Hello, beautiful souls, it is another Saturday and I am excited as always. If there is one thing I have learnt this week, it is to be strong no matter what happens and always have it at the back of your mind that there are people who will only stay with you when things are rosy and smooth or probably when they need help, but the moment you have a little challenge, they are off and they will not even give a second look.
Alright, that is, by the way, I don't want to bore you with the things running through my mind this morning, so I will just quickly get to what we have to deal with today. But before then, I will like to give you feedback on last week's programme.
About Last Week.
Last week was an exciting one because we had a lady to help for the very first time and she was excited to see the reaction but one thing I noticed from my conversation with her is that, she was not willing to loosen up or let go.
She does not mind, if she has to be the one to keep calling or if she has to be the one to give all the attention, I guess she is just so stiff-necked to keep 'managing' the young man even if he obviously does not have her time any longer.
Although, I am still going to try all I can to help her out because from my findings, she is really young and I think she is just obsessed and since I will want no regret at all for her, I will have to continue pushing.
So I want to say thank you all for your support, I am really grateful for the words of encouragement and for the love shown, words fail me right now, but I just want you to know that this is coming from a grateful heart.
STRAIGHT TO THE GIST FOR TODAY.
When you hear Nigerians sing ''if you ask me, na who I go ask'' that is the way tody's story is oh. It is one that has left me helpless and speechless, but I know that with your help I will be able to provide a solution.
The individual that came to me this week came on behalf of her friend, she told me that she is in a confused state and she wants to look for every means to save her dear friend.
From the way she spoke to me, it was very obvious that she loved her friend so much and she will do everything possible to help her friend, I asked her to relax because I have very wonderful and intelligent minds over here who are ready to help out. I will just allow her to speak for herself
Hello, my name is Lizzy and I have a pretty friend that I like very much, we have been close friends from the time we got into the university and I like her very much until she meet with this young man she told me she was in love with.
After some time, she moved in with him and they both started living what we call 'couples life' and I felt I need not bother her since it was the path she choose and she was obviously looking happy.
I, however, realized that she started missing lectures and whenever I try to talk to her, the only response I get is that, she is okay and there is nothing wrong with her.
One faithful day, she came to my house and she was crying, I took her in immediately and I noticed scars on her body, I was really worried as to what the problem could be? I thought she was robbed until she told me that the person she calls her lover has been beating her.
She went further to say that sometimes, he will lock her inside the house and he will go out because he feels he does not want any other person to share his woman with him and that is the reason why she does not come to class most times.
The habit of beating comes up when he gets drunk or maybe he is just frustrated, she told me that he will beat her and then have sex with her against her own will. The most annoying part of the whole story is that the lady (my friend) spends the money because the guy is not from a rich family and my friend is from one.
After she told me all that, I made her promise to break up with him and she moved in with me, I thought that was the end of the drama and I was happy as I watched her forget about him and refuse to pick his calls. Until one day, she told me she wanted to get to a friend's house and I didn't see her for two days, I was really worried, I kept on calling and calling until she finally picked up her phone and she told me that the young man has apologized and she has moved in with him again.
I was speechless and I could only wish her well and now I just found out that the young man is also a cheat and a flirt. I know that my friend is in a big mess and she just looks really blind to everything going on around her, and it looks as if her future might be at stake if something is not done fast.
I found out that he still beat her some days back but because he apologized she stayed again, my slim pretty friend is now looking like a woman in her 30's because she has practically been turned into a sex slave, a punching bag, an ATM machine and a maid.
So please I need advice on what could be done to help save my friend.
MODERATOR'S REMARK
So, that is the story we have for today, I don't know if you are as speechless as I am right now, but I trust your judgment on this one because I am sure that you are smart and amazing. I can't wait to start getting the response on this one because I am really ready to learn and I hope to help Lizzy save her friend from the mess she has gotten into.
MESSAGES.
@olamisexy: This is to ladies who like to dominate in their relationships, ladies have to learn to be submissive and not try to dominate over their partner and even try to raise their hands on them because we now have some who slap and even beat up their partners which is really wrong.
@steve1122: Personally, I think Ladies should be able to express their feelings if you like a guy feel free to tell him and stop waiting for him to come to you first, hence you might die in silence.
