Episode 1
My name is Happiness Dayo. I am from ogun state. I woke up to my nightmare on december 5th 1996.
"Happy wake up, wake up" dis was the voice of our maid ireti. "Aunty what happened? You sound scared". I was 8 years old but very wise. "Shhhhhhhhhhh she said. Do not make a sound"
She dragged me out of bed pushed me under the bed and told me to stay still. That was the last time I ever saw my dear aunty Ireti.
I heard gun shots and screams coming from the living room but I couldn't move. My little mind told me all was not right. I told my self over and over again "don't move aunty ireti said so"
My world crumbled that day, happiness ceased to exist for me. I was told my parents had gone to heaven. I asked when would I see them
again no one gave me an answer.
I was lonely and hungry I asked for aunty ireti dey said she went with my parents and they are not coming back.
I wept and wept and wept. I heard people coming into our house and going out, all talking about the murder of my parents by armed men. Dey all looked at me with pity and despair.
I was soo hungry and alone and I prayed like my mum taught me. " God my father help me"
