Intervention

She was a trophy wife and she knew it

He had built his empire for forty four years

Built massive buildings all over the nation

Groomed his business into an household name

He didn’t even bother to speak with her

He spoke directly to her father

It was her father that came home with the news on December 26

So and so had asked for your hand in marriage

She didn’t understand what his father was saying at first

It wasn’t as if she didn’t want to marry or to marry rich

She was beautiful and deserved all the comfort life has to offer

But how could she be talking of marriage without even having a one-on-one with the groom to be

She told her father as much

Her father didn’t say a word

Later that night, around 9pm, her father asked her to come with him

She got into the car and he drove her to his house

He was waiting for them outside the massive gate of his mansion

Her Father introduced them at the gate

He led them into his mansion and asked her father if he could show her around the house

Her father nodded

They started the mini-tour

By the time they got to his purple sitting room where he meets with kings and royalties

She was convinced she loved him

That same night, she slept with him on the water bed in the master bedroom

She didn’t care that her father was somewhere in the mansion waiting for them

She had seen enough!

They got married six months later

She walked right into her own childhood dream

She delivered her first child a year later

A baby boy!

It was exactly what he wanted

He gave her a brand new G-Wagon

Her life was perfect

Then he went for a business meeting in Saigon and met a princess from the Philippines

She didn’t know what the princess did

At first he explained that the princess was brokering a diamond mine deal for him

A year later, he travelled to France for the christening of his first daughter

The lady had delivered a child for him

She told herself it was okay

She knew such would be inevitable when she chose to marry him

Money and the comfort of life were the things she opted for

She had dated poor and average guys before

They all cheated on her

She decided she would rather take the rich who cheats

Than be the one putting food on the table for a man while the man slept around

He stayed in France for almost seven months

She became the woman at the other end of the phone begging for attention

One day he returned unannounced

He asked her to come into his study and asked her point blank if she was a witch!

She couldn’t believe it

How could she be a witch?

Of all the things a man could accuse a beautiful woman like her of!

Witchcraft?

The witches she saw on television were always ugly and unkempt

Ladies like her are to be accused of cheating, not witchcraft

She told him as much

He said his daughter crawled into a swimming pool and drowned in France

His Philippine baby mama told him it was her African witchcraft that killed their daughter

And he also came to her

Despite the level of education, enlightenment and exposure he had

He asked her such a foolish question

The next day, her son suddenly screamed from sleep

She ran into his room and saw him looking almost lifeless

They rushed him to the hospital

The doctors couldn’t diagnose what was wrong with him

Her husband was beside himself with worry

He lost a daughter just a few days before

Doctors told them to fly her son abroad

She ran home to pack a few things

Then she saw the toy

Her husband brought it for their son from Italy

She didn’t know why

The toy just stood out in the room, it made her shiver

She quickly ran to the hospital and discharged her son

It suddenly occurred to her that it was no longer a matter for doctors and the hospital

It is a spiritual issue

She had been seeing a Pastor on television for several weeks talking about a special programme

She didn’t know why she wrote down his phone number a few days before

She made the call

She was directed to the venue of the programme

She got there and met a very long queue

Someone came to meet her

“Madam, you will need to fill a consultation card, the VIP form is 20,000” or you will have to join the long queue over there!

She couldn’t believe it!

Her child was dying and she was being hounded for money!

She called her driver, “Please bring my bag”

Driver: Madam, you didn’t carry bag ma! When you came down from the Hospital with your son, you weren’t carrying any bag!

She turned to the man, “I am sorry sir, I am not with my bag! I promise I will transfer the fund later”

The man didn’t reply her, he pointed to the queue and walked away!

She felt deflated!

She was so sure the boy would be dead by the time it got to their turn

She looked up

Her son suddenly started jerking violently

She fell on her knees with her son in her arms

“Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on my son! Please spare his life, please heal my son”

The boy suddenly went limp!

She was too late

Tears well up in her face

He son opened his eyes, and smiled at her

She couldn’t stop the tears!

The tears left her body with sorrow and rolled down her face with joy

It was as if her son was never ill

She carried him into the car and they drove back home

When they got home, her husband was waiting by the gate

He was angry that she discharged the child in spite of doctor’s warning

The doctor told him the boy would definitely die

When she opened the car door, her son jumped down first

Her husband was shocked

She took the toy her husband brought from Italy and gave the toy to him

“This is the poison sent by your voodoo wife to afflict my son, tell her it didn’t work”

He took the doll and left the house

When he returned home later that night, he didn’t say a word

The voodoo wife was gone before the end of the week!

The following year, she delivered her baby girl

Ps: This event happened in Lagos Nigeria (2005)
