QUEEN OF THE NIGHT.
By chayoma
she walked into the street, with the full blare of the street
lights directly on her, she walks on without a care in the world,
as passers-by glare at her trying in vain to get an eye contact,
as she walks by. an old model santana
car beeps for her attention, she throws a glance at the man on
the wheel & walks on, she prefers to eat from the pot
than the plate, before she got to the end of the street,
a bora 2008 model car stopped beside her, she walks up
to the car, bent towards the wound down glass & peered
into the car, she gazes into the eyes of a handsome looking young
man, she bargained with the man, got into the car & the
man zoomed off.
amina, is an hausa beauty who got married at 13 years old to a man of 50 years. she was the third wife of mallam husseini, who her parents bethrothed her to when she was a child of 2 years. amina stayed in that marriage for 10 years, giving birth to 4 kids, within that period. mallam husseini loved her the most of all the other wives, because she was the youngest & prettiest of them all, this elicited some jealousy from the other wives who tried to surpress, dominate & maltreat amina especially whenever their husband went on a long journey, which was often.
when amina was 23 years old she ran away from her matrimonial home & went into a brothel, she stayed there for some months then relocated to kaduna where she practiced her new found trade more effortlessly. she got tired of kaduna, then relocated over to the big city abuja. amina continued wallowing in the fantasies of the flesh & making her dough & livelihood through that.
ngozi was a student of gssl high school, she had the best upbringing, her parents provided enough for her & her kid brothers, they were just three kids & she was the only girl & the eldest. on the 3rd of february, 1998, her parents travelled to their home town, to witness the wedding ceremony of her mother's younger sister, on their way back to the city, the parents had a fatal accident & died at the spot. ngozi was inconsolable & distraught, eventually, she pulled herself together for the sake of her kid brothers.
ngozi was 18 years old when her parents died & she became both mother & father to her two kid brothers, her uncle tried to see her through her final year in high school & that was the best he could do for her, he told her. she got a job at age 20 & tried to make ends meet to send her kid brothers to school, she was able to save some money, got a room apartment & moved in with her brothers, since her uncle's wife was not pleased with the arrangement of she & her kid brothers staying with them.
when she couldn't cope with the bills alone, both paying for the house rent, feeding three mouths & training her kid brothers in school, she combined both the office job with walking the streets in the night, to make ends meet. she would go to work in the morning, when she comes back in the evening, she feeds her brothers, assists them with their home work, rests a little, then hits the streets.
philomina was a girl of 15 years old who ran away from home, because her step mother was always hitting her & leaving ugly marks on her body, philo had tried to talk to the father about the ill treatment but it all fell on deaf ears, with the father doing nothing to control the ugly situation. she ran away & went into a brothel, where she still is presently.
well, who is the innocent one that can cast the first stone? many times we come across such cases in our society & we are always the first to crucify & condemn these innocent souls, who thought they have no other choice but to walk the streets, to survive. in what way do we show love & care to these ones? is it right for us to always cast the first stone without trying to find out, what the situations are that could have pushed these ones into the cold, lonely night, as queens of the night?
let's show some care to these ones, some of these ones are truly stranded, they can't help themselves, let's try in our own little way & show some care, instead of condemning them, condemn the act & not the individual, they have feelings too & they are human. don't condemn them.
PLEASE, SHOW SOME LOVE.
