Last month, a report the story of a 70-year-old widow, Maria, who was parading and fined in the village of Amauzu Nkpoghoro in Ebonyi State for having sex With a man of 30 years. Maria, in conversation with The Sun, finally told her own side of the story. Maria's granddaughter raised the alarm when she saw her grandmother with the man. However, Maria said she only sold alcohol to the man that night, when her granddaughter settled in her room.
She said,
I wouldn’t say whether I committed that crime or not. It is my bad grand-daughter who caused this public embarrassment to me because if she did not report to the community, I wouldn’t have suffered this type of public disgrace.
If she was a good granddaughter, the youths wouldn’t have rung the community bell which caused my disgrace; my grand-daughter would have shielded me if she was a good child.
My cell phone light was on and if I was having intercourse with the man, I would have switched off the phone but the light was on. So, my grand-daughter shouted and reported to her uncle that she saw a man having intercourse with me. From there, the matter was reported to the youths and to the entire community and I was sanctioned.
I have no problem with my granddaughter as to warrant her to report me to the community that I was having sex with a man. This is a year and three months I took her to my house to stay with me. She gave birth and I took her to my house to stay with me so as to take care of her and I didn’t know that doing so will cause me problem by monitoring me and every step I took.
Ever since I adopted my granddaughter, her husband doesn’t care how we are faring. It is even the man they said had sex with me that is taking care of her; at times, the man will buy uncooked foods including rice and some noodles and gave her to cook for him.
The man will just eat a little from the food and leave the rest for her. When my granddaughter’s baby was sick, it was the man who went into the bush and got herbs used in curing the baby.
Although, Mrs. Okon confirmed that Okpanu visits her at night, she explained that he only comes to buy alcoholic drinks.
“Yes, the man actually visits our house regularly. He stays till 12 midnight at times. That fateful Sunday they said he had sex with me, he came with his friend from Ozziza community and left at about 10:30pm after drinking some bottles of beer.
The man later came back to buy local gin which I was selling him when my granddaughter barged into my room with her own cell phone light and shouted that I was having intercourse with the man and started asking the man what he was doing with me.
I have actually offered the goat the community asked me to bring for what they said I did. I have to give the goat since it is what they said I should give according to tradition.”
Okpanu, Mrs. Maria’s alleged boyfriend was not punished because he is not an indigene of that community. According to the elders, if he were an indigene, he would also have been fined a goat. Did You ❤ ❤ this post? DROP A C.O.M.M.E.N.T ... spill TEA.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
