The Mistake Of My Life by pencil143(m): 8:21am On Mar 01, 2017 |
PART 1..
22nd June 1989″ ‘6:30am’ I
woke up from sleep with a very
terrible headache, while hunger
and fear occupied the rest of my
body. Nnamdi who was lying by
my side instantly coughed,
startling me. I rubbed my eyes,
got up from bed and smiled at
little winnie who was sleeping
peaceful on her cot. That fateful
day was my 19th birthday, but
instead of being the happiest day
of my life, it brought great
suspence, fear and sorrow with
it. It was equally the last day
Nnamdi, my boyfriend and also
little Winnie’s father gave me to
pack out from his room. Our
relationship suddenly turned
sour when i got pregnant for
him. He never wanted me to keep
the baby, but i refused to
terminate it leaving him with no
choice than to accept
responsibility,when my parents
threw me out of their house. I
was in SS3 when it happened,
while he was just a struggling
brick layer and a motor mechanic
apprentice. We both were from
poor backgrounds which truly
worsened everything. I was then
left at his mercy, and out of
frustration he never allowed a
moment to pass without
reminding me of the hardship i
was causing him and how
unlucky i was. Those were the
moments i felt like killing myself. I
admit i made a terribly mistake
by having unprotected sex and
getting pregnant for him, but
harming my innocent baby was
what i really couldn’t do. I
managed and struggled with
determination until i gave birth
to my little girl on 21st december
1988. Nnamdi on his part
grudgingly supported me by
providing the little he had which
he never did without
complaining, but the love and joy
my little girl brought into my life
sustained and gave me hope. As
soon as little winnie was born,
he gave me six months to leave
his house. At first i thought it
was one of his numerous
careless comments, but as June
slowly drew near, he began
singing it almost everyday in my
ears. Leaving me confused,
demoralized and unhappy. It
really wasn’t as if he was
spending much on us. I only ate
twice daily while little winnie
survived on my br.east milk and
few ‘Tins’ of baby milk concerned
neighbours especially our land-
lady do give us. The previous day
{21st June}, he almost strangled
me simply because i begged him
to allow us stay few more
months with him. I had no
money on me, nor family to seek
because to them i was good as
dead. Not even when i took little
Winnie to them months after she
was born did their mind change.
I murmured some prayers as i
awaited my fate, wondering
where to go, when he eventually
wakes up and throws us out.

MISTAKE OF MY LIFE
PART 2
Nnamdi soon woke up, ignored
my greeting, washed his mouth
and left the house without a
word. I was terribly scared
because of the way he looked at
me. I knew it was just a matter of
seconds before he kicks us out
of his room. I sobbed quietly as i
lamented my fate. “My mates are
all with their parents, enjoying
their lives and planning for a
brighter future. Here i’m
suffering like a refugee” i
reasoned with tears. “only if i
had listened to him months ago
and terminated my baby, i
wouldn’t be suffering in this
manner” i said to myself bitterly.
But deep down in my heart i
equally knew i rejected to do his
bidding because i couldn’t bear
such guilt which would have
been terrible and unbearable.
Winnie’s loud cry soon calmed
me. I quietly carried her, changed
her napkin, breastfed and sang a
lullaby for her. He came in that
moment eyeing us. “have you
packed all your things?” he asked
coldly. I swallowed hard and
stared at him pleadingly. “please
don’t do this to us” i begged,
“we are already managing well,
i’ll start a trade very soon” i
added. He scratched his head
uneasily and again eyed me
murderously, “do you call this life
eeh? Abeg shut that your dirty
mouth” he barked, before
grabbing all my clothes which he
dumped inside an old large bag,
fetched winnie’s things and
equally dumped them in it. “here
is two hundred and fifty Naira
{N250} it’s your transport fare to
your parents house, i have tried
enough for you, i won’t kill
myself doing it mtcheeew” he
muttered and threw the money
at me. Tears instantly fell
uncontrollably from my eyes, i
had no where to go. I was
doomed, I dropped winnie on
the bed, knelt and begged him
“please Nnamdi, please” i begged
again and again, but instead of
my pleas to calm him, it
infuriated him tremendously. He
slapped me hard, grabbed the
bag and threw it out of his room.
