Hello hive community
My Name is USULOR AMABRITSEDUYE JANET
I am from Delta state warri north, a place in West Africa Nigeria.
I am the last child of my mother and the second to the last child of my father,
my father Married My Mom and gave birth to my eldest sister and then gave birth to the second and I became the third
My father was angry and when my mother gave birth to me
Because My Mom did not give birth to a male child. It's a Costom here in Nigeria that a typical average family , must first have a Male child to carry on the family name as the girls are considered strangers and would be married away.
I'm quite skilled in different things, which is quite necessary for the survival of an average Nigerian. 😂.
I never had that father's love As a little child so my mother took care of me while she's she left me for my grandmother and go to search for manial jobs. as time pasted I grew up in the village of my mother so when I grew up I was brought up from the village to township where my aunt used to live with my other cousins so as they were going to school I had the opportunity to go with them as I grew up. But then my story of going to school soon came to an end ,🥲
Like I mentioned earlier I'm quite skilled in different things
I can sew cloths I sew My wears and my children wears
I can also bake cake, cookies
I also have decorating ideas
I can also braid hair
I braid my.kids hair the smaller ones of course😊😊.
I met my husband at Benin river where we go to trade goods and also to buy goods
On a certain day we heard that a particular boat is coming to that area so people went there to wait for them on waiting for the house boat we said let's play a game.who will you marry,other girls said I would marry the driver I playfully said I would marry the camp boss soon the boat arrived every body shouted for Joy they saw the boat from a far distance but when it came closer everyone said what kind of boat is this, everyone was disappointed in the boat. some were happy including me so I ask them what are their names and they said call us any name in the Bible but I secretly asked who is the camp boss they pointed him(His now my husband though 🤭) and I asked what is his name and they told me his name but that Day we never talked to each other but I kept his name in my head
It was when we met that he told me that he did not like it when I was told his name we took every minute of our life as a joke I met him and we were like friends we started our relationship which was not up to not up to six months while we were in the relationship he told me the friends he had before me we knew it we started talking as a friend we introduced ourselves to each other introduce myself I told him how many friends I knew ,I knew so many friends , he told me if he can rent a house for me so I can come during the Christmas time, when I went to visit them in Lagos he came to my place I was not there and drop some money with my friends for me to pick up to take care of myself and when I was back to Lagos ,he came back and he said he wanted to get married to his finance at that time" that's good." so why don't I take your measurement because I have the knowledge of sewing so I made his clothes and he went to Lagos when he went to Lagos the woman he was supposed to marry said she is no longer interested. Since we where friends he came complaining unfortunately,he couldn't do anything to change his mind. But then he decided why not get married to me after all , we're friends and understand each other. Time ticked fast and I got Married in the year 2000.
In the year 2001 I gave birth to my first girl at sapele, a small village in Delta State , Nigeria.
