Bimbo you are heavily pregnant again ? asked Lola a close friend to her.
Of course God will take care of it responded bimbo
remove God from this issue the pregnancy belongs to you. you should close down your baby factory.replied Lola
Lola casted her mind back to their younger days.Bimbo was very brilliant.She took the first position in the class and all eyes were on her that she would be selected for the prestigious overseas scholarship that would turn her life around but the opportunity eluded her .The seed planted in her by her lover has grown begond proportion to the extent that she was visibly pregnant.She has to drop out of school to avoid the impending shame from her friends.funningly she was impregnated by a road side mechanic.Bimbo's parent could not stand the shame .they forcefully push her out to be with her lover.
Life is cruel to her in her husband's place.The booming car repair business of her husband collapsed at the arrival of bimbo.The negative transformation triggered hatred in his heart toward her.He descends on her at every slightest opportunity and beat her to stupor.She would cry again and again without anybody to come to her rescue.The life of squalor continue for a long time . The poverty in their midst never prevented them from giving birth to many children.Bimbo's children are eight in number with no tangible source of living to take care of them .The husband has stopped sevicing cars He manages a little farm to provide for his family while she is a petty trader selling buscuit and sweet in front of their home.Friends warned het of the dangers of having children without good care but she wouldn't listen . She strongly believed that God will take care of them .
Bimbo was frying her usual fodo when dayo her youngest son started to cry . He held his belly and sobbed continuous.He couldn't express himself because he was one plus.Bimbo quickly discerned that his usual stomach pain has started. The doctors diagnosed appendicitis but she couldn't afford the money for operation.Bimbo's outcast status prevented her from approaching her parents for a helping hand.The pain persisted till he gave up the ghost.She sobbed at the passage of her last born to the other world.Money could have save him but poverty will not allow the child to stay.The outbreak of a communicable disease in their society swept four children off..The tragedy was too much for her to bear.she tried to hang herself but was rescued by a good Samaritan.
She accepted her fate and ready for the worst.Good fortune came to their family after the government discovered gold on their farm.Life has really changed for them but they cannot easily forget the past.The past that wiped away their precious children.Bimbo learnt her lesson the horrible way.She now realises the wisdom in calculative child birth and the dangers in BABY FACTORY