“i will do the same to you and
this baby if you don’t leave
peacefully” he threatened. I
stared at him heartbroken, and
hungry, cursing the day i granted
him access to my body. The story
of my love life with Nnamdi really
is a long one. An affair which
never should have happened in
the first place had i ignored my
heart, because he really had
nothing to offer me, yet i
foolishly fell in love with him. A
very stupid teenage love affair
which i now regret. Love dosen’t
work in an empty stomach,
neither does it work in an
unsecured environment. Nnamdi
wasn’t in love with me any
longer because circumstances
changed and he only saw me as
a burden to his miserable life. He
totally ignored winnie’s cries, my
pleas and our neighbours
preachings as he pushed us out
of his house that fateful morning.
A day i was supposed to be
happy because it was my
birthday. *** WATCH OUT FOR

PART 3
THE MISTAKE OF MY LIFE
My dear stop crying and think
ahead, crying over split milk
dosen’t make any sense” our
land-lady advised as she led me
to her apartment. “my life is
useless i feel like dying” i
weeped, “my dear stop mocking
God, he alone knows the reason
he kept you alive, so don’t be
ungrateful” she cautioned. “i
however think you should leave
your bag with me, return to your
family and see if they will accept
you” she advised minutes later,
after i had calmed down a little. I
cleaned my eyes and stared at
her with prayers in my lips. “i
pray they do, if not i’m stranded
and doomed” i murmured with a
broken spirit, knowing fully well
the kind of parents i had. Only
divine intervention could make
them change their stand. But I
had no choice than to try my luck
once again. I trekked from
Igbariam to Nnaji-nwede street
where my parents resided,
carrying Winnie with me. I
couldn’t afford using public
transport that fateful morning,
because i needed to make good
use of the little money i had. :::::
Mum was the only one at home
when i got there, making me
relax a bit as i rested in her shop
which was just in front of the
house. The fire in her eyes died
as soon as she saw me, tears
quickly formed in them as she
stared at my weak body. “nne”
was all she could mutter, while i
swallowed hard with tears in my
eyes. Other mothers would have
reached out and carried their
daughter’s child who equally was
her grand daughter, but she
didn’t, instead stared at us with
pity. Even though she never did
support dad’s harsh treatment
towards me, she equally never
condenmed it, perhaps because i
had five other younger sisters,
whom they needed to protect by
using my punishment as a lesson
and example to them. “mum help
me please i have nowhere else to
go, Nnamdi threw me out of his
house this morning” i sobbed
and knelt by her side with little
winnie in my arms. She breathed
deeply, scratched her head and
stared at the ceiling. “have you
eaten today?” i heard her ask.
“no mum food isn’t my problem”
i replied with tears. “i have beans
let me get some for you” she
murmured, left her shop and
went into the house to get a
plate of beans for me. She
returned with it, dropped the
plate on a small stool, and
reluctantly carried little winnie, so
that i could eat properly. ____
“please be quick with it, because
you have to leave before your
dad shows up, i don’t want his
problem today” she urged. Her
comment really broke my heart,
but i was already used to such
comments. I rushed up with my
meal, washed my mouth and
thanked her. “now you can leave
abeg” she murmured and gave
me fifty naira, “use it to buy
akamu {pap} for your daughter”
she added a bit coldly. I closed
my eyes out of pain but tears
refused to fall out. “mum i have
no-where to go” i reminded her,
but all she did was just to shrug.
“it’s non of my business you
aren’t our responsibility
anymore, if you have any case, do
present it to your father please
and not to me” she replied
nervously. Leaving me once again
lost, confused and hopeless,
“how can i face dad when mum
is behaving like this” i wondered.
