Fendie In Africa
so after the doodoo flinging deal and homeboy from Bulawayo setting things straight, I cooled down for a min. we finally hit the Atlantic and everything was cool, they got kids running up and down the boat, chicken and goats making weird noises, women in african diggs cooking and selling all kinna African deal all over the place..Yemisie brought some fried stuff made with black eye peas called ahkarah, I didn't care for so passed and pulled out my beef jerky from 7/11..I got tons of it in my back pack.Things got quiet like around 11pm and the boat was rolling down the Atlantic all slow..I'm siting there asking myself how long is gonna take to row this freaking boat to Africa? So some folks decided to start telling stories and the first story almost got me crying, that ish shook the hell out of me..danm.I felt so sorry for homegirl...she's from New Mexico and it was her first trip back to Africa in like 20yrsk, she left Nigeria @ 16yrs old. She was born in a lil village called Iperu Remo like about 65 miles north of lagos. she was 9 when her parents died, her wealthy hunter/farmer father's life was snuffed out by a python and her mother succumbed to cancer of the breast 2 yrs later, she went to live with her uncle in Ijeboo Igboh. her uncle inherited all her fathers property including farm land, live stock and houses. He promised to protect and look after her.Things changed quickly after arriving @ her uncle's house, he has 2 wives and 8 kids. she was responsible for cooking, cleaning the house, feeding the animals and washing from dawn till dusk...Basically, she was the savant, her uncle kids and wives screems out orders for her to do stuff 24/7, her life was nothing short of nightmare and her uncle was the ultimate monster, he beats her needlessly and locks her up in the back house where he raped her continuously for 2yrs..@ one time she got pregnant and he tried to hide her and the pregnancy from his wives and kids, he forced her to drink some home made abortion drink, she bled for 2 months. she ate animal feed and drank her own urine to stay alive. Her uncle was penniless just 4 yrs after inheriting her fathers wealth...he sold of he farm land, live stock and houses to support his family and lifestyle and rich man status in the village........To be continued::
