Righting Wrongs

She loved to run, both the sprint 
and the long distance 
She loved to play table tennis 
She loved to do high jump and long jump 
She had the stamina for it 
She had the love for it 
She had the desire and the drive for it 
She started taking it seriously in the 
primary school 
Her PE teacher realized she was a gem and 
did everything to get her to shine 
She won all the available medals for track 
and field events from primary three until 
she got to the polytechnic! 
Academically she was average but her 
record in track and field especially after 
she settled for long distance races and 
long jump was excellent! 
She kept away from boys and sex 
She was told it would mess with her 
hormones and could truncate her career! 
Being an athlete was an advantage for her 
on campus 
She didn't have to fight for accommodation 
and she got some incentives from the school 
whenever they had local and federal games 
festivals 
It was after she got into the polytechnic 
that she came across the lesbianism for the 
first time 
For those who went to all-girls secondary 
schools, it was nothing new 
But for her, a day student, it was 
"Oh My God"
One of the athletes she looked up to told 
her it wasn't a big deal! 
She knew it was but she respected the 
athlete too much to argue! 
She also needed to be part of the gang! 
She was no longer a child! 
After that evening, the same athlete 
came on to her in the common bathroom 
and offered to help her wash her back! 
She gave her the sponge and that was 
how it began! 
She was just sixteen! 
The athlete was the bloke 
She was the babe 
It was intense and very emotional 
She never thought a woman could truly 
fall in love with another woman! 
But she did! She fell hard!
Her bloke was twenty-seven years old 
and very experienced! 
The things she learned about the 
human body within six months were 
absolutely crazy! 
They were together for years! 
Her bloke graduated 
She also finished her OND! 
Her bloke went for NYSC with a promise 
to keep in touch
She was nineteen years old by this time 
The next thing she heard 
Her bloke was getting married 
What! 
She was very much in love 
She couldn't believe it but it was true! 
She told herself it was all a rude joke 
She traveled to see her bloke 
They talked Her bloke told her it was
An arranged marriage and promised her
 the marriage was not a problem! 
They would still find time to be together! 
They consoled each other that day 
The wedding held Her bloke introduced her 
to the groom as her school daughter 
The groom accepted her 
She returned to school for her HND
Throughout her HND she kept in touch 
with her bloke 
She spent at least two weekends in a 
month at her house 
Even when her bloke was pregnant 
They were together 
Nobody suspected anything 
She graduated and got a job 
The pay was very poor but she took it 
because she didn't want
To live too far away from her bloke! 
Her bloke's husband was into software 
engineering 
He traveled very often to Germany 
They had the time and space needed 
They were each other's world! 
Then sometime in 2014, her bloke's 
husband came up with the idea of 
relocating his family
She fought it 
She told her bloke to say No! 
Her bloke told her it was time for her 
to get married 
They had been together for almost 
eight years 
She didn't get it 
Men came on to her often 
She liked some and made friends 
with others but she simply wanted 
nothing to do with men or
Any other partner! 
Her bloke told her she was obsessive! 
"What of I die today, won't you live your life?" 
Asked her bloke It felt to her as if her 
bloke was indirectly breaking up with her 
and siding with her husband 
The relocation processing began 
Her bloke told her to prepare
her mind and get her own apartment! 
She couldn't take it 
One night, after hours of ponderings, 
she poisoned her bloke's husband's drink 
All she wanted was to get her bloke's 
attention back 
She thought he would drink and die 
peacefully in his sleep! 
But It was a messy death
They rushed her bloke's husband to the 
hospital on time but the hospital didn't 
have the antidote for the poison! 
Her bloke's husband died 
His family members came around 
The police got involved! 
The consequences of her actions dawned 
She knew her bloke suspected her 
But she was careful not to leave any 
evidence behind! 
The investigation took eleven months 
She was not even interrogated or treated 
as a suspect 
If she was, she would have confessed 
She didn't know it would feel so terrible 
When it was over, her bloke threw her things 
out with tears and curses! 
She had nobody to go to! 
Her mother died giving birth to her 
She was raised by her grandma who
passed on when she was in ND 2
She never knew her father 
She had lost her job during the 
nerve-wracking investigations 
She was so sure she would be caught 
and sent to jail!
One of her bosses at her former place 
of work came to her rescue 
He offered her his boys quarters to live in 
His wife offered her food 
She found a job at a supermarket closeby! 
The family was attending an orthodox Church 
and she went to church with them 
After two years she made her inquiries 
and joined a religious order! 
*** She said her soul was not at peace 
in any way 
She knew what she did and felt it was unfair 
that she was walking free after committing 
such a heinous crime! 
She said she was depressed and suicidal! 
She knew she needed to do the right thing! 
It just felt right that she lived the rest of life 
in service to God and humanity! 

Ps: I have a lot of brothers and sisters in cassocks! 
This sister is the wittiest of them all! 
She wrote her opinions on many of my stories 
and has helped me to counsel many people
When she first reached out to 
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt, she 
complained of having dreams and 
nightmares every day! 
They prayed together 
She received the baptism of the Holy Spirit 
The siege of horror was conquered 
There is a way out of certain lifestyles 
A way of love
Please reach out today and experience 
the transforming power of the Holy Spirit! 
Our gospel is not in words but in power! 
There is no way Wrong can ever be Right 
Don't give up on yourself 
Don't continue in the wrong path 
You will be transformed by the Holy Spirit 
Come to Jesus today
