THE STORY OF THE LIFE OF PENIEL EMMANUEL.

Hi everyone my name is peniel Baribote Fubara Emmanuel am from Nigeria, a native of Rivers state, my local government is Abua/odual. Am a female and am the only female child. My mom gave birth to three beautiful children which an inclusive in and am the only girl. Well this story is literally about my whole life story and how my life have been and how it's going. I know that the day I was born celebration filled the air, after my senior brother was born ,3 years later I was born and it was a wonderful day in my family's life who would have thought bad experiences would happen. I celebrated my first , second,third , fourth,fifth,sixth, seventh birthdays. On the 8th birthday it wasn't celebrated,my father is an average citizen we were comfortable, like we eat whatever we want to eat and went to one of the best private schools as of that time,we lived in a public compound,where we had other tenants,some where married ,some where single and some single parents. As I clocked 8 years it was a wonderful thing because I started growing up faster, little did I know that the worst was about to happen. There was this neighborhood 2 doors away from my door ,they are married couples,but the lady invited her younger brother over to stay with them for the holidays, little did we know that he didn't just come for a holiday but instead he came to start staying with them permanently until he's able to secure a house for himself. This young guy was in his late twenties or thirties,very vibrant young guy,he was calm and good in the compound that he claimed to love children as of this period my senior brother attended a boarding school; meaning that he wasn't staying with us due to a boarding system is that the students lives in the school premises. This guy wanted to be close to I and my younger brother so bad that he made good points to my mom by proving that he's a good person and that he doesn't mean any harm which didn't actually show,with time we started going to stay in his house because his sister and her husband weren't around most of the times and neighbors were always around when we went there. But on this faithful day something terrible happened,that day my mom went to the market to buy goods so that she can be able to stock up her shop, so this uncle told I and my younger brother to come to his house and stay for a while till my mom is back from the market which we agreed ,so we went and her sent my brother message to go get him something, while my brother left this uncle came closer to me than expected and started touching me in inappropriate places in my body and I tried to shout and told him to stop ,but he pulled out a gun from the cupboard close to the bed,as of that time people weren't in the compound because they are plans that day so he threatened me not to shout and then he raped me and after raping me ,he threatened me again never to tell anyone because if I did he would kill I and my whole family which I got scared and I kept quite and it went up till I was nine years old. My mom didn't notice anything because I bathed my self. On this day ,God really wanted to expose him ,our windows were in another person's compound, and his window was where the Tap ( running water) was kept, people go there to fill up there empty gallons. Some of my childhood friends came to fetch water and witnessed what had happened and they didn't make a noise ,I and the uncle didn't notice them ,so they told their mom's, instead of their mom's to come tell mine ,they started spreading the rumors around the streets , everyone knew about it and isolated me. Meanwhile my mom knew nothing about it because my mom doesn't have much friends she had only one lady then and she's married with two kids that's seniors us ( I & my siblings). The lady heard the rumors,and invited I and my mom over and asked me if anyone has touched me before And I lied and told her no ,my mom was so surprised by the question but she kept quite and observed,so the lady went ahead to spill the bin ,by telling my mom that I was raped, assaulted and molested for one year under her watch and she's didn't know. My mom was surprised and couldn't believe her ears and she flogged the hell out of me that day, I can't ever forget what happened that day never. So my mom went to confront the boys senior sister and her husband,which they were surprised because they we're busy people. He learnt that the stuff he did has started spreading so he left ,so I was taken to the police station where some medical tests were carried out on me and was discovered that I wasn't lying about the whole incident. They took my statement and that of my mom and gave me medications for my treatment. Many mother's warned their daughters never to talk to me that am a bad influence and a bad luck to them. It was so painful that I had no friends ,even my childhood friends refused to talk to me or play with me , I stayed indoors for a long while,till the guy decided to return back to the compound, thinking that by that time everywhere was calm and the news would have died off by then. So when my mom heard he was coming she called the police ,they were on their way , I was outside,my mom was talking to the lady and her husband. The police arrived and our compound gate was locked so that he won't escape,but he ended up escaping by jumping over a high fence ,he flew away and he's sister started begging my mom
