About Me — Ogechuku Ossai-Onah Aloysius(Skyfallgirl)
Finding strength in my scars
Hi, my people. My name is Skyfallgirl—or rather,you can call me Mrs A. I’m 31 years old, a proud wife, and a mother to the most beautiful boy born in March last year. But behind these titles lies a story—one filled with pain, resilience, and ultimately, healing. So, come closer; let me gist you.
A Life That Looked Perfect
I grew up in a home where everything seemed picture-perfect—or so I thought. My dad, a clergyman and principal, had high expectations for me. Being “Nwa Teacher” was a full-time job. I was smart, excelling in school, even seeing my sculpture displayed at the gate. But underneath the accolades was a girl weighed down by constant pressure. Life wasn’t as rosy as it looked.
Dealing with constant pressure not to disappoint and disgrace them was tough. Yes, I might be intelligent — I’d like to think so — but the pressure for excellence, with my father as both my lesson teacher and pastor, was overwhelming. Sigh.
When I was just 10, my world shattered. I came home from school one day to find my mum crying. My dad—my teacher, pastor, and hero—was gone. That loss? It shaped me in ways I never saw coming.
By then, I was in secondary school, and my grades plummeted. I became a hot mess, stubborn to everyone around me. You might think you understand where I’m going, but at that time, I thought I did too.
Boy was I wrong ??
When Darkness Came
Fast forward to a Christmas Eve I’ll never forget. At 16, just as I was stepping into the world as a polytechnic student, tragedy struck my family. It was a moment that left me shaken and filled with questions. (writing this I still feel the shivers and fear) I was raped multiple times, losing my innocence in the most cruel way possible.
After that, I was angry—at God, at life, at everything. I felt abandoned, like the daughter of a clergyman shouldn’t suffer like this. And instead of healing, I spiraled. I lost myself completely, drowning in guilt and self-doubt.
I became a dull shadow of the once “intelligent” Nwa Teacher everyone praised. My mum and brother prayed tirelessly for me because I was struggling to find my way back.
The Turning Point
But you know how God works—He doesn’t abandon His own. Slowly, He picked me up from the mess I had made of myself. I began to reclaim my life, one prayer at a time.

Marriage came as another form of healing. My husband, my safe haven, has shown me what love and patience look like. Together, we’re building a relationship based on trust, understanding, and growth.
Then came my son, the light of my life. You see, I hated my nose growing up—chai! It was my biggest insecurity. But my son, with his tiny face and perfect little nose (just like mine), changed my perspective. What I once called ugly is now beautiful, and it’s all because of him.
In 2021 , I took up writing full time and my book Gemini won an international award in the werewolf category on FASYNOVEL. Yay
Now I am a published Author , a business owner and a content creator … Loving the Lord one day at a time .
Why I’m Sharing This
My story is not just about pain; it’s about hope. It’s about seeing God turn ashes into beauty. To every woman who’s been hurt, to anyone who feels lost or unworthy—know this: you are not alone.
In my other stories—“I Am Ugly” and “I Still Feel The Pain”—I shared how I dealt with insecurities and finding love after difficult times. These stories aren’t just mine; they’re for anyone fighting to find themselves again.
To My Readers
I’m still healing, but I’m proof that healing is possible. If my story resonates with you, let’s talk about it in the comments. Don’t forget to clap well-well and share—this story might be the light someone else needs.
Na me, Skyfallgirl. Thank you for reading.
