IFUEKO

As they say, an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. While this is true for some, it isn’t for others.

Ifueko had just finished high school. She took Jamb and was awaiting her results. She gets bored and decides to go online to keep her mind busy. Just then, she stumbled upon a photographer that had nude pictures he had taken splashed all over his page. “All these stupid photographers, they think it’s by posting nude pictures they’d blow” She hissed and cursed underneath her breath.

The mistake she made was not unfollowing that demented human being that called himself a photographer immediately she saw that nonsense.

She logs into Instagram a while later and the picture was the first thing she saw, again!! This time she didn’t curse, she clicks on his handle and as she did so, curiosity sprang up from within her as she viewed his page.

She starts to feel some sort of way, she just couldn’t explain it. Oops, what was that that just fell on her pant, she wondered. It dawned on her that while she was viewing those pictures, she somehow got wet. All the while she viewed them, eroticism was stirred up in her and she wanted to see some more.

She types “sex videos” on Instagram but nothing pops up. She drops the phone on her bed and begins to ponder on how best to satisfy this urge, this strong evil desire.
Google!! Oh Google has the answer to like everything. With sweaty palms and trembling hands, she types sex videos. What she saw didn’t go down well with her which was quite normal because she was a virgin.

At this point, Lillian, her best friend walks in on her. She quickly puts the phone aside.

“Ifueko, how far” Lillian threw as she jumped on her bed.

“I dey oh, I didn’t hear you coming” She said.

“How will you hear me coming when you were busy watching pornography” She teased.

At this point,Ifueko couldn’t even talk,she tried to voice out something but the words weren’t forming.

“Chill jor, nor be today. I’ve been watching it for some time. There’s no harm or shame in it.” Lilian continued, reaching for Ifueko’s phone. She goes through the contents and chuckles. “How can you watch this type when you know you’re a virgin. Come let me show you the ones to watch.” She further added. Ifueko moves closer to her and in no time, they were watching the ones that weren’t so extreme.

That was how it all started. From that day henceforth, each time Ifueko was bored, she would watch tons upon tons of porn movies.

She gained admission into the university and got busy with her studies. Several months had passed and she tried as much as possible to do away with this bad habit that she had gotten a better part of her.

Somewhere along the line, she got born again and became a committed member of Assembly Of Believers. She was determined to do away with that habit. Something about it didn’t feel quite right, even though Lilian tried to justify it.

Lilian on the other hand had watched it so much that one day, she decides to practice what she watched with Obinna, her boyfriend and that was how she lost her virginity.

After hearing the word of God that was being preached each time she went to church, Ifueko began to make some adjustments in her life and to do away with such carnal habits.
Once in a while, she stumbled and fell. She still watched porn movies, especially when she was bored or angry.

Each time she watched it, she’d feel better but so dirty afterward. However, she couldn’t help it. It was at this point, she got a book by a popular author, though not her Pastor, but she was always inspired and blessed by his books. The title of this book was “The Power Of Your Mind”.

She learned so much in this book and it started rearranging not just her mind but her life. She also searched out articles online that could help her overcome this dirty porn addiction.

Overtime, Ifueko broke free of this devilish addiction, from the chains the devil had her bound with. Each time the devil threw thought bombs at her which was geared towards stirring up those feelings, she would speak in tongues as loud as she could and put all that she read in that book to work. It worked.

At a point, her course mates thought she had gone mad, ’cause of the way she spoke in tongues.

Her roommate Juliet also shared the same opinion and was greatly concerned.

On this particular day, Juliet had just come in from lectures. Ifueko’s department was a very funny one, lecturers used to cancel classes at will. Sometimes, for one full week no lecturer would show up.

What’s more, because they didn’t have a TV in their room at the time, it got really boring sometimes. That boredom had stirred up the urge to watch porn movies again but the devil’s plans failed again this time. As he threw those thought bombs at her, Ifueko started to rattle in tongues.

It was at this point Juliet worked in. Seeing her friend speak in tongues so violently like someone that had taken leave of her senses sent shivers down her spine. When Ifueko was fully spent, she approached her.

“What makes you speak in tongues like this?” Juliet asked concern written all over her face.

“I’m just trying to take care of some matters in the spirit realm.” Ifueko retorted, grinning.

Two years later, the devil knew better than to mess with Ifueko or throw his silly thought bombs at her. Yes, she got completely free of porn addiction.

She got married recently and her husband has been singing her praise to everyone close to him that cared enough. “I found her to be a virgin on our first night
