Iya Beji.
So, last week I told my mom that Iya Beji is the one stealing provisions from our cupboard.
Are you sure?? Mom asked me because Iya Beji is her very good friend. Mom, I know that Iya Beji is your friend and I can't lie against her...I saw her.
Brethren, that was how my mom confronted Iya Beji and she denied, she took offence and started insulting my mom. A polite confrontation turned into an argument and it drew the attention of the neighbors
The  neighbors asked about what happened and I explained everything to them. Some of the neighbors validated was I said because their kids claimed to have seen Iya Beji taking things from our cupboard.
Iya Beji was so ashamed, she denied the accusation, and while she was still in a heated argument with my mom ,Iya Beji told my mom that she will deal with me, she said that she will kill me for accusing and embarrassing her this way (she said this to the hearing of everyone).
           BUT I ONLY SAID THE TRUTH....

One month later, I became very sick that I was rushed to the hospital. After series of test, the doctor confirmed it was hepatitis, a nurse was assigned to me.
I was still taking my drip when the nurse injected drugs into the drip and believe me brethren, the moment that drug circulated inside my system, I began feeling hot....Nurse, it's like my insides is burning, am feeling hot...I shouted.
       The nurse nonchalantly told  us(my mom and I), that it's the drugs working and further remarked that I complain alot..
It became too much; mommy am dying , I began crying as I complained to my mom.
Don't worry, everything will be fine, the nurse said that it's the drugs working ..my mom consoled as she began praying for me.

But few minutes later, everything stood still...I saw my mom crying and holding my body, that was when I realized that I was no more...

Sympathizers started visiting, but the moment Iya Beji entered our parlour to sympathize with mom, my mom jumped like someone under an influence.
My mom held Iya Beji and started shouting'i thought you were my friend, how could you do this to me. You were there when people scorned me and called me barren, Iya Beji when you said that you will kill my daughter,  I thought it was mere words, Iya Beji why???my mom lamented .
 However, Iya Beji claimed she was innocent but my mom swore to seek for justice and the neighbors supported my mom.
Iya Beji was taken to the village council, all hands were pointing at her . Witnesses testified to have been there when Iya Beji said that she will kill me. Iya Beji pleaded, she even confessed to have been the one stealing and that was because her husband has been imprisoned abroad and  there was no other source to feed her kids but she declined killing, she said that those words were MERE WORDS.
Nobody believed her cry of innocence , even the holy book said that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh....the council concluded that Iya Beji will be stoned to death.

But I was watching and nobody is seeming me.
I was talking but no one can hear me .
_How do I tell them that Iya Beji did not kill me
_How do I tell them that they are avenging my death by killing an innocent woman.
_who will hear me when I shout that those words she said we're MERE WORDS
_How do I tell them that the drugs the nonchalant nurse injected into my drip was too powerful for my system.
_who will hear me when I tell them that I died due to the nurse carelessness and incompetency.
_ Iya Beji did not kill me but the nurse did.

An innocent soul was slayed to avenge my death..

I am the #bruisedpen and I am the best at what I do.
