My Life, as a Teenager.

At a very young age, due to the fact that I was a boarder, was exposed to the lifestyle of been gay.. it was fun at first meeting various people ‎with different background and ethnicity. But the later on the negative parts which involved drinking of alcohol, clubbing, flirting, and smoking just to mention a few.. 

I became so engrossed doing all that, just because I was having so much fun. By the time I was 20 years old,  I have already had my first tattoo (which was unknown to my parents), traveled to places my parents can never believe I had gone to, just to have fun with my so-called friends then. 

But the Lord brought me back by to his ways by giving me a new experience through an arrest. I was meant to start my final exams, and on the day that preceded the examination day we decided to have a last night out. 

On our way back, there was a community clash in the morning and the Police were moving about picking anyone with suspicious movement. They picked me and my friends, we were locked up and asked to call our people to come bail us.

I couldn't call my parents and I didn't have anyone else to call. All my so called friends had deserted me. Eventually d grace of God prevailed and I was released after 3 days. Parents had searched far and wide for me. I had missed major papers in my exam. 

Finally, I rededicated my life to Christ and haven't looked back since then.

How God delivered me from Bed Wetting, within the final years in the University.

Story: Wale Adelana (pseudonym)


Life can never be much better, than being free from bed-wetting. The gush of confidence mixed with doubt [in this context, unsure if it has really stopped. Waking up to always check if you are dry, just one more day], relief mixed with gratitude to God for answering the greatest of your heart’s desires.

The major experience is low self-esteem, fear, shame, for a Christian- doubt in God. Imagine waking up to a morning, soaked and everyone is awake and you can’t come off your bed because of the shame [the first thought is how am I going to come off my bed, to change into something dry?]. 

I remember when I was in the secondary school, different people who seemed to feel compassionate would render unsolicited advice and suggestions [trust me, I was really grateful because they seemed to understand how I felt]. Some of the mythic suggestions included; peeing in fire, visiting an ‘alfa’ who they claimed had solutions [I never got to find out because I never tried this particular one out], etc. 

I also remember in the university when deliverance pastors came and mentioned the case of bed-wetting coupled with other serious cases and speak deliverance prayers to our lives, friends who do not know about your case, would ask what your case was, try to guess, and ask funny questions. [I believe you can imagine how I must have felt!]

Another major event I remember is with my younger ones who practically stopped bed-wetting before I did or didn’t wet the bed the day I did, would look you in the eye and wonder what kind of elder brother wets the bed at that particular age [not like they said it, but that’s how I felt they thought], it leads to disrespect. 

The lord delivered me in my fourth year in the university, and I have never been more grateful. I have got my confidence back, no shame, I sometimes drink water in the midnight to prove to myself its gone indeed. 

I speak the word of healing and deliverance to everyone reading this article [my story], the Lord who touched me and delivered me from the spirit of bed-wetting would touch you this moment and destroy in you that which God didn’t plant. He will deliver and set you free indeed.

You are free! The Lord shall restore all that the enemy has stolen from you, and I release to you by the power of the Holy Ghost your confidence, self-esteem, joy, peaceful sleep and sweet dreams, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen!

WHO IS TO BLAME?


A teenage girl had committed suicide after being gang raped by three boys in Okwoyi village, Isieke community in Umuahai North Government Area of Abia State.

Comfort Uche-Ume, was allegedly raped by three boys, Ndubuisi, Chinaza, and Francis who are now on the run.  Comfort was a JSS 3 student of Isieke Community Secondary School and has just finished writing the ‘Junior WAEC exam, at the time of incidence.

It was also reported that, two of the culprits hail from Okwoyi while the other is from Ikwuano LGA. The victim who until her death resided at Iyienyi village with her parents had gone in the company of her sister who was married at Okwoyi, a neighbouring village to see her (sister) husband. He said that as evening approached, the deceased opted to return home to remove the clothes they spread outside to save them from getting wet form the rain. But another source said the deceased decided to return home because she was having the key to their house, so that her parents who had been away would not be stranded upon their return.

The Police Public Relation Officer said the deceased was trekking back to Iyienyi village alone; she was allegedly accosted by Ndubuisi who had been making advances at her. He said Ndubuisi was assisted by two other accomplices, dragged the victim to a nearby bush where they gang-raped her, threatening to kill her if she raise any alarm. The police said when the sister of the deceased returned home, she met her crying and after enquires, Comfort narrated her ordeal to her.

Irritated by the sexual assault on her sister, she was said to have informed her husband, who quickly rushed to confront one of the suspects and engaged him in a free-for-all (fight).

According to the police, the victim was later brought to Umuahia Central Police Station around 9pm by her parents to officially report the matter.

Onyeke said after lodging the complaint, the police first decided to take the victim to the police clinic for examination and medical attention.

He said after she was examined and the police wanted to take her statement, but the parents pleaded that they should be allowed to take her home, promising to return the next morning since it was getting late so that they could still get transport home. 

 “But instead of returning as they promised, the parents never showed up. The mother of the deceased rather decided to scold her over the incident. The mother mismanaged the situation. She said to her ‘Have I not warned you not to go to Okwoyi village alone? Now three men have raped you and if you become pregnant, who will be the father of the baby? The next day, the mother of the victim allegedly went to her room again and started talking to her. She later invited her for the family’s morning devotion, but she declined,”

The state police spokesman pointed out that when the family began to hold their morning devotion about 20 minutes later, a shout was heard outside the house and the family members rushed out.


According to him, the initial thinking of family members was that the rapists had come to attack her again. But that was not to be as they were shocked to their marrows to see the lifeless body of their daughter, who was reportedly seen leave her room with a head tie/ veil across her shoulders, dangling on a guava tree beside their house. She had committed suicide!

Police said the deceased might have decided to take her life out of frustration and possible stigmatization.
The PPRO, therefore, advised parents and guardians to exercise caution when “they manage sensitive situations that might come their way, especially the ones affecting their children or wards.” He said, “Parents should avoid stigmatising their children, but treat them with love anytime such unfortunate situation comes up.”

Onyeke also appealed to members of the public with any credible information about the whereabouts of the alleged rapists to volunteer same to the nearest police station for prompt action.

Meanwhile, a source at Okwoyi told our correspondent that the villagers had begun a manhunt for the suspects. The source said hunters had been mobilised to comb every nook and cranny of the village for their possible arrest.

The question one ask is who is to blame for Comfort’s untimely death? Is it Comfort (the deceased), who unfortunately took her own life for fear of stigmatisation, or the mother who never stopped blaming and condemning her daughter for the misfortune that befell her.
