The Drainer

It wasn't peer pressure that made her
into what she became
It was her mind or rather if she
would be honest she would describe
herself as the product of her own thoughts
and beliefs!
She started reading romantic novels at the
age of nine
She was a voracious reader
She read her first storybook at the age of 
seven and fell in love in with reading at that
age
Her mother was a reader too
They had a house full of magazines and
novels
The genres were all sorts but most of them
were romantic and sexual
Her mother didn't know when she started
reading the romantic novels
Somehow she knew her mother wouldn't
approve so she tore off the back pages
and placed the novel in the middle of another
book to cover to hide what she was really 
reading
The novels were targetted at the senses and
the hormones
She would roll on the bed while reading 
while her nipples hardened and she got wet
all over
Each novel came with its own thrill
She got to play the maiden in her imagination
and she had all sorts done to her
Somehow she began to masturbate
Nobody taught her
She just got into it somehow
It got bad, so bad that she couldn't sleep
without masturbating at a point
Then they changed houses 
Their neighbour had a fifteen-year-old boy
She was fourteen at the time and she was
attending Wesley College, Elekuro, Ibadan
The boy was in the boarding school
The boy was very quiet and reserved
He was also very conscious of his parents
She would often watch him through the
window whenever he was going out
to do chores and stuff
One day she was home alone 
She saw him outside their kitchen 
She was in the kitchen too
It was around 9 am
She opened the door and called him
He knew who she was
They had been neighbours for about
a month
He walked up to her
She told him she wanted to pick something
in the freezer but it had gotten stuck
Could he help?
He didn't think twice about it
He walked in
She led him to the freezer and pointed
at something that had been frozen for a while
He tried his best
She knew he wouldn't be able to pull
it out
Her mother had tried to no avail
She was told to switch off the freezer all
day so that the items could thaw
After about thirty minutes, he shook 
his head
She gave him a napkin to clean his hand
He looked at her
She was wearing nothing under a big
white T-shirt
He sensed danger
She smiled and started talking to him
innocently
She wanted him to touch her but at
the same time she didn't want it to
seem as if she wanted him to
She had to be smart about it
He followed her into the kitchen
He started deliberating closing the
social distance between them
She knew he was building up his
confidence
He realized he had lost an opportunity
earlier
He had sensed she was open to it
He followed her back to the sitting room
She could have sat on the dining but the
seats were not adequate for what
she had in mind
She sat on the couch
He sat right next to her
Then he did the most unexpected thing
He laid down on the couch and placed
his head on her laps
His mouth was right about touching 
her nipples
And then he latched on to her nipples
through the breast
It felt so good, her toes were wriggling
of their own accord!
That was how it started or rather, how
they started
They were on holidays
Their parents go to work every day
They had no siblings
All they did was have sex
Sometimes seven times a day
It lasted throughout the holidays
He went back to school with a promise
to write but she was not his girlfriend
They never had any discussion in that
direction
They were just having sex
Once school resumed, she realized the
door he opened had changed her
She just couldn't sit and giggle around
like a fool with the other girls
She wanted to have sex
She needed to find someone to have sex 
with
She got one in the Video Club attendant
She invited him home to come help her
with the "dirty" video player head
one day and he ended up coming to
their house every day from 3-4 pm
to do one thing or the other 
It lasted for months
When she got to SS3
They were supposed to do a School leaver's
book
That was when she met the real man
He was the photographer her mother
took her to to get the picture in which
she was wearing her graduation gown
He touched her while adjusting her gown
They exchanged a look
She went back the next day and he 
started doing her
He was 33 and she was 16
She was wild
The funniest thing was she had no verbal
commitment with anyone
She was still sleeping with her next door
neighbour and the "Video club" guy 
whenever she had the chance
Her mother gave her the talk about sex
after she had her first period
She was the only child of her mother
Her mother got pregnant with her when 
she was in the final year of her secondary
school education
Her father never accepted the pregnancy
The church supported her mother until
