Senator Rowland Stephen Owie is the former Chief Whip of the Senate, and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State. But for this piece, that is an aside. In this interview with Sunday Vanguard, he discloses that as the only surviving son of his mother, he belonged to different secret cults in order to survive. He possessed powers capable of destroying his opponents and as a result nobody dared him. He discloses his encounter with the Blessed Virgin Mary, who, according to him, exposed his last voodoo. He also bares his mind on the forthcoming July 14, 2012 governorship election in Edo State on which he predicted victory for his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. Excerpts: A back ground I was born into Ihogbe royal family of Benin Kingdom over 66 years ago in my village,Uhumnwonde. Incidentally, I am my mother’s ninth child, eight died before me and two died after me same day. One died at home when my mother went to the farm. The child was convulsing and they put fire in the open harem warming the leg. You know those days when one is convulsing they will put fire but we didn’t know that it was even increasing the temperature. But after about twenty minutes she died. The male, my mother took that one to the farm. When my mother came back from the farm, she noticed that we were all looking pensive but I just came to welcome her and said, ‘Iye (mother), Ivie is sleeping’. I was about six years old then. Because all these people were dying, before my mum had me, she moved to Ewaen about four kilometers from my village, the same Isi South. She moved…

Summary

dear baba, i know you'll feel uneasy reading this but it's important for me to say this to you there was a time when we as kids thought our dads/moms didn't care about us or per-say didn't understand what we wanted; a time when our petty feelings were safely hidden within small, shabbily folded pieces of paper that were handed to us by our moms/siblings for scribbling our hearts out. what was ironic though then was that once we were through with those papers and had put it away in safe out of reach places (as we thought), somehow it always managed to find its way to the person for whom it was meant. years later when we got a bit older, all our thoughts, feelings and emotions started seeming vague to us but not to our parents as they knew how to comfort us with their love and care, to assure us how immensely they have always loved us. it is these little moments and things that savage the connection between us and our parents. i came across a video recently and i honestly just broke down into tears as i remembered how my bond with my dad was back then when i was a little girl and where we have come to now. my baba was too occupied with work to realize that his little girl was slowly growing up, and that pretty soon a day will come in her life when he'll have to let go of her hand to allow her to be with someone who is a resemblance of his shadow. pretty soon he will realize just how much he loved his daughter, for whom on her big day he broke down into tears just like his baby girl did. as a little girl, i was never as close to my dad as much as i am now. back then we both eventually grew apart yet still somehow managed to be with each other through thick-and-thin. as much as he loves me now, i know and believe he did more back then. his love for…
