Am based in the United Kingdom and a member of the Redeemed Christian
Church of God here in the UK. I am a 25-year-old Nigerian girl.
I
have lived in the UK for over five years, running into my 6th year
already. However, as it is generally held, “life is not always smooth
and straight” I understand that life, most of the time is full of ‘zig
and zag’ just like it’s characterized with ups and downs. My story is
not different after all. I have had my good times too, and I consider
this time as my most trying moment.
I am writing this note, not
exactly because I regret my action of taking full control of a married
Pastor, but because I have sensed something that is really not going to
work for me in the most positive way, if I keep this pregnancy. I don’t
regret my action because I understand that pastors too are human beings,
and have the same feelings like the rest of us. He slept with me, got
me impregnated; so what?
However, a little of the background will
give you an insight into how it all started. I understand that as human
beings, we cannot cheat nature. I’m one of the Choristers in the
church, and there is this magnet that pulls the pastor and I together.
It is like a magnetic force. However, he had explained to me in the most
pathetic way one day on how the wife had starved him of séx for months
all in the name of spirituality. He only said that passively anyway. He
also complained bitterly, while I listened with superlative attention on
how the wife hardly ever satisfy him on bed. I actually wanted to
satisfy him, as I’m such an emotional and considerate person. I am very
sure God won’t judge me negatively because of my kind gesture. I only
tried to satisfy a man who was dying of hunger, he was been starved of
séx and I had to leave spirituality behind to get him satisfied.
I
remember how it all started, and like a Hollywood movie, the scenes
reeled from one to the other and we had our fun in different hotels
after every church meeting. I must always wait for the Pastor who will
convey me to my house. After all, he is a pastor, and no one would
suspect that any ‘dirty’ romance was going on between us. He confessed
that I had made him feel like a man, and I was just proud of myself. I
will always node in exhilaration knowing very well that if I can satisfy
another man, then I can satisfy my man. This is something every young
lady should be proud of. I am not trying to patronize my action, but
only being reasonable about some sensitive séxual matters.
Yes,
we did, and since then, I have been excommunicated from the church. In
fact, the whole thing remained secret until he got me impregnated, and I
confronted him for an abortion. To my consternation, he refuted my
suggestion; he wanted me to keep the baby. I had moved against it. I had
given him reasons why I shouldn’t keep the baby. I don’t want to
jeopardize my dream of getting married at the age of 26 which is just
less than a year. I told him that I must get rid of the baby. But he has
vowed to sue me if I do. He is happy that at least what he had waited
for endlessly since he got married in 2000 has come to fruition as God
has finally opened the doors through me. Yes, he never had a child since
he got married, and age is really not on his side. I can’t get his
words off my head; “ I want this baby like yesterday” he said.
This
disagreement has put me in the public glare today as my close friends
whom I divulged the situation to, had reported the matter to the church
committee, and I have since been excommunicated. Everybody talks about
me as if I have done something so strange. My concern really is not
about what people are saying but to get a little piece of your advice on
whether I should keep the baby against my wish, or go for an abortion. I
know what I want but I still need your advice in order to justify the
action I’m about to take. In the next five days, I should be able to
take a major decision. Thank you for publishing my story.