she delivered and also sponsored her
mother through her tertiary education
Her  mother never married
Her first love had betrayed her and that
pushed her to give up on all men
Her mother told her the story of her
birth often
Her father had gotten married and settled
down in Germany 
When she was thirteen, her father called
and spoke with her for the first time
He aid he had a disagreement with her
mother which had been settled
He also said he would be responsible for her 
education and other needs from that time
henceforth
It was suposed to be a thing of joy 
At least her father had finally taken 
responsibility for her, but it wasn't
Her mother was totally devastated after
the call
Her mother perhaps expected her father
to say "I will leave my family and come
home to do right by you"
Of course, that never happened and her
mother was way too emotional for her
liking
Her mother told her about birth control
She told her never to get pregnant
She told her men are and will always be
users and takers
She got the message and she was
always careful
She had given nobody any emotional
commitment and she expected such
commitment from no one
She had finally found the right antidote
to love and all its negative effects
Sex is sex
Love is love
Sex needs no words
Love needs plenty of words
Sex has no emotional attachment
Words made love an "emotional attachment 
Sex doesn't hurt
Love hurts 
So she kept away from words and feelings
Sex is all about biology
She will always get some when she 
needed to get some
She gained admission into the University
Suddenly she fell into the category of
"aristos" or "campus sluts" due to her
way of life
It wasn't planned
But from the moment she got into the
female hostel and opened her mouth
about her own beliefs regarding men
and sex and relationship
She noticed that the serious "I love you"
girls avoided her
The serial monogamists who were always
breaking up, crying and moving on also
avoided her
The "married to Jesus" fanatics also steered
clear of her
The only other people she could relate with
were the wild ones
Those with sugar daddies
Those dating multiple guys at the same time
Those dating married men 
Those sleeping with men for money
She was caught in the fringes
That was when the peer pressure thing
came into play
She couldn't just stand-alone without
friends and people to relate to
She started sleeping around
The only difference was, she did it only
when she was in the mood 
She never allowed any guy to have a hold
over her and she paid no attention
to any man's words
Officially, she had never been in a relationship!
but she had lost count of the number
of guys she had sex with
She was living her life as desired to
She planned to graduate and pursue her
Masters abroad
She also planned to have a daughter
whom she would bring up as a single
mother
Her father had been true to his word
about sponsoring her education and
meeting all her needs
She had even come to know her father's
other children 
She spoke with them once in a while when
her father deemed it fit
Her mother was still single and bitter
She had never seen her mother with a man all
her life
It seemed the older her mother got, the
more she shrunk in size 
She was determined never to give any man
such a power over her life and reality
She graduated and was posted to the
North for her NYSC
She had a lot of fun and made a lot of
money
Sex without strings seemed to be very
appreciated in the community where
she served
By the end of her service year, she was
worth 27 million Naira in cash alone
She had other assets like gold and shares
She also had a house and three cars '
among other luxury items
Throughout her NYSC she spoke with her
mother only once
Her mother was a religious and bitter woman
The combination of both was always
irritating and toxic
She avoided her mother like a plague
When she returned to the south,
she got a job as a marketer for a bank
it was what she did in the North while
she was serving and she was considered
a whale bait because of the heavy
accounts she landed through her 
open legs
She rented an apartment and started
plotting her escape from Nigeria
She studied and wrote the necessary
tests
She applied and got the admission
She applied to the embassy for her visa
She was required to have a medical
That was when it was discovered that
she had a strange sickness
She had been feeling drowsy, dizzy,
fatigued and exhausted before then
She attributed it to stress and lack of
adequate rest
As a marketer, she had a target to meet
and that required a lot of work
She had also been steadily losing weight
she didn't count it as a big deal
Loss of weight should be celebrated
in her opinion
A week after the initial test, she was
confirmed to be afflicted with cancer
Breast cancer!
