A true story of how she was transformed from being almost a thug.
This story I am about to share with you have a big impact on my life because anytime I remember this experience, I would be grateful to God because it was what made me leave my parent and stayed with my aunt where the transformation began in my life till this moment. I wouldn't stop appreciating God for who I am today because my Aunt had her own quota in shaping my life to an extent before things went wild along the way.
Life is indeed a journey and as we keep going, we have to learn many lessons and experiences so we can have something to hold onto.
Right after secondary school, I grew wings that I just wanted to satisfy my desires without minding what my parents want for me. I was acting big girl without nothing. Then, I didn't know they were after the best for me but because of how selfish I was to myself, I thought they were being harsh and because of that, I became so stubborn and disobedient. It got to a point, my dad had to wonder if he married a second wife because I acted as one to my mom. We never had some silence in that home especially when my mom crossed my path. I am always a humble child to every parent outside but was the opposite at home. I was a stone-headed girl as I did whatsoever I wished to.
Though, I fear my Dad to an extent but for my mom? There is nothing she can do even though, I still pity her sometimes because that woman did a lot for us, but I wasn't in the right frame of mind to understand that.
We have always been warned never to move close to any guy but the smart Princess would always have her way secretly while I bribed the last born of the house never to say anything to my parents. I became the girlfriend of the boss of the thug around our shop and because of this, whenever the junior thugs see me, they hail and call me Iyawo skalolo, meaning skalolo's wife. That was a nickname given to my thug boyfriend. Everyone respected this guy in the whole area and they accord the same respect to me too.
There was a day my mom seized my phone from me. This has always been a custom of my parents. Whenever I did something bad, they seize my phone, just because they bought it for me. They will give me back when I pretended to be a good girl for a few hours. We were both smart but my smartness was to commit something bad and not in the right way especially not being smart in my studies. This was what affected my grade when I was in school as I got an F parallel in all my subjects in WAEC.
They seized my phone this day and that got me angry and went to meet my boyfriend where he was. I explained everything to him and immediately, he ordered one of his boys to give me a phone. It was a new phone and I was so happy. Many times, he would go to an eatery to get me meat pie and ice cream, I enjoyed myself with him during that period.
I collected the phone, thanked him and went back to my mom's shop. I have been hiding this phone from them until one day, my mom saw it and asked who gave me the phone, I didn't say anything. She got upset and snatched the phone from me. As soon as she snatched it from me, I began monitoring her so I could collect what belongs to me. She was attending to a customer and when I saw she was being carried away talking to the customer, I snatched her bag, removed my phone and threw the bag on the chair and ran away.
I ran to my boyfriend who took me with him to his house. I never knew what I was doing at that moment and didn't realize I was toying with my future. My dad travelled that day which was on a Friday which I can still remember today. I didn't return home until Sunday evening when my brother who knew where I was came to inform me.
My mom narrated everything to my Dad. Though she was blamed for not taking care of me and the other siblings well. I returned home feeling guilty. The beating I got from my dad that night reset my brain for a while because I still made up my mind about doing the worst had it been my dad didn't take the step of calling his younger sister and explained all to her. My aunt asked if he could bring me to Ibadan the next day.
The next day came. I took my bath and didn't know that was the last day I would live with them and the last day I would set my eyes on my sweet thug boyfriend. My dad didn't say anything to me but secretly took a few of my clothes, took me to the bus stop and forcefully carried me inside the bus and I landed in another state.
That day changed everything about me completely and I came to realize how foolish I have been for associating with a guy whose future wasn't clear. I could have been his wife and suffered forever if not for the action my dad took immediately that day.
Till today, if anyone calls me Skalolo's wife, I get angry and warn them never to call me that again because then, I didn't know what I was doing. Now, I am a changed person who is opportune to live a life of grace and being on Hive has really helped me today. I still miss my mom today because I owe that woman a lot. Though she couldn't control us, she and my dad tried their best to give us the best but I was just not contented and wanted more than my age.
Thanks for your time on my blog.
😄😄
Iyawo Skalolo!!
Mama for the boys🙌
What I am wondering is the way Skalolo may have gone mad. What happened to his babe that she just disappeared without no trace?? Na him boys go suffer am😄
Are you now saying that you have not returned home since then? How long has it been now?
