Ladies and Gentlemen,
There's a lesson and a blessing attached to every situation.
Here's Shalom's journey to being a #soloparent
Good day, my name is Shalom I saw your post and I thought I could also share mine to encourage young ladies out there not to make the same mistake I made here's my story I got admission into one of the Nigerian universities I was so excited at least I am now an undergraduate.
Fast forward I decided to join one of the campus fellowships in school and that was when my journey to single motherhood began I was a naΓ―ve little girl of 18 who knew nothing other than going to class and coming back to my hostel one of the days I decided to go for Sunday fellowship as usual and that was how I met him .
He was on the pulpit giving his testimony of how God has been so good and merciful to him ooh he sang worshiped God and I felt the holy spirit moved or so I thought after two days we met in one of the school canteens and he was like can I pay for your lunch and I was like thank you with a big π grin on my small tiny face.
And that was from that little discussion I became known on campus as bishop's girl everyone knew us then my friends would talk, cry, and warn. My fellowship members would also bombard me with calls but when I was in love he took me to so many places. My parents got to find out about us and my mum would call and beg me to stay focused I was the envy of other ladies lest I forget I was a virgin π.
Fast forward to when I became pregnant that was when it dawned on me that I had been deceived all along when he heard it he told me to keep it. He then he introduced me to his mum the mum said ok keep her but you know mbsaie people are bad it's a place from the eastern part of Nigeria called Imo state.
I tried my best to be good to cut the long story short I was maltreated the young man would beat me up with pregnancy the mother would call me names I had to go back to the north to give birth to my twins through cs operation a boy and girl. He came back begging that he's a changed man my parents said no I decided to follow him to his base in Port Harcourt there the worst of my night mares began.
In fact I can't say everything but the thing is it was a huge fight getting my twins from them ever since I left with them.
It hasn't been easy been a single mum trying to fend for them alone without any help from the young man or his parents I thank God for my mum she has been supportive though I didn't let that affect my school I graduated with my mates.
Now I am not only a graduate but also a banker working with one of the financial banks in Nigeria I hope others learn from my mistakes not all that glitters are gold thanks for giving me the opportunity to write to you.
Thanks Shalom, we love you, please say thanks to your mum for us, she's the realist OG.
You are a brave woman and for always be living in love , love never gave up on you...Love is God and God is Love.