I had hoped with time that their
cold behaviour towards me will
reduce, but instead of reducing,
it only increased. “anwúómú ööö
{i don die} here comes your dad”
mum exclaimed as she sighted
him from afar seconds later,
instantly pushing me out of her
shop. I stood outside and waited
for dad defiantly, with a broken
spirit and winnie in my arms,
“whatever will be, will eventually
be, let it happen now” I said
myself as i waited for him to
finish me.. ************ KINDLY

PART 4
MISTAKE OF MY LIFE
“Good-day DAD” i greeted
fearfully as he approached me,
but he simply gave me a terrible
look, spat and shook his head,
“you are no daughter of mine,
you are a big disgrace to my
family, just look at yourself and
what you have done to your
future” he muttered with an
angry tone, walked into mum’s
shop cursing angrily. I was
extremely disheartened and
downcasted. “dear lord open up
the earth and swallow me,
please” i knelt and cried. People
passed by and watched me
silently, some laughed, some
murmured inaudible words,
some scoffed, some sighed in
pity, some shrugged and cursed
my parents, but none came
forward to help me. Not even my
younger sisters. By 4pm that
fateful day, i returned to my land-
lady’s shop with a broken spirit
and a weak body. There were
tears in her eyes as she saw me
walk in. She quickly offered me a
chair before giving me a plate of
rice. ‘Oh i really would have died
that fateful day if not for her’. I
can never forget all she did for
me. Our land-lady fondly called
Mama Joy by everyone who knew
her was a very kind hearted old
woman, who managed to raise
her three children all alone with
the little profit she made from
the small street corner “food-
Joint” she owned. Her husband
{our landlord} was just a well
known drunkard and gambler
who spent all the money he
made from his old house,
drinking and gambling. He really
made‘pool promoters and
agents’very wealthy with his
stupidity. Mama Joy was thus
forced to fight for her children
alone, perhaps that was the main
reason she felt and understood
my plight. “don’t worry my dear,
i’ll talk to Nnamdi when he
returns this evening, i really don’t
understand men nor boys of
nowadays” she assured me as i
ate with a broken spirit. “what
will i do if Nnamdi refuses to
listen to her” i wondered
fearfully, “perhaps mama Joy will
allow me work for her” i
reasoned with a dry smile, “but
where will i be sleeping” i asked
myself sorrowfully. I really was
very worried as we waited for
Nnamdi to show up that fateful
day. But to my extreme surprise,
he came home by 9:30pm,
dragging a young strange
woman who looked like a LovePeddler
with him. I was broken hearted,
dejected and in tears. Mama Joy
simply shrugged and held me.
“that’s some of the things we
poor women face in life, don’t let
it bother you” she calmly advised.
But something deep down told
me i had lost Nnamdi forever.
The little hopes i had were
dashed that moment.

PART 5
THE MISTAKE OF MY LIFE
what do i do now?” i sobbed
uncontrollably, “nothing my dear,
absolutely nothing” mama Joy
calmly replied and held me.
“where do i lay my head tonight?
Where do i go from here?” i
asked unhappily, “my dear, do
trust in God he alone has control
over our destiny, don’t give up”
she calmly advised. But i really
was very heart broken and
scared, because i knew i was lost
in an unfriendly world where my
own family rejected me. “my
husband really won’t tolerate you
staying with us, but i hope you
can manage my store {storage
room}, it’s very spacious and
there is an old mattress in it” she
said to me as i sobbed. I instantly
looked at her hopefully, i never
expected her to help me further,
thus my delight and happiness as
little hope fell on me. “you can
stay there till you get a better
accomodation, you can also
come work for me in my
restaurant and make small
money for yourself, at least with
it you can make better plans for
your future. I just wish i’m a rich
woman, i would have helped you
more” she murmured. “oh don’t
bother ma” you have done more
than enough for me, something
my own mum couldn’t do” i
answered gratefully. ______ That
was how i found myself under
Mama Joy’s care. I slept in her
store at night and worked in her
restaurant during the day. I
worked tirelessy as i tried to
discard my sorrows and earn
something decent for myself.
