My name is Adesewa. I was raised by God-fearing parents
who
were blessed with six girls. My parents were deacon and
deaconess in a pentecostal church. I happened to be theirthird
daughter, with three younger ones.
I had my HND at Yaba college of technology and was
posted to Kwara state for my youth service.
I had given my life to Christ since my secondary school
days, and I used to sing a lot, sometimes I even composed
my own song.
I joined d church choir when i was just nine years old.
After the 3 weeks orientation programme of d NYSC, Iwas
posted to a secondary school at Oyan for the one year service. I
was given a room in d school compound at d Corp members’
quarters.
On getting to Oyan, I started looking for a pentecostal
church where i could be worshipping, and soon I was able to find
one.
Shortly after I started worshipping in d church, I joined d
choir. Fortunately, it was at the time when d choir leader just
left the church and there was nobody to coordinate d
members..before I knew it, I was made the choir leader
after being interviewed by the pastor, Pastor Williams.
I was loved by everybody in d church, especially the
choiristers, because of my unique voice. Whenever I sang or
led a song, the whole congregation had a way of murmuring
“Huuuuunnnnn!” with a sigh of satisfaction when they heard
my voice.
Most of the choir members were younger than I was, so
they called me “Aunty” or “Sister Sewa”.
One of them was Bode, who used to play keyboard for us in
the church. He was so gifted when it comes to instruments,there
was no instrument he couldn’t play. I always felt d presence
of God whenever he was on keyboard.
Back to my background,
I was named Adesewa after my late grandmother, who
passed away shortly before i was born. My dad loved his mum so
much and hence transferred the love to me, believing that
his late mother was the one who came back, moreso, according to
him, I was the mama’s carbon copy. It was after he became saved,
that he knew he was wrong. My second name was Yetunde.
My dad saw me as perfect. Anything i did or said was
right, even when I myself knew I was wrong. In a nutshell, I
was his favourite.
When my mum noticed that daddy was treating me like the
apple of his eyes, she wasn’t taking things easy with me at all. She
spank me at every slight mistake I made, mostly when my dad
wasn’t at home.
Sometimes she would lament..”You this spoilt brat!. Your
father has spoilt u. See, I will make sure I deal with u before maggots
start coming out of your body….”
My two elder sisters too, also made life miserable for me,
especially,the first born, sister Temi. She would never
tolerate any nonsense from me, she took after mummy, but her own
was just took much.
By the time I was serving, sister Temi and sister Tiwa had
got married, but I have been tamed already.
So what happened to me???
