I believe there is Juju, it happens.
Before I left Nigeria, this woman took me to this village and I had to make a vow that I won’t run away when I come to England.
[I thought I was going to become] a cleaner.
They took the hair from my head, my armpit hair, my private parts hair and they took my nails. My toenails and fingernails and they kept it and they stripped me naked. And they gave me this thing to drink, like blood.
I don’t know what it is, it’s in a pot, they say you should drink it.
Yes, they cut me, I’ve got it on my chest. It’s on my head as well. Yes, a witchdoctor, a scary man.
He just said that if I saw anything about what happens here, to anybody, that I’m doing to die. They are going to send thunder. And when I see thunder, I’m getting better now, but before, when thunder starts I’m scared they’re coming.
Even now.
I’ve seen counsellors and they tell me that they were the ones to deceive me to tell me I’m coming here to do cleaning. So they have already lied. So whatever Juju they did to me is not going to happen.
They deceived me, telling me I’m coming here to clean and they end up doing something else to me.
I won’t allow that. I have to speak out. All my life is sleeping, sleeping, sleeping with men like this.
[…]
Yes, they will. She knows people in England. So anywhere I am, they’re going to look for me.
[…]
I’m not going to say nothing. I’m just going to kill her. That’s what I’ll do, because she destroyed my life. I’m going to kill her because she ruined my life. She made me something I didn’t plan to be.
Any girls that you hear they want to take you to go cleaning, don’t go. It’s all trafick and you’re going to suffer.
They’ve destroyed too many lives. Too many. You have to stop them, put them in jail forever, not to come out.
I hate them.
