No Mother, No Father

in #family7 years ago

In the beginning, my Mom lost her dad when she was very little, my mom gave birth to me as a pre-mature child (Seven Month old) in the year 1988 since then my dad started maltreating my mom. My dad is a farmer and a trader also with my mom, they engage with hard work, stress, pain with a lot of popularity within and among the community.

I cant count the number of times my dad send my mom away parking, from her matrimonial home, in other to marry another woman and to remarry again without a reason, the question is, why are you sending the innocent woman parking? Mother said, I never said you shouldn’t marry another woman, why are you sending me away? at night he will beat up my mom to the point of death. Severally she beat up my mom and pul off some of her teeth including her hair, is that not a murder? My mom has no choice rather than to take her four little children and leave the house for him.

In the scene my dad succeeded remarrying six (6) wives that is the identified once. So my mom and the four kids were now suffering, I am the first born (OTOS) in the course of the suffering my mom lost our last born (A Girl) one amazing thing is that, when my dad begin to show concern, is when we now got into secondary school, he paid only fifty percent (50%) and my mom pay the remaining fifty percent (50%) if my mom should complain that she is not doing anything and she is not married were does he want her to get money from? He will reply, I have played my own part, it is your turn to play your own part, scaring the children that you mom do not want us to go to school!.
After a lot of battle on finances and welfare, so far, so good by Gods grace we rounded up our secondary school, in 2017, immediately I and my remaining two sisters came down to Abuja to look for job in other to take good care of our mom and put an end to her suffering.
By God grace we got a job and we ask my mom to come down to Abuja to stay in 2008 and she start little business in other not to be idle. In 2014 my immediate younger sister got an admission into school of nursing while I was still struggling to have mine, in 2015 I got an admission into university of Abuja. At this period my dad is now coming to beg, asking my mother to come back at this time, he has become more older than he was before.

Now his reason of coming to plead with my mom is very simple;

  1. He knew that we are now in higher institution
  2. He knew that by God grace we will secure a good job
  3. He knew that by God’s grace we will get married and settle down and if he do not act fast he may lose everything because he has already loose many in the past.

That is to say, he is not coming to show love, contribute to our financial challenges, welfare etc but to gain his selfish interest and to reap what he did not sole. He pleaded severally and making all empty promises which I am very sure off. After having several interrogation with him, I ask him how about our wives and he replied; some left by themselves and some I chased them! I asked why did you do that? He replied! Because I do not want any problem bringing my wife. My aunt (Rev. Sister) who is more than a mother but a spiritual mother to me, replied; you send away all your concubines just to bring your wife? He said yes! My aunt said loudly, you have done evil and you are coming to offer your innocent wife as a scarifies? He replied no, I only want to maintain peace and to watch over my flock!.

At night my dad start begging with an apology from the first born to the last born, sincerely, we felt form him and forgive him by allowing our mom to go back to him, because he is still our father and the fatherly blood is still flowing in us.
Thinking he is completely a changed person, after some week my mom went back to meet him with a condition, which says, if you go and he has not changed or you are not comfortable with him please come back to us, not knowing that, this point he actually wanted my mom dead.

The whole plan was only noted by God, until one faithfully day when my mom was sweeping the house on the first day, my dad was sitting outside, while my mom was doing the sweeping inside, suddenly she shouted, Help! Help!! Help!!! With a loud voice.

Dad: What is it?
Mom: something entered my body?
Dad: What is thing that entered your body?
Mom: I don’t know, while I was sweeping, around the corner I don’t even know what my broom touch, but the thing touches my broom and passes through the broom to my hand and to my whole body like an electric shock. And everybody in the village gathered to hear about the strange thing that happen, everybody was at shock no one know what to do neither do they know what to say.

After some days my mom’s leg begins to swollen every day by day until she was unable to walk. My dad took her to the hospital in the village and she was given some drugs and both native, she undergo through all kind of test you could imagine including scan and X-ray, honestly nothing was found in her body, even a needle was not found yet she complain of pain and something moving around her stomach, churches also have done their best, but the only assurance was that it’s a spiritual poison and she is going to vomit the poison one day.

Along the line, my dad now abandon her completely no money, no attention, no care and even no call, to the extent that I need to be sending her money to feed, before I now make an arrangement for her to come down to Abuja.
Moreso, as soon as I set my yes on her I couldn’t believe my eyes, my mom was looking very strange and different, different from the mother I use to know, she was very ill and lean to the extent that she could not walk without somebody supporting her movement.

The most annoying thing is that whenever I ask my dad about the health of my mom he will say, she is very fine and better that she is taking her treatment and meanwhile is has been abandoned and rendered helpless in the village.
My mom came back to Abuja in January, 2017 for more treatment, Test, and X-ray Gwagwalada Specialist and St. Mary could not find anything.

She died on 29th October, 2017 after attending my immediate sister’s wedding in the village and died a week after the wedding in the same village, my lovely sweet, virtue and venerable mother never come back to me again.

Note: During the cause of my investigation, vision from men of God and prophet gave the names of people that where involved; they are;

  1. Prophet/men of God: 2 women and a man
  2. Another Prophet/men of God: The last wife that was sent parking, my father’s sister and my father
  3. My Dad: My dad said it is her sister who is behind all his down fall, problems and his miserable life.

Now my mum is now late “May her gentle soul rest in peace” AMEN. I believe she now know the number of people that planned the poison and the causes of her early death. Also I have left everything to God to decide his judgment.

Finally, now my problem is my dad, this not from investigation, prophet and man of God, but this is about what my dad says and what he does right from my pre-mature age till the death of my lovely and virtue mother. The following comment and attitude to people, his wife and his children is as follows;

  1. He beat up my (Nursing mother) to the point of death and pull out my mom’s teeth that result to the artificial using of teeth
  2. He chased my mom out of her matrimonial home and still wants her back after re-marrying six women
  3. He is very heartless and doesn’t listen to elderly and friend’s advice
  4. Whatever good that is coming to his neighbors, families, friends, and even his own children he is not happy
  5. He is selfish, but hardworking
  6. No one can predict his mode
  7. He has no regard to anyone, both young and old
  8. He said to my grand ma, less than three month before the death of my mom that none of her children is going to bury her, and so it was
  9. He told my mom on her sick bed that if she does not come back to him, she is going to die, and my sister’s wedding will not hold.
  10. He said that if my mom die, let we her children come after him and killed him
  11. He hardly go to church, if he succeeded, his face is always down till the end of the church service
  12. Any share of family responsibility, he must quarrel, fight, or giving condition before accepting
  13. He uses his own mouth to tell us that, it was her sister who is behind all that my mum is going through
  14. He is troublesome

The following are my decision

  1. Stop picking his call
  2. No one can put settlement between us
  3. I do not want to see him again till I die
  4. I am a different species
  5. He has killed my promises
  6. No mother, no father
    Conclusion, my mum is late, despite all my promises and her promises to me, I have no mother and I can never have a mother again, no matter how wealthy I become, my dad is not trying to come closer to us, calling and calling every five-five minute, each time I see my phone ringing and I notice it was him, it keep reminding me the past and I become very angry with him and myself! This time I do not know his mission.

THE END!

GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY
