I've heard of the wrongs which have been done to you, I have read about them, I have seen some...but I have never felt any of these. Nevertheless, I relate with the situation. I understand the heart of a child, the innocence, the bright-eyed wonder, the hunger for love, the need for connection with someone or something... I once was a child and I craved these. However, you have been denied these through varying circumstances and you ache for something, anything to hold on to even as you spiral down the staircase of darkness.

Dear Ainih, precious flower, I read your story in the papers couple of days ago. I read of how you were molested by an uncle in whom you placed so much faith. NOW, YOU FEEL EMPTY and hate the world, your precious flower has been cut off from blooming and you just want to leave it all behind and go to the beyond. Stay with us Ainih, we acknowledge your pain and all that’s happened to you...stay, do stay with us.

Oluduro, your own father attempted to use you for ritual; he needed the blood of his only male child to extend his life-span. He had just gotten mega-rich after sacrificing your sister on the altar of greed. However, riches could not help make a deal with the Creator to extend his life span. He decided to sacrifice you but God, fate, whatever you choose to call it intervened when policemen got tipped off about the location of the ritual and got there in time to save you. Oluduro...stay with us. We acknowledge the pain and betrayal...do stay with us.
