Some of us cannot take rejection. Some of us do not know that the words we say can make someone feel rejected forever. But in the way it worked for me, it was different. What Yoruba called akanda, a special child, appointed child. OK, so you must have heard
Before where I shared on the stage saying I was born out of rape. And I grew up with my great grandmother, where everybody in the compound in the area will call me bastard. So I grew up hearing that you are a bastard.
I grew up seeing my aunties come to give grandma money for feeding. And they would tell grandma, I need to tell my love, and my mother told me a little bit, oh, we are not saying you should use this money to take your own bastard child. We are saying you should use.
Its to take care of yourself, buy yourself a medicine. And my mom would say, OK, once they leave, my mom would turn to me and my mom would speak in pidgin. You don’t hear what’s in your aunties, they talk. And naso this world be, now your own people.
Suppose to be your mama blood pedato. But they don’t tell you who you be. If you like, grow up, forget yourself. Say, person wey no do well, nobody go celebrate am. And my mom would turn to me and say again in Isha, we be rhombimeta. Can you hear ?
What I’m saying? I’ll say, me rhombimeta. My mom would say, eh -heh. But I realized that every time I offend mama, mama would not want to touch me because they warned mama not to beat me. Imagine a child that the mother gave birth to and the mother is feeling ashamed because everyone in the area, I don’t know what to do.
So the shame, my mother didn’t know what to do or to run to, according to what she told me. So sometimes she would just carry me without Nemo. She would be looking for where to eat.
So one day she went to Makoko. She heard that there’s this church in Makoko where they share food for free and fruit. And that was this Celestial Church, open 24 hours. So she would go there just to collect food and so she can press the banana and put it in her mouth.
She said one day she was in the church when a big pastor according to them that i discovered later Papa Oshoffa was passing and said i am looking for someone she was at the back of the church trying to give the baby something when Papa Oshoffa came he said who is this ? We don’t know you in this church and he asked what is the name of this child ? i have not given her a name Papa said how old her you ? She mentioned and said who is the first person that helped you ? She said her name is Helen then Papa Oshoffa said that is the name you should give to her that this child (Helen Paul) don’t joke or play with her because she has a great destiny.
Papa Oshoffa said, you can give her other names as you like but helen is her first name and that what she should bare.
Comedian Helen Paul narrated in a live tv show talk to share her experience.
