I had slept with Ope multiple times against her wish. She was pregnant for me twice and we secretly aborted those pregnancy. This is the reason my wife has not been able to conceive all these years. When I became tired of my life I spoke to Tunde about my problem. Even though I didn’t tell him details but I told him I was tired of life and I was contemplating suicide when he took me to Baba Lode, a herbalist at the outskirt of the village. He was more…

It was 8pm and we began to make preparation for the 9pm meeting. My father in-law had insisted he will not go with us this time. I’m already feeling my BP had gone up and I wouldn’t want it to go higher than what it is if you don’t want to carry my corpse back to Ajase, he said. We got set and we drove in Toyin’s car to the church. Three of the prayer team members were already seated waiting for us and baba. Few minutes later, baba and…

We thought we had heard confessions until Kassim made us believe he killed his grandmother. His father could not hold himself anymore as he bursted into tears. Pastor let him die, he does not deserve to live, let him die. I cannot have this monster as a son, he’s not my blood. Let the bastard die or I will kill him myself. Sincerely I could understand the man’s pain. How can a man sleep with his own mother and sister and kill his own grandmother? What sort of life is…

It was an all-night prayer and praise session. At about 4:20am Kassim became restless and unstable. He began to shout, “fire” “fire” “fire”. All of us standing by saw no fire but he kept screaming and complaining fire was burning him all over his body. Remove the fire, I will confess, he begged but baba rather increased the intensity of the fire by intensifying the prayer. For ten minutes, Kassim was rolling on the ground in pain and agony yet he refused to confess. Suddenly, baba came closer and touched…

Two days to the expiration of the deadline given by the herbalist, my husband was yet to confess the atrocities that lead to our ten years of barrenness and closed heaven. Even while it was clear he would die, he refused to say anything after much begging and assurances of soft landing. As at this time, I had forgotten what he did to Ope in our house. All I wanted was for him to be out of the situation at hand. The thought of early widowhood began to kill me…

My husband was taken to a herbalist in Egi-Oyo Ipo, a very small hamlet in Kwara state. The herbalist made some incantations, gave him some concoctions to drink and for the first time his eyes came down. The smiles on our faces was aborted when the herbalist came to announce to us “I see death on his forehead”. We can only remove this death if only he can confess the secret in his belly. Secret? I shouted. Kassim why have you hid the secret for this long even to the…

I got a call from an unknown number on the 13th of July asking me if I was Mrs Nneka Kassim. I almost replied my caller by saying, “No, it’s a wrong number” but I changed my mind to answer in the affirmative. “Yes, I am Mrs Nneka Kassim, how may I help you?” I asked my caller. My name is nurse Deborah calling from Diamond Clinic. Your husband is on admission in our clinic and his condition is very critical. Your attention is urgently needed to save his life.…
