#DEARDANG,

  My name is Ebose, I’m 22 years old, and a mother of a six month old baby. Last year,I got pregnant  without knowing it. 

Last year, I was teaching in a private primary school in Ado Ekiti, I would spend most of my weekends at my friend’s house due to the fact

that my parents make me feel unwanted at home. Back to my story, one fateful weekend my friend took me to her friend’s place, they were all guys. They all looked suspicious so I made sure to stay awake to avoid stories that touch. The weekend went well,

the guys didn’t try anything. Because of this, I went there again the next weekend to hang out. My friend was not around but she said it was okay.

I was enjoying their company, then they brought me food, I ate and started feeling sleepy. The last thing I remember

from that night was that I saw myself pushing a guy off me and he made a statement ‘’YOU JUST GAVE ME A TASTE’’. When I woke up, The next morning I thought I was dreaming , we all greeted each other and I left to prepare for another week.

This happened in February, fast forward to April, I became terribly sick I couldn’t go to work, so my mum took me for test, even though I didn’t see the result, she told me it was typhoid. I was given drugs and I started taking them, my mum took me to another hospital for scan

PT 2.. to be sure the typhoid hasn’t affected anything,that was what she told me.When we saw the result,I saw CYCESIS,I just laughed and said what a wack doctor, because I had determined to stay celibate after my last relationship,so I had no reason to be worried about pregnancy

because as far as I was concerned I didn’t have sex.

I had to stop work because I was getting lean, I was really sick, I couldn’t eat. On this particular day I was home alone, bored and jobless, I decided to go get a book from my mum’s room. My attention was drawn to a paper,

I decided to open it, Lo and behold I saw the test result my mum refused to show me, I was 3MONTHS PREGNANT!!! DANG!! I had so many mixed emotions at that point.

I called my sis outside Nigeria who is more like my best friend. Apparently they all knew I was pregnant except my

dad, brother and I. I wanted to kill myself, I googled natural ways to abort, but I was scared, shocked, angry and sad.. I couldn’t change a thing or bring myself to abort my baby. Fast forward to August\September, my posting letter came out, I was posted to Jos, no money for

PT 3... I had a beautiful baby girl, but after everything, I had complications. Weeks after, I was reopened because I had infection. Before I could urinate or defecate, I’ll cry my eyes out because the pain was unbearable.

I SUFFERED!!!

I started going to work this year, since

I’m a corper, I stopped breastfeeding my baby by 3months, no milk supply, I couldn’t afford lactation cookies because I was dead broke, no one to ask for help and also I was squatting with a fellow corper , the place wasn’t conducive for my baby, so I had to leave her with my mum

at home. 

DANG, I’m writing this to you because I don’t like the way I’m been treated in this house, the shout, the indirect insults, I was raped, it wasn’t my fault. The saddest part is, this month my baby has fallen three times and with a nail scratch on her face,

PT 4...I can’t complain, all I hear is was it intentional? I have no where to go to. Where I was posted to, I haven’t been paid since January, I am tired of complaining. My brother got me an online job, where I get to read, review books and get paid, I don’t have a good phone,

I use Samsung J5, 2016 model, it works only with light, I’m very good at cooking and baking, I tried the business, it didn’t work out. Dang I’ve asked people for help, they leave me on read, I see you helping people. Please help me, I’m very hard working,

I want to open a youtube page to be showcasing and teaching people how to cook, no good phone, and this online job too,maybe if I do it for a year plus, I’ll be able to get a place for my daughter and I don’t want my 6months old baby to suffer, help me please.

THANK YOU DANG!!!!
