopes for nothing,  so I kept the gist to myself, I also didn't remember any issue about 2000 naira, my mind no near there because it's been a long time ago,  so after like one month plus, it was around 7pm in the evening, this man came,  looking so dirty and smelly,  my husband opened the door to see who was at the door and this man followed him inside, I recognised him immediately,  my husband wanted to throw him out but I asked him not to, my children were so scared,  so the man saw me lying down on the mattress as usual,  he brought out this dirty looking cup and rubbed the cream-like content on my legs,  then he faced the wall and said  "the person that did this is the couple selling foodstuffs at your left in your former shop, they want you to suffer and die, but you had done good to one of their members and she pleaded on your behalf,  they all agreed that you must bail yourself with 2000 naira,  which you refused and then they struck,  it was an avoidable mistake but your mouth no gree you''

 I didn't utter a word, I was just crying,  all I wanted was solution,  he then asked me if I want to return it to the sender,  I quickly said no, that I just want to be alive and fine for my family and God should please fight for me,  that was it ooo, the man got up and left, he didn't collect anything,  by midnight I started feeling my veins and leg somehow,  by morning I could stand and then slowly I started to recover and today I can walk with my both legs, I never went back there neither did I fight,  I left it all to God,  that woman and her husband are still there, doing well, 

 I don't know how they do it but I never went back to confront them, as for the drunk man, I have never set my eyes on him again till date"

 When she finished narrating this story,  my mouth was wide open, infact right now, I am feeling fearful and feverish,  this city is hot eziokwum

Is this what goes on in Market places? God abeg ooooooo

.INSIDE THE MIND OF A WOMAN GOING THROUGH MOTHERHOOD




I just found two shelter homes In Lagos for abused women and children and I am immensely impressed like “what!! an OMG!! Moment”. Words can’t describe how glad I am about this.


I have been stalking their social media handles and I love what they do. The environment is serene and the way they go out of their way to help the women get back on their feet is amazing.


I am glad when I see people go out of their way and comfort zone to be a blessing to their world. I do the little I can but would also want to do way more in the future, I have big dreams of owning such homes too.


I believe the best thing you can do for the next generation is to raise them with utmost care and love. Helping them get out of toxic homes and dysfunctional system will go a long way in ensuring the cycle of abuse is broken.


Every child deserves to be loved.

God bless them, its really not easy rehabilitating abused and damaged people....
