All of a sudden IGBO WOMEN are trying to debunk being wicked…. 90% of y’all are evilllllll.

I lived with my father’s cousin, I literally turned to bone…. I lived in fear, I was scared to eat or move my body, I woke up at 4am daily and slept at 1am the next day.

I was older than her kids but I get to pick the last when things are shared or I do not get a share at all, na why meat pie making Dey traumatize me, na that last flour wey bakers dey throw for pan wey I dey chop, I didn’t get to involve in treats, I don’t get to eat noodles with them, I also had to babysit.. my routine.

  1. Wake up at 4 and prep them for school.
  2. Take them to school and make sure to be home before 7:30 as she leaves for work.
  3. Take care of the baby until she sleep
  4. Clean everywhere, wash toilet, clean kitchen and start prepping lunch before they return.
  5. Bathe the ones I can and allow the boys bath themselves.
  6. Force them to eat and spend the rest of my evening making sure I shout and gather all the papers they tear because if she finds any on the floor when she returns, I go chop ceramic plate for head or body.
  7. Prepare dinner, water for her bath, and the kids, make sure I eat after everyone has eaten, make sure the house is cleaned to the brim before I sleep at 1am.
  8. Get someone (her first son about my age) not allow me sleep because he was molesting me.
    (Me report ke?🤣🤣🤣 the day I summoned courage and told a mature neighbor that confronted her, I chop better beating wey blood pour eeeh, say I dey accuse her son) so I took the battle upon myself to fight the boy every night…. I literally sleep half sleep because of fear.
    I still loved them, I still nurtured the baby, she was so healthy and didn’t like even her mom feeding her but me, at 6 months plus, she had started walking… she never fell ill….. I was super careful with her.

The baby dedication they did, I wasn’t allowed to come out, na one of the pikin sneak food come give me..

I had so many times the daughter took blame for my error in exchange for my Sunday meat and she never got punished.

I remember one time I was exhausted and the baby woke up and crawled out…. 😩😩😩😩 I nearly disappeared.

My sister came to visit me, cried when she set her eyes on me and swore never to leave me behind…. I felt like I was going to paradise because I couldn’t say I wanted to go and was praying she never leaves me, what if she didn’t take me away and I got beaten for saying I wanted to go???

I was accused of being possessed because I always smiled when I was being beaten to a pulp… no tears.

I was taken to a church for deliverance and pastor said I wasn’t possessed 🤧🤧🤧

This woman still had the guts to come to my village to request that I return, that I take good care of her kids…

Auntie MABEL, God will p[[[unish you shaaa.