She was just 29 years old
It was a devastating blow
but the "cancer" had been caught early
and she had hope
All she needed to do was get treatment
immediately
She got on it immediately
It was a money gobbler
She had surgery and hormone therapy
Her mother had to drop everything
to tend to her
The cancer was determined to kill her
She threw everything she had at it
She sold her cars and house in the north
She spent all her savings
It lasted two years and eight months
She traveled to India twice
The ailment drained her to the last cash
Everybody gave up, even her mother
They were waiting for the day she would
bow out 
The sickness had changed and disfigured 
her
She hated looking in the mirror
She was always weak and short of breath
Death was deliberately toying with her
Even she knew she was fair game
Then she met him
A young 19 years old boy who believed
in Jesus and wanted to win her soul
Her mother didn't mind the company
The boy would come around and spend
two to three hours with her daily
Just to discuss the Bible and all
The boy gave her a pack of messages to listen
to on google drive
Some teachings by an unknown preacher
The boy didn't attempt to heal her 
He was preparing her for eternity
She knew her mother or one of her
mother's religious people were behind it
She was grateful for the company
Every evening, the young man would
log in on zoom to a group of believers that 
reads the Bible daily
She would just listen in
Her phone on permanent silence
She would hear the Bible and also the
voice of many readers who read one after
the other on the app
She had missed the voice of people badly
It became something to look up to daily
She listens to the word and would discuss
the word with the young man sometimes
That was it
She started having the strength to eat
and also retain her food
She also started sleeping all night without
waking up vomiting, spitting or in pain
She had experienced several false dawns
before that
She hated to hope 
But things started changing
It was slow and steady
She started to recover
Nobody understood why!
When the young man noticed the change
he told her he wanted to bring a guest
to meet with her
He brought the brother in Jeans and 
T-shirt to her house
She had heard his voice several times
from the audio recordings the young
man gave her earlier
He held her hand and started speaking
in tongues
He didn't even attempt to greet her or
make her comfortable
She didn't know where the tears came from
She wept silently as he prayed
Then the brother in jeans and T-shirt
said "A drainer was placed in you, it is
draining your essence daily in response
to the instruction of its master"
She was shocked
Nobody ever told her anything like that
He pulled her up by both hands
She stood on her feet, a sudden pain
his her by the right side
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt said 
"Ignore the pain and listen to my voice!
The pain is a distraction!
Stand, stand straight and scream with
all your strength when i say go!
She was trembling all over
The pain was excruciating but the hands
holding her was steady and full of
power
The brother in Jeans and T-shirt was
praying in tongues
She lifted up her head and suddenly
felt a pain in her tummy
She screamed on top of her lungs
She felt like she was being torn into 
two
Suddenly she head a "pop" sound
Something dropped out of her 
private part to the floor
It was a very black long wormlike
thing
And it was alive and moving 
Her mother fainted
The young man killed the creature
The brother in jeans and T-shirt said
You have to give your life to Jesus
now and get filled with the Holy
Spirit, otherwise you may not last the
night
She agreed
She gave her life to the Lord Jesus
and got baptized in the Holy Ghost
The brother in Jeans and T-shirt stayed
and prayed with her for hours
{As they were praying, her mother got
on her feet and started praying in tongues
too!
She had been filled with the Holy Ghost
even though her denomination was not
so keen on it}
The more they prayed, the lighter
and stronger she felt in her body!
One week later, she started bathing
herself again and taking walks within
the compound
Within a month, she had recovered fully!

Ps: Her name is Glory, she is married
with a baby boy 
She got married a year after she got
healed
She got married to a gospel musician
and instrumentalist whose lyrics made
her heart and eyes dance with joy
Her mother is in a relationship with
a widow she met on a church singles
group
She is forty-nine years old and is so 
full of joy
The young man is currently observing 
his NYSC
What he witnessed transformed his 
Christian reality forever
This event happened in Ikeja, Lagos

GSW's Notes: Someone she slept with
planted a demonic substance in her for
ritual purposes
The "drainer" was draining her life force
slowly and making the person rich in
return
Sex, although biological is also spiritual
Many with malevolent intention will
use it as a "spiritual" access to a victim
and afflict such through it
Many had died of diseases doctors
found perturbing and puzzling
Glory be to God for giving us the Lord
Jesus and the gift of the Holy Spirit

Hallelujah!