Nnamdi never for a day lifted a
finger to help me nor ask of his
daughter’s welfare, even though
we do see each other everyday,
Instead he continued making me
jealous by bringing different girls
to his room. His actions hurts me
alot but i pretended as if i didn’t
care. I held my pride, suffered
silently and never begged. Three
months i suffered and toiled
under Mama Joy’s care, until
September when a good looking
middle aged woman who
patronized her restaurant came
into my life, offering to help me
raise my child. Her sweet tongue
and behaviour really convinced
me of her good intentions that
without second thoughts, i
accepted her help against Mama
Joy’s reservations. A week later I
moved into the woman’s house
without giving it a second
thought. Little did i know that
misfortune awaited me. KINDLY

THE MISTAKE OF MY LIFE
PART 6
Mady was the name, everyone
called my new helper and she
really was a lovely woman to
behold. Her grand beauty was
very spectacular and solid. But
upon all the beauty and air she
carried she still remained
unmarried, which i found very
strange.
I really wasn’t surprised to see
lots of young girls in her house
when i moved in to live with her,
because she told me she was
running a non governmental
organisation which cared for
homeless street girls, but i never
imagined she could be so rich as
to own a giant two storey
building, a thirty room quarters
{built like a hostel} and another
small bungalow all fenced
together in one big compound.
Three 504 salon cars and a
mercedes 200 adorned her
garage.
I couldn’t help but notice that the
girls who lived under her care all
idolized her, because she was
friendly to all with her sweet
mouth.
“i started from the streets but
now i own all these” she said as
she showed me round the
massive compound, while I
smiled happily, thinking i had
finally gotten to the land flowing
with milk and honey.
I was later introduced and
handed over to a girl called Ona,
whose work was to help,
educate and make me look good,
while Little winnie was taken
away from me and handed over
to an old woman whom they
called mama nurse.
“She will be better of in our
nursery” the old nurse had
assured me as she carried my
little girl, but I still insisted on
seeing the nursery, which after a
little hesitation, she led me to the
extreme end of the main house,
through a hall-way and into a
large room built underneath.
Cribs, toys, and clothes of various
sizes adorned the room making
it look beautiful.
“you see your little angel will be
properly cared for here, just keep
thanking Mady, she really cares
for you girls” she murmured
with a smile, while i shrugged
and said nothing.
The nursery truly was a paradise
to behold, compared to the store
i used to live with my little girl,
yet it looked very creepy to me,
making me a bit scared.
However i paid no heed to my
feelings, thinking i felt
uncomfortable because it was
the first time winnie was leaving
my care….
But i was very wrong. |

THE MISTAKE OF MY LIFE
PART 7
Mady sent for me later in the
evening.Ona led me to see her,
leading me directly to Mady’s
room. A well furnished spacious
room adorned with beautiful red
curtains and a goldstar colour
T.v. I couldn’t help but feast my
eyes on the beautiful things
surrounding me.
Mady was comfortably sitting on
her bed when we got there. A
newspaper resting on her laps,
making her look like a female
military administrator.
She smiled as soon as she
noticed our presence and
nodded to Ona.
“thanks for bringing her, you can
now leave us” she said calmly to
Ona, who quickly obeyed and left
the room.
“come sit here my dear” she said
to me, pointing to a small chair
facing her bed. I nervously
obeyed without a word.
“hope you are getting
acquainted with your new
home?” she asked curiously,
examining me with her eyes.
“oh yes, thanks alot, you are so
kind” i replied gratefully.
“Ona did a good job with your
hair. I like your new look” she
said smiling, while i blushed.
“anyway i invited you here for
something important. I really
can’t wait till tomorrow because
you know time is money,
moreover i will like you to sleep
over what i have to tell you” she
said slowly, keenly observing my
reaction. I nodded calmly, my
heart beating furiously. I couldn’t
imagine what could be so
serious for her to invite me by
that hour. 10:30pm the wall clock
in her room displayed.
“i invited you here because of
your daughter winnie. I will very
much love to adopt her. She’s
very cute and i promise she will
have the best life can offer.I will
give you #200,000''she said. A
cold shiver ran through me.That
was a huge amount,i reasoned.At
least with that,i could start up
something.But i beheld my
daughter's image and shook my
head.
''I cant accept it ma,i want to be
with my daughter"i replied.
