I have carried out tests, gone for fertility drugs, even visited native doctors who gave me herbal drinks to take all to no avail.

I have been crying and calling on God to intervene in my situation but it seems the Almighty does not want to have anything to do with my situation.

The young man went into a trance and began reeling out my life history before me. They were so vivid and accurate and I wondered if my friend had told him about me beforehand.

He told me that when I was just six-years-old, my father divorced my mother and got married to my stepmother, which was very true. He also pointed out that my stepmother never liked me and if she had her ways, she would have killed me and my older brother.

He also told me that my barrenness was not God's making but that my and threw the keys into a stream in our village.

He added that God has told him that the bond will be broken but the only proviso was that we would go to our village where he would retrieve the key from the stream but that once that was done, my stepmother would confess and die in the process.
