Being a lady costed me almost my total life.
We were born more children in our family, and i was the third born, the first being a girl then a boy and me. There followed other two sisters and three brothers.
I was born in 1964 and I grew well, joined primary school and when I was Primary five, my elder sister had joined secondary school and was in senior one. I was 12years then.
One day, my elder sister got pregnant and was chased from school. When she reached home, my Dad was furious and he chased her even from home and she went to our untie.
After my sister was expelled from school my Dad said that educating girl-children meant nothing. He removed all of us girls from school. And the boys continued.
I cried and cried but all meant nothing to change my dad's heart.
So I stopped schooling when I was in primary five.
Whenever I could see girls of my age going to School, I would hide myself and cry.
I thought that my dad would change but he seemed unchanging.
Two years passed that was in 1978 I seemed to grow taller than other girls of my age. I tried to look clean, smart, like other girls who were studying
The fact that I was not educated, in 1980 I found a man and got married at a young age of 16.
The man was educated, which was my wish, but he was poor.
People could wonder why he married me when I was uneducated. And whenever I could hear those, I would hide myself and cry.
I was even willing to go back to school if my husband allowed me, but he couldn't.
Whenever I would quarrel with my husband, the first The thing he would tell me is that its because I'M UNEDUCATED and I'd keep quiet and cry inside.
My husband soon got rich, we got money but enjoyed for a short time. I was having my only one child who was a girl.
Then my husband started seeing other ladies who were educated, who looked more beautiful, I tried my best to stop it but I failed.
He finally married a woman who was a graduate.
That was my other time to miss a chance coz i was not educated.
Marriage is conditioned worsened and in 1984 we Separated after 4 yrs though I was still at a younger age of 20.
I went looking for work to do so as to get what to eat, and my Child's needs.
I hated men and decided not to get married again. And I prayed to God to be my everything, in fact He has been
Whenever I'd be looking for a job, the first thing They asked me was qualifications, of course I had none.
Then I'd be given jobs which we hard and sometimes designed for men. But i had nothing to do. I had to execute them to earn a living.
I did all I could but I made sure that my Girl attends school, and she was one of the reasons why I ηєνєя got married again, because I wanted to keep on looking after her. And to make sure she gets an education which I failed to get.
It was a struggle through hardships but finally in 2003 my daughter graduated, i was the happiest. What i failed to do, my daughter finally reached on it.
Two months later, she got a job. And I started enjoying something from her, she soon made me leave all the dirty jobs I was doing.
She got married but she has never stopped her care towards me as her Mum. And every year by God's grace, we get better.
I encourage all parents to educate your children, they are as important as boys.
