I Became a mom at a Young age and things got worse when my mother died when I was 14
In a interview on the “Between Me & You” YouTube show with Leshia Danielle, Tawinika McKoy shared her harrowing experiences growing up with her stepfather and the traumatic events that led her to become a mother at a very young age.
Tawinika revealed that she was molested by her stepfather and faced worsening abuse after her mother’s death when she was 14.
She and her siblings moved to their grandmother’s house, where they continued to face mistreatment.
Despite their attempts to speak out, no one believed Tawinika and her siblings about the cruelty they endured from their grandmother.
Tawinika also lost her biological father, a police officer, at the age of six, compounding her early traumas.
Narrating, she said: “Many knows but many don’t, I lost my dad at age 6 and my mom you know she went to meet their father and had them and then when i was 14 she passed away and so life really got snatched from Under me and under them and we went on to live with a relative If you know you know i dont want to say it right now but we went on to live with a relative and life just wasn’t what it was supposed to be now for me it was great why because i was the first grandbaby and I had a different dad like I pretty much was spoiled but my sisters they were mistreated and so it bothered me alot because it was like I can hear my mom’s voice saying I raise you to protect them so you would i would be in my room and I’m hearing them getting beat on you know what i’m saying and it’s a conflict cuz you are not doing it to me but them you are doing it to them and as a kid it’s like what can i do to this adult and so my senior year it started to get like really bad at one point she flipped on me.
When asked if she was justified by her family relatives about their actions, she said: “Well she wouldn’t say that but yeah and also just a little background that my mom was taken from her, my mom was molested by the guy she was still married with in that house.”
At the age of 14, she stated that she knew what was going on when she went to the house after the death of her mother
“Yes my mom told me when i was 6 that she had been touched inappropriately” she said
When asked about how it was too much for a 6yr old girl like her to go through those stuffs, she said: “I think that was her way to just protect me at some point they got him out like they got him out of the house he left or whatever um this my mom was way ground so i was born he had left for a little bit and it was just my grandma and my auntie that wad there but he was in the house when i was a baby and tuff and thats where my mom was like i told your grandma he ain’t allowed to change your diapers she really had hate for this man like she tried to kill him a couple times as a child and as an adult, i dont know i remember riding on-the interstate in her blue camaro and she just talked to me that if anybody touched you then it went to what she experienced and with who and if something like that happened to me you know to tell her and it’s a story with that too because she didnt show up like i thought she wpuld … so all of this heaviness from what my mom doed with this person going into having to live with the same people.
When asked if she looked more of her mother or her sisters, she responded saying “Me”
Talking about her grandma behaviour towards them and the twins, she continued: “My dad was a police officer and their dad was a drug dealer who my mom met while he was half way out of prison so she changed and it was like they already had this block between them and then here comes this side is different and it was like no really no relationship after she start having more kids I really dont know i feel like they reminded her of my mom and i feel also that this should have been your second chance like god gave you like 4girls again to get it right he gave you 4 girls of children and you still turned around and did the same foolishness and so on my senior year, one morning now the one after me she came and she was like T um ebony which is the baby twin she was about to kill him last night but she said Grandma wouldn’t go to sleep and I’m like what and at this point, i had been talking to a social worker because my grandma had jumped on me and i hadnt told anybody she scratched me up and I can show you the pictures cuz it was right before homecoming i was on the court and it was one sunday i went to church and this woman never talked to me never approached me and she called me over and she was like are you okay?? And me i was very shut off like I you know scared to tell you know what I’m saying stuff and I just broke down and she was like take my number and i took her number and we began to text and i begin to share what was going on alot of people wouldn’t believe you know you have that person where they play like they look like cosby and she is actually on board to stuffs she is working in the church she is like one of the head ushers so like you have been in this church and doing all of this and people wouldn’t believe my sisters at school when they would go and share that they are being abused they didnt listen so the same thing that was happening to my mom when she was young was the same thing that besides molestattion but people were not listening what was going on and when she called me Um she gave me the number and i began to tell her what was going on and she was like document this stuff for me and i started taking pictures when they getting beaten all ths type of stuff taking videos so you can hear things like that and so my sister came and was like hey she was going to kill him last night now taking mine they were little and they were like in the 4th and 5th grade and i called the lady and was like listen my sister said she is about to kill him and she was is she did that y’all going to be in trouble and i’m like how are we going to get in trouble and i have been telling you this stuff for months now like i have been showing and she was like well i tell you what get the camera, bring it to school and i’m coming up there came up there got my camera I guess took it to the CPS People and they pretty much held my sisters in school and me i was 18 and i literally just turned 18 what i had on is what i had i had to find somewhere to go.”
When asked about where she went to since the CPS could not help her because she was 18, she said: “I went with my godmom and she literally ahd just come into my life around the time my mom like right before my mom passed, she was actually my first boyfriend sister and she was grown, she took a like into me, she took me like it’s my mom and she was going to try fight for us too in the very beginning but off-course they didn’t work so i went with her for a little bit and my sisters they got taken into CPS they were separated at first, i’m broken like you feel like you did the right thing but you feel like you did the wrng thing you know and now we are separated i can’t put my hands on them, i can’t talk to them and for the twins they got to stay together so the twins and the ones after me is a year apart but they got separated and then it also exposed them to all type of stuffs that they weren’t exposed to so they are getting changed in this system as well to be kids that they were not before.”
When asked at what age she took them and was able to get on her feet after everything, she said: ” i was 18, it was right before I turned 19 well i might have been 19 or just turned 19 cause i think i had jean at that point I had jean when i turned 19 March and i got them I want to say July so i was 19.”
She also revealed that during this time, she was able to take her siblings in her matrimonial home and her husband too was supportive towards her making this decision.