Na beat you dey fine oo, my hand and leg Sha nor dey😁😁
My hand no dey there oo😅
You wee collect if she see your handwriting
🙄🙄😅😅😅
Skalolo was detained in the station for two days by my Dad after he knew he was the one who took me in. It wasn't funny.
I kukuma visited my parents after two years and then, I have changed and started acting strange to Skalolo and his gangs. He was surprised but he has no choice because he wasn't my type again. 😂😂😂
Oh, wow. That's serious.
Too bad for Skalolo, but really good for you and your new bobo.
Hehehe. Abi na
Hahah😂😂😂.
She served Skalolo an unaware breakfasts😂. And I've been imagining also how Skalolo handled the whole scenario
I don't think he would have found it funny at that time. I wouldn't have, if I had been him. But, oh well. Such is life! He should have moved on
Wetin you go do if you were him? 😂😂😂 Come find me where I dey?
Omor this story pure oo
If not for God Sha nothing would have changed you i can relate...I didn't stay with my parents but my Aunt get headache from me Sha. At that moment they finish beating me what will be on my mind will be to do double
I normally say to myself (YOU GO BEAT TAYA NA) but it was later i realized I was just being stupid for nothing... My dear nothing like a calm life i swear, nobody can point accusing fingers if you weren't at the crime scene... We hope for the best dear, I'm happy for you honestly ❤️🤗❤️
Hahaha... You sef stubborn right from time 😂😂
Then, we were only being stupid and it was until we grew up, we realize how foolish we have been. Thank God for the experiences though and we are talking about them today and grateful for our lives.
Yesoo, really good experience and I'm happy i experienced it when there was someone to correction me right there unlike some people that practices theirs when they only have opportunity to be in higher institution... No monitoring or corrector
Life is indeed a ground for knowledge
Life is a ground of knowledge indeed.
Some learn smoothly others learn the rough way and some never learn at all
That is life for you. Everyone will always fall in those 3 categories.
We just hope we don't mistakenly or ignorantly fall on the wrong one
I never realized why I liked calling you mama until today. 😂😂😂😂.
Jokes apart sha, thank God for your father, a young girl going about her life as she pleased isn't a good thing. Well I think sometimes we feel controlled by our our parents only to understand that they were only trying to help us. Look at you now
First of all, I am sorry my reply is coming late..... Been inactive but I am back now.
Hmm 😂😂😂 Maybe I will accept that from you then. Lol
Yes, we thought our parents weren't kind to us then but they wanted the best actually. We grew up to realize that and we are grateful for that. Thank God for me today. I wouldn't have forgiven myself 🙂
Thanks for your comment.
Hmm, this story is deep and touching, thank God for your life and you parent that took a drastic and needed decision at that time before it became worst, many young girls in that position didn't see the light or have a second chance, I'm glad you did and can even mentor younger girls with this your story.
Thanks for sharing.
Not many girls would see the light just like mine. I think it was just grace. Thanks sis.
What a story, I sincerely bless God for your life. I probably wouldn't have met this amazing person you are if your dad didn't do what he did for you.
Neither would I have known you too. Thank God for my Dad too
Iyawo skalolo, hehe,
I'm glad you retraced your step, the most important thing now is you've changed.
Your parents would be so proud of you.
Oya come and teach me to do that thing that divided each paragraph (princess busayo design)
😂😂. I am sorry my reply is coming late. Someone helped me to do the line divider because I can't do it. Perhaps you should ask someone who can design something like that too.
Ah! Is this truly your story? Coz I'm finding it very hard to believe that you got f9 parallel in waec o, this intelligent Princess I know? Omo, your past was truly dark but thank God you finally stepped into the light. If not for your dad that moved you to a new city, maybe you would have been a high level thug by now. God forbid sha
My past was dark but I thank God for the light. I never focused in my studies then and didn't realize how valuable WAEC was. No one to enlighten me on it which made me took it with levity hands. But thank God for today.

Change is inevitable. God has special plans for everyone and as time goes on though we might be the worst persons but he will by his mercies orchestrate something to bring us to the right path.
The youthful age is full of strength, I won't blame you for all those foolish acts
I believe you were a teenager then, a young secondary school girl at that age in this kind of society we are in would love to explore the world. Your mom has tried but when teenagers are set for something it only takes prayers to change their hearts. The teenage stage is the stage of prayer and kind verbal corrections . If any parent pushes it beyond this the child might go out of control. The best time to inculcate morals is when the person is still a child. Though some children will always be stubborn even if you open their head and burry a Bible there.
