Good afternoon everyone, i wrote this story while i was in school but never published it, just modified the title, I hope you all enjoy it..
Amaka was the only educated person in her family, her father
was a carpenter while her mother sells food. Amaka passed her WAEC and JAMB examination
at a sitting; she filled University
of Lagos as her choice of
University to study Pharmacy.
Amaka resumed her new school with a high expectation of
graduating with a first class; little did she know that she was in for it.
Amaka was allocated to Moremi hall, with a very nice
roommate. However, during registration, amaka met Damilola, a 300level Pharmacy
student. Amaka was happy to meet Damilola because she was studying the course
of her choice and she was more expose than her. Damilola was mostly called “street
dogs” by her mates; she loved clubbing and was also a major in “sugar daddy
course”. Poor Amaka thought she had met a mentor.
Amaka spent most of her time with Damilola and like the
saying ‘that one cannot run away from ones habit”, Damilola began to show the
stuff she was made of. She invited Amaka for a party one day and Amaka accepted
the invitation. Little did Amaka know that Damilola had already organized a ‘sugar
daddy’ for her. Amaka got to the partly
elegantly dressed, her make up was so perfect, and she actually looked
beautiful that day. Amaka was introduced to Chief Ademuyiwa by Damilola; she
never understood that Chief Ademuyiwa was her date for that night. After the
first and second course meal, Chief became bored and wanted to enjoy every bit
of Amaka. Amaka was already drowsy; hence she followed Chief into the room he
had booked earlier. Amaka was innocent that she never knew that she was in for
it that night. On getting to the room, Chief Ademuyiwa started making some
funny moves, which Amaka was not comfortable with , she told him to stop , but
he was already aroused. Amaka started crying but couldn’t help her self. Chief Ademuyiwa
penetrated into Amaka, and oh , Amaka was still a virgin.
Amaka’s life was not the same after that night; she started
attending parties, had several man friends and was just “enjoying herself”
There is a saying that one day is for the thief and another
day for the owner. Amaka became ill and was admitted at the Lagos State
University Teaching Hospital, several test were conducted on her and Amaka was
diagnosed to be HIV reactive, “the owner has caught up with her”, and Amaka the
main girl now has to deal with her disease. Who infected her among the men was
her first thought, knowing the man doesn’t solve the problem. What will she do
now?
However, its very painful that we’ve neglected our
tradition, in the oldern days, when a lady get married, the parent always look
forward for a keg of palm wine signifying that the lady is virgin, ladies that
were not virgin were taken back to their parent homes.. While this practice was
inculcated, we never heard of veneral diseases, can we say that the advent of
veneral disease is a way that God is using to punish us.
If you really want to have sex, intend of seeing any person
to have sex with, go and marry, you might say that marriage as its ups and down
,I don’t want to marry, you then have to
pick one, is either you abstain from premarital sex or you get married.
Further more, innocent lives are endangered (unborn babies),
if you known that you don’t want to kill an innocent life, don’t venture into
sex.
Sexual promiscuity brings harm to every one concerned, one
that is sexually promiscuous is endangering his or her life to several veneral diseases
and most of them do not have a permanent cure and this can affect the person in
various facets if he attributes her failure to others. It pays to keep oneself.