I’m left with nothing,I’m homeless, I have no child, no family- Man cries out after Kenyan girlfriend dupes him
Follow Our WhatsApp Channel here
Rodrick Lodge said he was left financially devastated after what he believed was a genuine relationship with a Kenyan woman eventually turned out to be a scam.

Rodrick first met his Kenyan girlfriend, “Mary,” while working in Nairobi in 2020, following the death of his wife of 25 years, Pauline.
He said: “I’ve known her since 2020 and I thought she was a friend.
“We started exchanging messages on Viber. She told me she was MD of a beauty company and had 30 employees. She sounded successful, she said she was having a house built in Voi, about 200 miles from Nairobi.”
As their communication continued, Rodrick said the woman told him she was building a house and sent him numerous photographs, including intimate images which he said he no longer has.
Although they initially remained friends, Rodrick eventually developed feelings for her and the relationship progressed. He said he later decided that he wanted to marry her.
Rodrick claimed that he paid a dowry and also agreed to cover expenses for a house he believed she was building.
However, despite the length of their relationship, Rodrick said they never met in person. He also claimed they never spoke over the phone, adding that whenever he tried to arrange a meeting, she would give him different excuses.
“She was sending pictures of solar panels and water pumps. I thought it was going well. Then, in November, she told me she had to go to Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo to market her products. She said there were cash flow problems and the business didn’t have enough money. So I paid for that too. She’d send pictures of her and her friends in Kigali [capital of Rwanda], it looked like she was doing well.”
Rodrick said he continued sending money despite the repeated excuses and delays, only becoming suspicious after another request for financial assistance.
“She was always putting things off, making excuses. I realise now I was such a fool. I should have stopped it there and then. In May she said her dad was in a particular hospital and she needed help with the bills. But when we checked, there was no one with his name there. That finished it.”
After making inquiries about the hospital, Rodrick said he began to believe that the person he had been communicating with may not have been who he thought she was.
“I doubt that Anita even exists. I’ve no idea who I’ve been communicating with. I’m in such a mess. My bank accounts have been frozen because I’ve gone overdrawn, I can’t get access to my pensions and I’ve got nowhere to live. I’ve been a giving person all my life and I aimed to retire to Kenya and marry Anita.
“I’ve been so stupid. She never existed. It was a creation. I’m totally lost. I have zero cash and am relying on a couple of friends. I’m going to be a poor man for a long time. It was all a scam, I realise that now. I have no family, no kids that can help me. It’s over for me.”
Rodrick said the experience has left him without access to his savings and pensions and with nowhere to live, leaving him dependent on friends as he tries to recover from the financial loss

