The Black Baby Market
Aside Posted on
As I sat down on the brown wooden chair,facing the Hp laptop in front of me, I wondered why this idea had not struck me, before.
I had being sitting in this room for four days now. I have taken my bath five times now; eaten ten times; visited the toilet 8 times.
I must finish this book i am writing before 4p.m tomorrow. When i started the story on my laptop i did not how know to help people understand why this people did what they did.
I looked at the mirror yesterday and I saw that my eye-bag was full but what can I do.
So, I took the Letter I wrote six days ago to the D.P.O and will start with it.
Dear sir,
I thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to get this laptop.
It is a great thing you have done.
I want to thank you,also, for not agreeing to my advances the other day,who knows, maybe i would not have had opportunity to think of this now.I was so desperate that I could not face the reality of what I have done. I want to give my appreciation to the police for helping me get every member of my company,who were also involved in the crime.’
Thanks alot.
Paula.
Yes! That was a good one to start with.
As I typed this I remember the events vividly in my mind-every details of the events, mine and the few stories of some of our clients.
——+++——-+++———-
About 14years ago,I lost my husband(or should I say my first husband),Micheal. He was the most caring man I have ever seen.Living with him,I would say, destroyed my mentality about life,because he was rich and caring.
I cried my eyes out,people condoled me and told me to take heart but the most painful part of it all was that i was not able to give birth to any child for him before he died; be it still-birth or Living child,boy or girl,no miscarriage nor were there missing of my periods.
For days,I was so lost in thought of losing him that i did not remember that his family were still alive.
Three days after the death of Micheal,his mother-whom I had called immediately after his death-came in with some members of their family.
At first,I was happy that i would have someone to condole me; someone to tell the pain in my heart ,how I feel about his lost,I mean someone who is going through the same situation and pain as I.I do not want those people that will say.
‘I feel your pain’,
when they actually feel nothing.
I ran to greet her,leaving our pastor and his wife who were condoling me and my (two) friends who were also there with me.
‘Mama!’,I wailed,’ Micheal have left me alone…He left me oooooo’.
‘Shup up!’,Micheal’s mother screamed, ‘you witch, you killed my son because of money…You have killed my only son’.
she fell on the cushion and rose again as she rushed to attack me. I was taken aback.I opened my mouth in surprise to this false accusation,and only regained my sense (only to lose them again) when the blow of my mother-in-law’s hands hit me.
I never knew i had fainted,because immeditely I received the blow,I saw Micheal coming into the room with the same dress he wore the night he died.
‘Ah!Micheal,why did you leave me.’
‘I did not leave you my love…I was taken away from you and there is nothing I could have done to stop it’.
He sat down on the same chair my Mother-in-law fell the other time but nobody was here with us,because of the joy I had at seeing him,I did not even notice any change.
‘Who took you away’, I asked as i sat on his lap.
‘See,My dear it is a bad long story’.
‘Ehn!Start from anywhere you want to start’, I said as I stood up from his laps and sat on the chair.
‘Well,Mama had been fighting me from home to have another wife but I refused.She tried everything to make sure I get a new wife-she persuaded me, she told me forcefully and even said you have given me ‘something’ to eat that made me to be so much in love in you; that made me not see that I was growing old’, Micheal said,he shifted to another side of the chair.
‘At a certain time,when her plea and abuses were getting too much,I lied to her that i had gotten another woman, she was so happy and demanded to see the lady with immediate allacrity,I played her for a long time until may last two years,when she finally discovered that I was playing on her intelligence.
I thought she had given up on it, until I got a call from her in the month of July ,of that same year, that she was not feeling fine
Christian Teen Forced to ‘Convert to Islam or Die’ By Muslim Terrorists
Aside Posted on
A testimony from a 19-year-old Nigerian girl proves the terrorist group Boko Haram is kidnapping Christian women to use as slave brides, forcing them to “convert to Islam or die.”
Hajja, a 19-year-old from a village in the Gwoza hills of remote northeastern Nigeria, recently shared her account of three months captivity under the rule of a local 14-man Boko Haram tribe that traveled the hillsides of northern Nigeria and forced her to cook and clean for them. Hajja had been kidnapped by members of Boko Haram, an al-Qaeda affiliated terrorist organization, while she picked corn near her home in July. She now tells Reutersthat although she was never raped, she was treated terribly and ultimately forced to “convert to Islam or die.”
“If I cried, they beat me. If I spoke, they beat me. They told me I must become a Muslim but I refused again and again,” Hajja told Reuters in a recent interview. “They were about to slaughter me and one of them begged me not to resist and just before I had my throat slit I relented. They put a veil on me and made me read from the Koran.”
The young girl told Reuters that she spent her time as a prisoner to the Boko Haram group moving from cave dwelling to cave dwelling to escape detection from the Nigerian military. When she wasn’t cooking or cleaning she was forced to carry the terrorists’ ammunition, and in one incident she was forced to serve as bait to lure Nigerian soldiers into a Boko Haram trap. She then had to witness members of Boko Haram bind the soldiers’ arms and legs in a nearby cave and slit their throats. The only other woman traveling with the group of terrorists, the wife of the leader Nglayike, participated in the killing of the soldiers.
Hajja, whose last name has been kept anonymous to protect her other family members still living in the Gwoza hills, now lives in the Nigerian capital of Abuja. She was able to escape her captors after three months by feigning stomach pains, forcing the captors to send her to a local hospital with an elderly woman. Upon arriving at the hospital, Hajja she threatened to contact police, causing the woman to leave her there. Reuters reports that Hajja’s testimony of captivity is proof that Boko Haram is now taking Christian slave brides into their captivity so they may convert them to Islam and use them for household chores and menial tasks while traveling in the cavernous mountains of northern Nigeria. Boko Haram has chosen to travel through such terrain because most Nigerian soldiers are trained on the plains and unfamiliar with the mountain geography.
Just last week, the United States declaredthe al-Qaeda afilliated Boko Haram group to be a foreign terrorist organization. The move by the State Department was heralded by a U.S.-based Christian organization dedicated to protecting Christians in Nigeria. “AT LAST, the United States government has done the right thing, and members of the Christian Association of Nigerian-Americans, CANAN, with about 1,000 local churches in the U.S., are grateful to the LORD for answered prayers. We commend the U.S. President Barack Obama and the State Department for this forthright decision,” the CANAN group said in a statement to The Christian Post.
Boko Haram recently took responsibility for the kidnapping of a French priest in northern Cameroon , and sources revealed the priest had been transferred to Nigeria. The terrorist organization has also been held responsible for the late September attackon a college dormitory in Nigeria where 40 students were killed while sleeping. The Islamic group seeks to establish a Shariah Islamic law state in northern Nigeria, a country that is religiously split, with the majority of Christians living in the south and the majority of Muslims living in the north.