"Go and think about it.and talk to
me tomorrow.Remember,you
dont need the child now.you
dont have anybody to take care
of you.you have to move on with
your life as a young girl that you
are"she finally said and
dismissed me.
__"#200,000!?,ona exclaimed,you
are lucky.the other time,she gave
blessing 100,000 to have her
child"
I was suprised at what ona said
and i asked"where is the baby
now?"
"nobody knows"she replied.
''and where is blessing now?"i
asked
"Few days from now,you will
start doing what she is
doing.you have to survive.use
what you have and get what you
want"
Her explanation baffled
me.prostitution?God forbid.Over
my dead body.That night,i didnt
get enough sleep,i was looking
at the time to know when it will
be dawn,so that i will go to mady
and demand for my daughter
and leave this place.I know God
wont reject me if everybody
does.
But do i think i would get back
my daughter so easily?

*THE MISTAKE OF MY LIFE*
PART 8
I knocked on Mady's door thrice
before she opened it.I greeted
her.she yawned,looked at the
wall clock hanging on the wall.it
was 5.45am."How was your
night?"she asked.
"fine"i replied.
She made to usher me in,perhaps
to hear me tell her'yes,i will
accept the offer' but i was
reluctant.She noticed and asked
if there's any problem.
"I want to see my child"i told her.
She looked at me intently as if
she didnt know it was i.After
much staring,she told me that my
child is with the nursery mistress.
"Where do i find her?"i asked.she
said nothing.All she did was to
walk into her room and come
back with a little bag.she handed
it over to me.
"This is the money we talked
about.take it and leave.i have
taken your daughter as mine
already.Go and get ready with
the rest girls,you are going on
your first outing with them
today?"she said and shut the
door.
"Noo i dont want your money.i
need my daughter.I dont want to
stay here anymore.Give my my
daughter so i can leave"i kept
shouting as i hit the door hard.I
threw away the money.I can
never exchange my winnie,the
first fruit of my womb for money.
I was still there when three hefty
men came out from nowhere
and ordered me to keep quiet.i
refused.One of them gave me the
hardest slap i ever received since
i was born.I had no other choice
than to keep quiet amidst sobs
They locked me in one room.I
knew mady ordered them to do
that.I cried bitterly.I prayed to
God to hearken unto my cries for
i know i have sinned.I cursed the
day i slept with Nnamdi.I cursed
the day i met him.
Throughout that day,i was locked
up with no food nor water.I
became very weak.
It was around 10pm that i heard
the door open slightly.Ona
creeped in and signaled to me to
keep quiet.she locked the door
and gave me the food she
brought for me"I saw what
happened.i have been looking
for a chance to bring you
something but i found
none.Please eat the food fast
before mady finds me here''she
whispered.
After eating,she told me that
mady locked me up so that i will
die of starvation.Ona said mady
has killed countless girls in that
manner.I was really surprised at
this that i gave out a loud gasp.
"But because i found out you are
a nice person,i decided to help
you.I put something in that
''three men's'' drink to make
them sleep.I want you to
escape''She said.I was really
touched with this kind of
kindness.
"But how do i escape without my
daughter?"i asked.It was then
Ona told me that my daughter
has been taken away.She gave
me some money,led me carefully
out of the house and bade me
safe journey.
"Thank you so much,Ona.God will
bless you"i said as i left.
I looked into the darkness of the
night with a great fear,not
knowing where to go.I
wondered if i could survive that
night and if i can ever see my
daughter again.

THE MISTAKE OF MY LIFE
PART 9
I headed into the darkness of the
night.I was filled with fear as i
knew not where to go.Ona gave
me her telephone number.I
blamed my parents for
abandoning me in the first
place.How could they be so
heartless.They care not about
what happens to me because i
got pregnant.Despite the fact
that i pleaded and begged them.I
pitied other people who were
blessed with understanding
parents.If i had aborted the baby
as Nnamdi told me,they wouldnt
have abandoned me.They
wouldnt have even know i was
pregnant at all.But the
consequences may be
disastrous.Firstly,sinning against
God double inorder to cover one
sin committed.Secondly,i may
never get pregnant again.
