‘How I sold my virginity for N10, 000’
« on: March 11, 2013, 07:27:33 AM »
 I still remember that very cold night of September 1,
the day I decided to sell my body even though I claim to
be a born again Christian. I did that because I was tired
and frustrated about my father’s constant nagging
because I was still single at my age. He made it look like
a sin to be single.
His constant nagging made me feel that God had
forgotten about me after all my years of serving Him. It
was frustrating still being a virgin and single at the age
of 36.
However, I sold my virginity to a man I don’t know, for a
common N10, 000. If only I had remained just a little
more patient at that time I would have married my God
ordained husband but I thank God for giving me a
second chance.
As a growing young woman, I had how I wanted my life
to play out. For me, I should be married at the age 25 to
the most loving and wonderful man on earth and be
done with child bearing at age 30 or 31 and watch my
children grow up with me. But like the saying goes, man
proposes but God disposes. I became a born again
Christian in my second year at the University of Lagos. I
was so deep into Christianity that all I had time for were
church programmes and my books. I had some
‘brothers’ who liked me but then I was not interested in
men because I felt they would be a distraction as I
wanted to focus on school and God alone.
I am the eldest of four children, three girls and a boy.
Our mother died about seven years ago and we were
left with our father. The truth be told, I am the only
Christian in my family, the others hardly go to church
but it seems everything moved on fine for them except
me. My two younger sisters got married to responsible
and wealthy men while I was still praying to God to give
me a husband. I had moments when all I did was to cry
myself to sleep because of my father’s attitude towards
me regarding marriage.
I had ‘brothers’ from church who asked for my hand in
marriage but the problem was that they all wanted to go
to bed with me first but that was not what I wanted. My
father believed that I was still single because of my
rules and standards; hence he decided to frustrate me.
Sometimes, when I get home from church, he would ask
the gateman not to open the gate for me which means I
had to go and sleep at any of my sister’s place.
Sometimes once I get home especially from church, he
would say, “Abigail, so where is the man you came
home with? You carry the Bible everyday yet you are
not married. You sister’s who do not even go to church
are married so what is the essence of carrying a Bible
every day? You better ask your sisters how and where
they got the men they got married to from so that you
too can toe that path. It got so bad that he complains
about whatever I do and this really worried me.
One day, precisely September 1, I took a rather drastic
decision which I still deeply regret. I said to myself,
“What has serving God and being a virgin at my age
benefitted me? I am still single and my father is
frustrating and making a mockery of me. I am tired. It is
all going to end this night, I want to be wayward
tonight,” I murmured. That night, I lied to my father that
I was going for a vigil; he looked at me from headto- toe
hissed and walked away. I found myself in front of a
brothel with some other girls as my heart was beating
so fast.
In less than 20 minutes, two men arrived in a jeep and
one said he was interested in spending the night with
me; he introduced himself as Gabriel while the other
man sat quietly as if he was disgusted with what his
friend was doing. He later introduced himself as Robert.
Initially, I was so scared but after we talked for a while, I
followed them to their room. Gabriel proposed to pay
me N10, 000 and I agreed. When we got to the hotel, it
was obvious that they had just come into the country.
I spent the night with Gabriel in his room and he was
surprised that I was a virgin. He asked me my age and I
told him. He shocked me when he said, “If at age 36 you
are still a virgin, then, you should have had more
patient and waited till your wedding night instead of
giving it away to a total stranger and for a mere
N10,000.” Tears dripped down my cheeks as if a sword
was being used to pierce through my chest. “Abigail, the
truth is that no matter what you are passing through in
the hands of your father, you should have exercised
more patient. But the truth is that if I was not already
married, I would have married you,” Gabriel
emphasised.
I left Gabriel’s hotel room feeling so sad and rejected. A
week later, Hannah, my friend in church came to pay
me a surprise visit at home. “Hannah, I can’t remember
the last time you came to my house,” I said. She smiled
and told me her brother who lives in the United Kingdom
just came into the country. “My elder brother just came
into the country. But Abigail what you don’t know is that
I have told him a lot of good things about you. One of
the reasons he is in the country is so that he will meet
you so that you people can talk. He said he is willing to
settle down within three months if you agree to marry
him.” At first I was happy but when I remembered what I
had done, tears rolled down my eyes. For Hannah, she
thought it was tears of joy that I was finally going to be
married whereas for me, it was tears of regret.
Three days later, Hannah called to inform me that she
had arranged for me to meet her brother in their house.
I was so eager to meet him, however when I got there I
prayed for the ground to open up and swallow me. I
discovered that her brother was Robert and he
recognised me instantly while I pretended never to have
seen him. “Brother Robert, meet my friend Abigail, the
woman I have been telling you about. I know you will
like her,” she stressed. “I have seen this face before.
Yes, she was the prostitute Gabriel picked up some days
ago,” he disclosed.
Hannah tried to tell him that he was mistaking me for
someone else but he was so sure of what he was saying
because I didn’t defend myself. At last, I told Hannah
what happened and she was so disappointed. Robert
told me, “I actually came to Nigeria because of you. My
sister wanted me to get married to you because she
likes and admires you so much. Hannah told me, you
are the best wife any man could ask for but I guess she
is wrong. As a born again Christian, you should have
held on firmly to God no matter the temptation,” he
emphasised. He told me to go back to God and ask for
forgiveness. He also opened up that he would have gone
ahead to marry me if I had slept with another man but
not his best friend, Gabriel who was already married.
I left there in tears and shame. Hannah told me he went
back to the UK about three days later disappointed and
heartbroken. Well, I know some ladies out there would
have done worse than I did, but I am not judging
anyone. My main concern is that parents should stop
tormenting and putting pressure on their unmarried
daughters because they would only push them to do
unimaginable things which they later regret in life and
find it very difficult to forgive them. It took me sometime
to forgive my father because I blamed what I did on him.
But just as Robert advised, I went back to God and
asked forgiveness and I am happy to say that God gave
me a second chance at marriage. I will be getting
married in a few weeks.
