“I Got Pregnant At 16, I
Became A Millionaire At 17” – Hilda Dokubo
Veteran actress, Hilda Dokubo who ministered as a Pastor at the Fresh Oil
International Church opened
up how she got pregnant at 16 after her father died and became a millionaire at
17.
“I was born with a silver spoon, but death turned me
poverty-stricken after my father died when I was just nine. I turned away
from God at that point, because I felt disappointed that despite how much my
father loved and served God, he still died.” She continued, “After my dad died,
my mother completely lost her mind. If she were living in the US , I’m sure
she would have been diagnosed as a mental case. You know, in Nigeria , we
don’t consider people mad until they have started eating from dustbins. I rebelled
against God at that point, and I stopped going to church at the age of nine.
“However,
I was a very brilliant girl, and I got admission into the university at the age
of 16. I became rascally and did what girls like that do. I slept with a man,
and I became pregnant. It wasn’t the Holy-Spirit that impregnated me. My mom
was devastated and disappointed in me because of that. I was also angry with
her because ‘her God’ killed my father, and we stopped speaking to each other.
One day, a man came to me and said he needed a barge. I didn’t know what it
was, and he told me it was used to store oil. I then recalled that I had once
seen a barge in the compound opposite ours. I went to the neighbour and told
him I needed the barge. He asked me what I needed it for, but I told him not to
worry. I told them to put the barge in front of my mother’s house. At that
point, the man who told me he needed the barge came back, and dropped sacks of
money containing N2m with my mom because I was in school at that time. Two
weeks later, he returned with N500,000, and I was dumbfounded. Before then, I
had never seen N100,000 together, but there I was as a millionaire at 17, not
knowing what to do with the money. I would have become a prostitute, but I
became restless and challenged destiny. Your life cannot change for the better
if you don’t challenge destiny. Even God challenged destiny.”
