My story goes thus, sometime 20 years ago, I was naïve and influenced by peer pressure. My dad was and is still a strict disciplinarian,mum on the other hand was a bit soft on us and let us have our way. She practically covered for and took sides with me especially (being her only daughter amongst 3 sons).I got out of hand and starting moving with the wrong set of friends, got pregnant at age 11 (primary 5) and then my whole world crumbled. The harsh reality of life began to unfold as I had to drop out of school, I couldn't sit for my First School Leaving Certificate Examination(FSLC).
People
in my neighbourhood made mockery of me my dad couldn't bare it, so he
sent me out of the house and I had to go to the village to live with my
grandma. In order to survive and fend for myself (as grandma isn't
working) I had to summon courage and face my own devil, I knew I was the
cause of my predicaments and didn't put the blame on my mum or anyone. I
started street hawking selling all sorts ranging from tapioca (kpokpo
garri), roasted pork meat, roasted maggots, Madiga bread, sachet water
etc.
Few months later I had my baby,saved some cash (through hawking) which I used to re-enroll for my FSLC, I passed with a "merit".
Still in the street hawking business, I saw myself through secondary school, I was determined to show my folks that I truly regretted my actions and is now a serious child. Enrolled for WAEC cleared all my papers likewise my JAMB and then gained admission into the university.
When my dad saw how focused I had become, they took my child and I back, sent me off to the university and took care of my baby.....

To
cut the long story short, I'm now a M.ed holder from the University of
Lagos State Akoka, a successful teacher and happily married by His
grace. My son is currently a 200Level Law student. Strangers thinks he's
my younger brother because the age gap between us is so close, and he's
growing taller by the day.
My son is my
life, he's the reason I am where I am today as his presence into this
world made me a responsible individual. He's my victory story, he knows
what I went through and is determined to make me a proud mum
Mind blowing! Thank God for u. I loved that you dint give up on urself!

ReplyDeleteStory that melt d heart
ReplyDeleteStory that melt d heart
ReplyDeleteI wonder why some low life idoitt will sit in front of computer to type rubbish and judge people. She made mistake and turn her life around. You are there saying she got pregnant at 11. Tufiakwaa and that idiott saying shame on her. Senseless bitchesssss
ReplyDeleteI'm glad she made it. Mums need to learn from this story. Don't take sides! it ruins your daughters future. Nurture them well!
ReplyDeleteThe support network you have like your grandma and your loving parents who came to give you the second chance save your butt. Better to learn from instructions than through experience, anyway kudos to your parents and granny
ReplyDeleteLol,funny comments...... I no go say much o,but never stop thanking God. U owe Him everything.
ReplyDeleteWhoever impregnated her at 11 commited a crime..she was too young n naive.sum girls r being exposed to sex even at younger ages...rape znt only wen its by force but also wen its with an underage.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the deal with some people?? Like as if she said "wowza I was so proud to be pregnant at 11". Take the positive of the story and stop being so judgemental. Gosh I can't deal
ReplyDeleteI know this girl very,@ 11 we were in secondary school not primary & she wasn't pregnant then this obviously is not true,wrote jss3 exams together & she had no child then,in fact I know am reach house then
ReplyDeleteShe probably already had the baby then and you didn't know. Didn't she say she went back to secondary school? Abeg haters park well.
DeleteReal happy 4 u lady!
ReplyDeleteThe village ur dad sent you to really helped you. Believe that
ReplyDeleteThis lady made a mistake early in life which she accepted she did, but didn't let that mistake define her entire life, this is highly encouraging for people who have made grievous mistakes and wanting to overcome... You are a star dear and God bless your courage.
ReplyDeleteWhat a story! Very motivational. It means i can be what God proposed for me, only if i believe without doubt.
ReplyDeleteMy gosh! You story is amazing but i just cant wrap my head around the fact that someone pregnanted an 11 year old child! I hope it was your primary school mate that did same oo or else na rape oo! And i weep for our people. The girl had to suffer and people on this blog Are still judging her till today as wayward? She was just a naive little girl what of the one who pregnanted her? He obviously had a normal life because he was the 'special and untouchable gender called a man' mtchhhhheeeew. Backward country
ReplyDeleteSee all this stupid judge judys, am proud of u girl!!! Pls inspire oda pregnant girls nd teens nd let dem know a mistake shld not end thier lives! But 11 yrs tho! Wow u were a pregnant baby
ReplyDeleteMuch respect... nobody is above mistake...what about your son's dad? Anyway some men easily deny pregnancy but above all you u were a strong woman... am happy for you.... remain strong.
ReplyDeleteReally amazing...so much to learn from dis
ReplyDeletethank God for your life. Linda see to that case
ReplyDeleteI suspect rape. Someone must have abused this child at some stage which led to her discovering the sweet world of sex. Good thing you retraced your steps. God. Less your son.
ReplyDeleteAmazing OK,,!!! Nothing encouraging about this unless you was raped. What should you be thinking at age 11 if not to play with toys afterwards. Pls keep this story for only you and family.
ReplyDeleteIt takes the grace of God for someone who passed through such situation to come out better and strong. People should stop judging her. It's her past and its not like she's proud of it. She is sharing her story so people can learn to keep hope alive in whatever situation we find ourselves
ReplyDeleteI wonder why this anonymous couldn't show his/her useless face in all his/her comments.I know is just one particular fool hinding his face in other to talk rubbish.I suspect the victim or someone close to her. Any how you like take it, this story is not whorth telling my children period. You re free to abuse yourself again under anonymous.
