A Nigerian therapist identified as Yemisi has shared how she was able to find love despite being a single mother of an 8 year old girl.

According to the woman, she was divinely led to visit Ghana from Lagos without having a purpose and on her way back she met her would be husband, they got talking and barely 7 months later, they got married.

The woman who had been married for 11 years, shared this story to reassure single parents that their right partners are available.
In her words:

“In 2011, I was a single mother to the most beautiful 8year old girl. I truly loved my life and loved God. He was my husband and father, I didn’t think anything was missing or that I needed anyone. While enjoying my life in Christ, I met my husband.

In May 2011, God asked me to go to Ghana (I live in Lagos). It made no sense to me because I had no prior plans to go to Ghana. However, as God is my Abba and besto, I bought flight tickets and went to Ghana in early June. I had no “touristy” plans and stayed in my hotel room.

I spent 3days or so in my hotel room, ordering room service and fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit. I turned it into a retreat as I had no idea why He asked me to go to Ghana. At the end of the trip, I headed to the airport to come back to Lagos.

After boarding the plane, there was an issue and we spent over an hour just waiting in the plane. Guess what? My husband was sitting beside me on the flight and we got talking during the delay. Long story short, we got married in Dec 2011 after a few months of courting.

We would be 11years happily married next month! God led me directly to where He wanted me to be maritally. I didn’t have to hustle or plot my way to it, I stayed obedient to the One who has good plans and thoughts about me always. He directed my path.

Are you a single mum here who is discouraged because of the trending gist on the timeline?
Do you think all hope is lost because you have a child/children?
God loves you more than you know and the desires of your heart to be married are found in Him and not in human opinions.

A 17-year-old, allegedly kept captive in a goat cage by her aunt for more than a week in Rikkos, Jos North Local Government Area of the state, has been rescued by the Plateau State Police Command.

She was saved after a neighbor notified Jos’ National Human Rights Commission, who then called the police.
According to The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the aunt was always abusing and starving the girl, who was an orphan.

On Friday, November 18, 2022, Mrs. Grace Pam, the Plateau coordinator of the National Human Rights Commission, issued a statement confirming the girl’s rescue.

In her words;

“The commission received information from an anonymous complainant that the girl was locked up on the balcony of a house by her aunt. She was living with her grandmother before she came to the aunt’s house because the grandmother was ill and could not continue to care for her.
The complainant alleged that the aunt traveled for close to a week and left the girl without food. Investigation revealed that the girl was truly malnourished and had scars on her hands, neck, and other parts of her body.
The marks resulted from incessant beatings she received from her aunt. The matter was reported to the police where the aunt’s statement was taken upon return from her trip.
The girl has been provided with temporary shelter until she recovers. We also found out that the orphan girl was never allowed to go out, but was locked up in the house and not fed. She has been taken to hospital by one of our partners to ensure proper medical care”

Pam lamented the recent rise in incidents of child abuse and appealed with citizens to stop abuses, pointing out that “as we speak, there is a case of another victim, a nine-year-old girl, who came to stay with her aunt barely two months ago. We had to rescue her on Thursday from her aunt; she beat her mercilessly, but thank God, she did not get her blind, but got her injured in the eye. We took her to the hospital on Friday with scars resulting from serious beatings.

When our staff went there, she was locked up in a zinc house where the aunt keeps her goats. The girl is looking forward to going back to her parents” she said.
