– Golden Chiamaka Achu Wrote<\/p>\n

All of a sudden IGBO WOMEN are trying to debunk being wicked\u2026. 90% of y\u2019all are evilllllll.<\/p>\n

I lived with my father\u2019s cousin, I literally turned to bone\u2026. 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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t get to involve in treats, I don\u2019t get to eat noodles with them, I also had to babysit.. my routine.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wake up at 4 and prep them for school.<\/li>\n
  2. Take them to school and make sure to be home before 7:30 as she leaves for work.<\/li>\n
  3. Take care of the baby until she sleep<\/li>\n
  4. Clean everywhere, wash toilet, clean kitchen and start prepping lunch before they return.<\/li>\n
  5. Bathe the ones I can and allow the boys bath themselves.<\/li>\n
  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.<\/li>\n
  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.<\/li>\n
  8. Get someone (her first son about my age) not allow me sleep because he was molesting me.
    \n(Me report ke?\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23 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\u2026. I literally sleep half sleep because of fear.
    \nI still loved them, I still nurtured the baby, she was so healthy and didn\u2019t like even her mom feeding her but me, at 6 months plus, she had started walking\u2026 she never fell ill\u2026.. I was super careful with her.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The baby dedication they did, I wasn\u2019t allowed to come out, na one of the pikin sneak food come give me..<\/p>\n

    I had so many times the daughter took blame for my error in exchange for my Sunday meat and she never got punished.<\/p>\n

    I remember one time I was exhausted and the baby woke up and crawled out\u2026. \ud83d\ude29\ud83d\ude29\ud83d\ude29\ud83d\ude29 I nearly disappeared.<\/p>\n

    My sister came to visit me, cried when she set her eyes on me and swore never to leave me behind\u2026. I felt like I was going to paradise because I couldn\u2019t say I wanted to go and was praying she never leaves me, what if she didn\u2019t take me away and I got beaten for saying I wanted to go???<\/p>\n

    I was accused of being possessed because I always smiled when I was being beaten to a pulp\u2026 no tears.<\/p>\n

    I was taken to a church for deliverance and pastor said I wasn\u2019t possessed \ud83e\udd27\ud83e\udd27\ud83e\udd27<\/p>\n

    This woman still had the guts to come to my village to request that I return, that I take good care of her kids\u2026<\/p>\n

    Auntie MABEL, God will p[[[unish you shaaa.<\/p>\n