I decided to accept my fate.I
searched for where to lay my
head that night.I saw an
uncompleted building and
moved in.I prayed earnestly for
God's protection.I remembered
my daughter and wept bitterly.I
thought of mama joy and
concluded that i will narate my
ordeals to her the following day
when i eventually find her.
In the middle of that same night,i
heard footsteps.I curled
up,listening attentively.They were
coming into the uncompleted
building.My heart started beating
faster,i heard their voice,they
were men.A cold shiver ran
through me.
Then entered and saw
me,immediately,i saw them bring
out their weapons.Guns,axes and
cutlasses.They were six in
number.I was able to count them
because one of them shone a
little torch towards me.
"i mean no harm please.dont kill
me"my voice was shaky.
"Who are you and what do you
want here?"One of them barked
and pointed the torch at my face.
"Nneoma?"I was shocked as i
heard him call my name.He called
me again."Is that you?" At this i
nodded while still looking at his
face to find out who he was.I
finally got it.
"Prince"I called him.Prince used
to be my classmate until i got
pregnant and stopped school.I
used to help him his class work
and assignment back in those
days.During exams,i wrote
answers in piece of
paper,squeezed it and threw it to
him.
"Dagger,you know her?"that was
the question his members
started asking him.I kept looking
at his face in disbelief as he
nodded his head in
affirmation.He told them to keep
back their weapons.
That night i slept at his place.He
told me to sleep on the bed
while,he slept on the floor.
When it was morning,i narrated
my ordeals to him. When i got to
my escapade with mady,he
breathed heavily,lowered his
head and looked at me for a very
long time.I was suprised when
he told me that he's mady's
agent and that he can help me
get back my daughter because of
the things i did for him back in
school.
There was a knock on the door.is
it mady? Has she discovered that
i escaped.has she come to tell
prince to find me with his men?
she knew she would be in
trouble if i escape.
Prince hid me under his bed as
he went to open the door.

THE MISTAKE OF MY LIFE
PART 10
Prince opened the door and
behold,it was Ona. I made to
come out from my hiding but i
decided to stay where i was,to
find out her mission.
She was panting."Dagger,there is
problem. A girl who refused to
play along with mady has
escaped. Mady is on her way to
this place to tell you to mobilise
your boys and search for her.
This is her passport....."
I Peeped and saw her bring out a
passport. I knew it's my
passport. I saw prince stare at
the passport. Shaking his head.
"Please dont hurt her when you
eventually find her. Rather save
her life. The poor girl is just
helpless and innocent. The baby
under your care to be sold to the
ritualists is hers. I gave her a
number to reach me..."On
hearing this,i came out from my
hiding.
"My daughter..my daughter..."that
was all i was saying. Ona was so
shocked to find me there. Prince
told her what happened and
added that i used to be a good
friend of his back in school.
Prince told me that he would
help me on one condition,being
that i must tell nobody about
mady and the kind of business
she does. I agreed and he made
me swear. I wondered why he
was trying to protect the evil
woman. Perhaps they are all into
the business together. The same
doom awaited them.
He arranged a room for me in a
distant hotel for the mean time.
He brought my daughter to me
that very day. I was so grateful to
him and Ona. Perhaps he decided
to help me because how good i
used to be to him back in our
school days. Even Ona. Another
Godsent i dont know how to
repay her but i know God will see
her through somebody.
Prince gave me a huge sum of
money to travel to another state
and start life afresh. I owed him
alot. I never got any information
on what transpired after prince
and ona saved me. I didn't also
know anything about Nnamdi's
whereabout. Even mama joy and
my parents. But i knew and
believed that i would see them
again someday. What gave me
the greatest joy was my winnie,
my daughter.
.
.
.
.
I struggled hard to further my
education and train my daughter
in school too. After everything,i
graduated as a lawyer. I got
enough money from my clients.
My daughter was living a good
life and doing well in school too.
I bought a car and owned a
house. God really blessed me
after many years of hardship.
An idea struck my mind to visit
home with my daughter to know
the situation of things.
But i never knew what awaited
me back home
