A 90-year old virgin, Miss Agnes Udofia
who lived her life caring for other people's
children is set to be immortalised by the
people of ikot Udobia village in the Etinan
Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom.
Over 50 men, women and children whom
all thought she was their biological mother
gathered around her on Monday to give
thanks to God for her life.
According to Mr. Fabian Udoh, a
businessman who was trained by Udofia,
he was happy to be in the village to honour
Udofia.
He said since he was a kid, he never
saw Udofia with any man to cultivate a
relationship. He noted that Udofia raised
the children of other people.“She has
touched the lives of over 50 children.
I have
always known her not to have any
relationship with any man.
He also revealed that they are proposing a
foundation to immortalise her.
“We are
proposing a foundation to immortalise her.
We all came home today to celebrate her
now that she is alive. It will make no
meaning celebrating her after death.
She
gave most of us life and we must celebrate
her when she is alive,” he said.
Apart from a thanksgiving service and
lavish reception organised by people who
grew up in Udofia’s care, St. Pius Catholic
Church, Ikot Udobia, also organised
another thanksgiving programme for her.
Speaking to blazegist.us, Udofia
revealed she never knew any man in her
entire life.
She also said she had never been
married, and had no boyfriend when she
was young.
She said, “I was born partially blind and so,
no man saw anything good in me.
So, I
grew up without a man. I have never slept
with any man as far as my memory can
carry me, not even in my dream.”
Speaking further, she said her belief is that
she was created by God to live and die
without a husband, child and anything to
call her own. She explained that she saw
things in and around her as normal, adding
that she did not hate men and believed that
men hate her. “I live my life the way you see
me.
No feeling for a man. I don’t see it as
abnormal.”
Udofia, who said she enjoyed taking care
of little children, added that she did not
have a business of her own.
As for the children she trained, she
explained that their mothers often dropped
them with her when they were going to
farms, markets or stream.
She said, “I would take care of them until
they returned to take their children. I feed
them and keep them happy as long as they
stay with me.”
