Lady who got pregnant at 11, kicked out by her dad but now married shares her amazing story

Facebook user, Uriemu Onome shared her amazing
story on Facebook. Read below…
“ My story goes thus, sometime 20
years ago, I was naïve and influenced by
peer pressure. My dad was and is still a
strict disciplinarian,mum on the other
hand was a bit soft on us and let us have
our way. She practically covered for and
took sides with me especially (being her
only daughter amongst 3 sons).
I got out of hand and starting moving with the
wrong set of friends, got pregnant at age 11
(primary 5) and then my whole world crumbled.
The harsh reality of life began to unfold as I had to
drop out of school, I couldn’t sit for my First
School Leaving Certificate Examination(FSLC).
People in my neighbourhood made mockery of me
my dad couldn’t bare it, so he sent me out of the
house and I had to go to the village to live with my
grandma. In order to survive and fend for myself
(as grandma isn’t working) I had to summon
courage and face my own devil, I knew I was the
cause of my predicaments and didn’t put the blame
on my mum or anyone. I started street hawking
selling all sorts ranging from tapioca (kpokpo
garri), roasted pork meat, roasted maggots, Madiga
bread, sachet water etc.
Few months later I had my baby,saved some cash
(through hawking) which I used to re-enroll for my
FSLC, I passed with a “merit”.
Still in the street hawking business, I saw myself
through secondary school, I was determined to
show my folks that I truly regretted my actions and
is now a serious child. Enrolled for WAEC cleared
all my papers likewise my JAMB and then gained
admission into the university.
When my dad saw how focused I had become, they
took my child and I back, sent me off to the
university and took care of my baby…..
To cut the long story short, I’m now a M.ed holder
from the University of Lagos State Akoka, a
successful teacher and happily married by His
grace. My son is currently a 200Level Law student.
Strangers thinks he’s my younger brother because
the age gap between us is so close, and he’s
growing taller by the day.
My son is my life, he’s the reason I am where I am
today as his presence into this world made me a
responsible individual. He’s my victory story, he
knows what I went through and is determined to
make me a proud mum