I have a younger sister who is currently at that stage, previously I used to seize her phone and beat hell out of her but I realized that each time I do that I worsen the situation so I stopped, what I do now is call her, sit her down and speak sense into her head. Then I allow her to make her choice. Choice is a personal thing, but the effects might reach our children. No matter what we do we can not choose for anyone.
Behind every change there's a story , behind every change there's always also a person. Your parents did the best thing, though they were a bit harsh but they really played a vital role in changing your life. Thanks for the new you.. I love this smart princess 😁😁. Former iyawo skalolo😁😁
Hmmmm... What an insightful comment from you.... I love those words you used.
This is why I believe the scripture where it says God knows the thought He has for us. Thought of good and not of evil, to give us an expected end. I love this passage so much and I believe God will always work things out to suit His plan for our lives.
Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
When a child grows up without proper and good morals, it is only prayer that can change such child. My aunt tried her best taking me to church. I met my mates who were doing better and that was when I chose to be better too so that my life would be the best. Thank God for today.
Thanks so much 🤗
Hmmm.. thank you so much for the compliment ma, 🥰🥰.. the word of God should be the basis of our lives if we truly want to live well and in the right way.
Aunties like unto yours are rare we thank God for bringing her into your life.🥰
If a child doesn't have proper training at home, it only takes prayers like you said to bring such a person back. This our world I full of evil
Thank you for sharing this with us ma.. I love you big time💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
A world full of evil indeed and it takes the grace of God for a child to also receive proper training and adhere to it too. Thank God for my auntie then. I still cannot imagine how life would be for me if I had gone the wrong route. Thank you for reading.
Happy new week and I hope you are ready for it?
You are welcome ma, I am ready o, in God's hands Sha hehe
May God help us all.
Amen ma💓💓💓
Area mama🙌🙌... Two hands for one mama... I hail ooo gracious mama
Hahahaha... You are making me blush 😂😂
Hehe... You should for being better dear...😍😍
What a story!!😅
Omo you get mind to share this story with us oo😅😅.
It is normal shaa, teenagers always think they know it all and you can't tell them anything.
As if they've been through every stage of life, they too get coconut head.
I remember when my younger sister used to say she will get married before me, immediately she turns 20😂. Aunty is 19 now and in school, she doesn't even know what she would do if she were to find herself inside her husband's house.
Your parents are amazing and must have been very patient with you. It is well.
Thank God you're smarter now and can see what your parents were trying to avoid for you.
Thanks for sharing this and being vulnerable with us.
Hehehe. As teenagers then, we don't know what we are doing then. Not until we started growing up and realizing we have been acting foolish all these while but thank God for the good parents we have who didn't relent and were being patient with us.
Thanks for reading through 😊
Stupid things we have do for love🤣🤣🤣 or us thinking we are in love😅😅.
My dad is also fond of seizing my phone anytime i Annoy him back then. We all think we are controlled when stuff like that happen but it’s all for our own good.
Thank God you are doing fine now and you didn’t end with that kind of guy and that’s all thanks to your parents.
Life is indeed a Journey with many experiences Thank God for the Better version of princess
Reading from @dreemport
Yes oo
Thank God for my life today. Thank you 😊
Forever Faithful 🙏
You are highly welcome 😁😁
Wow Wow Wow!
Pretty wee Princess was effectively a thug!
Damn I would never have guessed, well they say beware of the sweet innocent ones.
So this is why Busayo has Princess as an upgrade to Iyawo skalolo
😂😂😂😂I love that Pretty wee Princess...
😅😅 You are so funny, Teng! At least I dropped the name when the transformation began 😁😁
hehe Pretty wee Princess you like eh. maybe that should be your nick!
What a story!! It was as if I was seeing a movie because I couldn't just help but picture the whole thing, haha.
Sometimes we just chose to be stubborn because we think we are punishing someone little do we know that it was our self we were punishing.
I'm happy your father was able to give you wisdom through the rod, hehe. I can't imagine what would have become of you if you had continued living that life you wanted.
Keep being a good lady that you are, it's a good thing those old days have gone and you have learned. Dreemport brought me here to say Hola, hehehe
