A Student of Abia College of Health Sciences and management Technology Aba Miss Miriam Ugonna Eke said she can no longer bear the attitude of her father Mr Okechukwu Eke whom she said does not want to see any man close to her.
Narrating her ordeal to a Blogger Mr Promise Uzoma Okoro on Thursday in Umuahia, Miss Miriam said she has been passing through hell in the hands of her father and wondered if he actually want her to marry at all in this Life.
“I am Miriam Ugo Bekee as many of you know me,a native of Umunevo nvosi in isialangwa south LGA of Abia state,
A student of Abia state college of health sciences and management technology Aba.I am 28yrs plus, I never wanted to do this,but I'm now tired,weak and depressed,I have been passing through hell in the hands of my father”
“Before I got admission into the high institution,I own a mini provision store,where I also do my tradomedicals, It was from that little kiosk that I raised the money to take myself to school,then when I got admission,I continued seeing myself through school”
“Since I got admission till date,none of my parents have given me one naira for school,I go to school everyday from isialangwa (my home town) to Aba,I go to and fro everyday because I haven't really gotten money to pay for house or even hostel”
“I have been the one paying my bills right from the day I finished secondary school.
While I was in primary and secondary schools,I use to hawk ice and sachet water in our village markets,just to survive as I was the first child and my mum wasn't around (story for another day)”
“Now since I got admission,I go to school in the morning then come back in the evening to be in that little shop so I can still raise something to help myself, though the shop is now empty cuz of the heavy load (my fees and bills) is carrying”
“My father have been giving me troubles everyday,he have made me to live in hell on earth,when ever he sees any man /guy, seating in my shop, probably drinking anything (because I sell native gin,that is kaikai and roots)he will go inside house ,bring knife and pursue the person(s),as my shop is just beside our compound”
“He doesn't want to see any man around me or my shop,he have been coming to my shop to pursue and fight people almost on daily and weekly basis,all the male customers have ran away because of his troubles,even the female ones,because no one wants to be killed or injured”
“The worst part is that,is still through the money I make from that little shop that I feed him,since he doesn't like bringing out his own money for any feeding”
“Many people including the kinsmen have advised me to get married and go out of the house for him,but I don't want to make any mistake in marriage,I don't want to rush into anyhow man all because of my father's troubles”
“Some have advised me to leave the village,pay for a house and shop close to where my school is,stay there and free myself from this problems.
Hmmm,that would have been a good suggestion,but where will I get such money from,as I manage to exist in life “
“Sincerely,I have been dying in silence,I am depressed,I am weak, I don't know if this man wants me to commit su!cide” she said.
Miss Miriam called on Nigerians to come to her rescue and help her leave the village because the only thing ringing on her ear now is to end her life.
