SURROUNDED : Episode 1 – The End

SURROUNDED

EPISODE 10

I was under the dew naked as instructed by the prophetess when the spirits came again. I quickly got up. I knew i was naked, abandoned alone at the back yard. I stretched out my hand to where my boxer is. Atlist, lemme manage and where boxer. The spirits brought out long whip. They were many. They started flogging me. I was shouting. I didn’t know when i ran to the front of the building NAKED. I met the members outside praying. Immediately i ran out shouting, everyone of them ran away too.

I was running round the building. The prophetess was running after me and her ushers too. The whip was severe . Marks all over my body. The prophetess asked for salt. She pointed to the direction they where and truly, that was the direction they were. She poured salt and made some prayers and also sprinkled some water. I saw them varnish. Immediately they vanished, that was when the pain of the whip increased. It felt like hot pepper mixed with ginger was poured on me. I was crying and shouting.
I heard the prophetess say, “HOLY SALT WILL HEAL THE WOUND” i knew i was in for serious pain. I tried to runaway, the ushers held me. They started singing one song i can’t remember. Prophetess started applying holy salt. I went mad. I can remember i had to bite one of the ushers and i received a dirty slap in return. I was in so much pain that tears was tired of me. I lost my voice to crying and shouting. The prophetess locked me in a room. It took a whole day for the severe pain to seize. The pains finally stopped and truly the brusies from the whip started to heal.

Prophetess told me i broke the great calabash of iya jibiti. So the spirits in the calabash do not have any place of abode anymore. They are angry. They said you must provide their calabash. She said the calabash can only be found in the caves of the spirits. To get it by money, it’s 500thousand naira only. 500thousand i heard made me deaf and dump instantly. Then she dropped a bombshell. She said she will pay for all the expenses to get back the calabash but i must “MARRY HER” If i marry her, i will be free from IYA JIBITI. She will help me against her calabash spirits. I started crying. I looked at the prophetess, my mother was very much younger than her. I looked at her again. I started crying. She said i should think about it. She only caged the spirits for a while, they will return in full force and this time, I WILL DIE. She left the room.

My decision was, i will never marry her, never. I rather die. I thought of all i have been through. My siblings don’t ask of me, my father doesn’t care, nobody to help me. My thoughts almost made me accept the offer. I shouted NOOOOOOOO, i will not. The door opened, THE PROPHETESS !!!! She said she came to spend time with her HUSBAND -TO-BE. Out of curiousity, i asked who? She pointed to me. She said “IT HAS BEEN LONG” i asked what? She said are you a baby? She came close, i shifted. She was trying to force herself on me when an usher called her “MUMMY PROPHETESS she shouted, HOLY!!!! And the usher replied “AND SO SHALL IT BE. The usher told her some people from the local government are there to see her. She hurriedly left. I took a bucket and went outside, pretending i was going to fetch water. I still had pains from the whip but i was determined to get out of that place.

It was about 6pm the next day. I ran away from the prophetess. I was tired of life. As i sat by the road, some church people came by and was sharing fliers. They said PROPHET OJIOKU (he who holds fire) is having a crusade. I collected the flier and saw multiple testimonies. I even saw similar cases like mine. I decided i must attend the crusade.

I haven’t seen the spirits from iya jibiti since i left the prophetess. Prophet OJIOKU was just giving prophecy and telling people what they were going through and who was responsible for their problems. I struggled to the front so he can see me and he did. He walked up to me
and shouted. He said HEEEEEEEY, God forbid. What is your name ? I answered OGUGUA OR DANIEL. He said ” i am seeing shrine. I am seeing, three men in the shrine. I see snakes. I am not understanding young man”

I was already shaking.
He continued

“im seeing hair in calabash. Money is burning. Young man, i see you in that shrine. there’s a man standing between you and the native doctor. Who is that man?

I replied, my father. Hmmmm, he said? Did you offend him? I replied no. Are you the first son i replied No, i am the last born. The man shouted again. Then he said to me, UNTIL YOUR FATHER DIES, YOU WILL NEVER BE FREE. If you want i will send death to him. He has finished you. YOU ARE THE MONKEY THAT WORKS FOR BAMBOO TO GET FAT. Then he shouted again,”CALABASH” . He sighed, young man, your problems are many. YOU ARE SURROUNDED .

Prophet faced another person leaving me confused with his prophecy. I waited behind to see him and he told me in clear terms who was behind my problems.

MY FATHER!!!!!

The prophet said, SPIRITS ARE AFTER YOU ..THEY ARE ALMOST CLOSE. GO AND GET ME 7 BOTTLEs with sand. GET READY, WE SHALL CONFRONT YOUR FATHER!!!!!
