When I got to secondary school, my parents relocated to Ibadan and thinking of how difficult it would be to get me into school in Ibadan, my parents decided that I go live with my uncle since he lives close to my school here in Ketu. My uncle has a fiancé who only visits on weekends. My uncle works as an assistant manager in a bottling company, his duties are usually rotated, sometimes morning, sometimes night. He was so nice to me that he supplies all my needs; I sincerely don’t lack anything as a girl and as a student.
On many occasions, he took me to ShopRite to get things for me. Sometimes, he will ask us to hang
out in bars, he buys me pepper soup and alcohol – I actually don’t drink anything alcoholic but my uncle nags severally that he doesn’t like it that I whenever he takes me out, I only order for soft drink. So, I started drinking Gins and Orijin except on occasion that I take Gulder and Stout. Whereas his fiancé doesn’t take alcohol, he had fought her so many occasions but she remained adamant as to not taking alcohol. It started one fateful day when I was 13years old in JSS2.
My uncle arrived from work so early, it was on a Thursday and he was on the morning shift, so, he had gotten home before I came back from school. On getting inside, I met my uncle watching Pornography, I immediately ran into my room. Then I heard him laughing out loud and simultaneously calling me to come to the sitting room. I couldn’t look up as I was very timid as to what exactly could be the relevance of a Christian watching such video. Since he noticed I wasn’t looking up, he dragged me into his arms and made me sit on his thighs, I was already shivering, puffed up like I was going to burst. He whispered into my ears that I should keep calm stating that pornography means NOTHING! He said pornography only helps stimulate the dead organs in the body. He started caressing my laps and my breast; I forced myself out of his arms and ran out. I had thought that was going to be my last day in his house not until he came to beg me that he didn’t know what came over him to have done such a thing to me. I heed to his pleads since that was his first time of doing such with me so, I kept calm and went back inside. I forgave him totally that I didn’t think of any further acts from him. Everything went peacefully until midnight when my uncle sneaked into my room and jumped on me, I screamed for help but how was I to get helped when my uncle has tied a cloth around my mouth and there was no one in the flat except my uncle and I.
He succeeded in his mission – my uncle raped me (tears scrolling down my eyes). I called my Parents to explained what my uncle did to them but they shut me up and didn’t even want to hear further why I said they should come pick me up from my uncle’s place. They insisted that they will disown me if I try to escape because they feel I cooked up fabricated lies against him just to leave his place, my parent felt he curbed me from indulging my self in something crazy as he has earlier lied to them. My uncle threatened to kill me if I tell any other person about what he’s been doing to me.
I am now used to him having sex with me since I have no choice. I thought of reporting him to his fiancé but anytime I remember his threat, I withdraw and cry bitterly. I am really confused. The people I could confide in are my parents but they didn’t give me listening ears. My career is at stake. I’ve lost concentration in school. I am really losing it and the next thing on my mind is to COMMIT SUICIDE. I repeated SS2 but currently in SS3 and I’m 18years old. I feel the world is against me as a result of this. I am alone! My uncle has reshaped me into a bitter and aggressive young girl. Please, I need your ADVICE.
I am viewing right now.