My Heart Is Broken, My Parents Are Devastated,A Family Has Lost a Daughter – Sister of Lady Found Lifeless in a Man’s Bathroom Speaks Out
Follow Our WhatsApp Channel here
Previous reports said a man identified in connection with the case was arrested after neighbours confronted him following the discovery of the body. Police subsequently began investigating the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death.
Follow Our Telegram Channel here
In the video that circulated online, the man was questioned about what happened to the woman. He reportedly gave an account linking the incident to HIV.
However, Chinyere’s sister has now questioned that account and urged the public not to treat it as the complete explanation until investigators establish the facts.
In a lengthy statement shared on October 1, 2026, Maryam introduced herself as Mrs Ugwu Kenechi Modesta Maryam and described Chinyere as her immediate younger sister.
She wrote:
“GOOD MORNING TO EVERYONE AND TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF NIGERIA.
Today, 1st October 2026, I am writing this with a heart that is extremely heavy.
My name is MRS UGWU KENECHI MODESTA MARYAM and I am the immediate elder sister of MISS UGWU CHINYERE SUSAN ROSEMARY, popularly known as It Chinny Susan Rosemary or ITCHINNYS Event Planner.
The young lady whose tragic death has been circulating across social media is my baby sister.
The beautiful young woman you see in this picture was not only beautiful she was a hardworking, ambitious and determined young woman. She was a hustler who worked hard to build a life for herself.
Those who know me and my sisters, those who grew up with us, and those who know our family understand that we were raised to work hard and fend for ourselves . Before this tragedy, our family had no idea that my sister would become known across Nigeria because of such a painful circumstance.
Today, I am coming forward because my sister can no longer speak for herself. I must speak for her.
There have been reports circulating that she was killed because of HIV. As her family, we are questioning that account and asking the appropriate authorities and the public not to assume that this is the complete story until the investigation establishes the facts.
Yesterday, in the presence of the Commissioner of Police, my immediate younger brother, my mother, my father and my aunt, who is also a police officer, I personally witnessed an interview involving the suspect.
What we heard raised even more questions for our family.
According to the account we heard, the suspect initially spoke about using a pestle to attack my sister. However, when questioned about some of the injuries, including injuries to her head and neck, he reportedly gave a different account and mentioned using a machete.
As a family, we need answers.
What exactly happened to my sister?
What caused the injuries on her body?
What happened to her neck and the back of her head?
What was actually used to inflict those injuries?
Why was her body allegedly kept inside a toilet within the apartment?
And what is the explanation for the items reportedly found in the apartment, including a calabash, candles and red cloth/rope?
Where the one of my sister wrist ?
These are not conclusions from me. They are questions that require proper investigation and evidence.
I am deliberately choosing my words because I understand that this matter is now a criminal investigation, and I do not want social media speculation to replace the work of the police, medical professionals and the courts.
But I also cannot remain silent.
My sister was someone’s daughter. She was someone’s sister. She was someone’s friend. She had dreams, plans and a future.
Whatever the circumstances surrounding her death, she deserves to have the truth established.
This experience has also taught me a painful lesson about social media. Before this happened to my family, I understood how quickly information spreads online. But now that it has happened to me personally, I understand even more deeply why people must be careful about believing everything they see or hear online.
I am therefore appealing to the good people of Nigeria, journalists, bloggers, human rights advocates, lawyers, responsible social media users and everyone who believes in justice
Please do not allow my sister’s story to be reduced to an unverified headline.
Please help us demand a thorough, transparent and impartial investigation.
If you have genuine information, evidence, photographs, videos or credible material that may assist the investigation, please preserve it and share it with the family or the appropriate authorities.
We are not asking anyone to take the law into their own hands.
We are asking for truth, due process and justice.
My heart is broken. My parents are devastated. A family has lost a daughter, a sister and a loved one.
Ugwu Chinyere Susan Rosemary you can no longer speak for yourself, but your family will not stop speaking for you, Maryam Kenechi Mama Kuro will not stop
We will continue to seek the truth through the proper channels.
JUSTICE FOR UGWU CHINYERE ROSEMARY SUSAN.
JUSTICE FOR SUZY MONEY
May God grant my family strength and may the truth prevail.
#JusticeForChinyere
#JusticeForSusanRose

The 29-year-old singer attracted attention in December 2024 after she wore a sleeveless dress while performing and streamed the concert on her YouTube channel.
Under Iran’s laws, women are required to wear headscarves and modest clothing in public spaces. Following the release of the performance, Iranian authorities opened legal proceedings against Ahmadi.
According to reports, prosecutors said the performance violated the country’s legal and cultural regulations after the video received millions of views online.

In June, a criminal court in Qom reportedly found Ahmadi and eight members of her band and production team guilty of charges including “offending public decency” through the publication of “obscene and indecent material.”
On Friday, the defendants’ appeal was rejected by a higher court without a hearing, according to their lawyers.
One of Ahmadi’s lawyers told the BBC that the defence team believed the performance should not have been treated as a crime.
“In our view, holding the concert was not a crime at all,” the lawyer said.
The lawyer also argued that the court imposed a severe punishment despite other possible penalties being available.
“The Court of Appeal, despite having the option of holding a hearing, did not hold a hearing and upheld the judgment. It appears that the main reason for issuing this judgment was to deter the recurrence of similar events.”
