A woman, Chi Valeria, whose face was slashed in 2018 by her friend, Mrs MaryAnn Nwanyibunwa Halim Anthony, whom she considers as a sister has reacted to the dastardly act done to her in Asaba, Delta State.
She stated that she has refused all avenue to arrest and imprison her ex-friend for 10 years as the crime requires but has chosen to forgive her.
She wrote on her Instagram page, ‘
At first, it was difficult to let go of this, it sounded so impossible because I didn’t deserve such from a friend and not just a friend but someone I regarded as a SISTER. But as the day goes by, I see reasons to let go. I would have been blinded by this but GODS MERCY said NO and it ended just below my eyes!
June 23rd 2018, was one hell of a year! Many questions of how I would cope with an indelible mark on my face was running through my mind! Suicide became an option! But today I have different people who liked and loved me despite the mark.
Tongues wagged, friends stood against without hearing from my own side of the story. Many were happy 😃 and many were still sad 😢’
‘Many were angry and by all means, wish to take a bold step but I REFUSED.
Yes! I couldn’t stand you going to jail (10years) as the charges on you demanded but I was bittered and pained for months.
Many people who see me today with the same face ends up being so surprised 😮 how it healed so fast (A face that was stitched twice inside before the outer layer)💨 within the space of two years! That alone is a miracle!
Anger might be the problem I find difficult to control
But I have a 💯 per cent, good heart, ❤️ without being told.’
‘On this day, I forgive As many that have offended me and still claim right and also forgive people who offended me and sincerely asked for forgiveness!
And to people who felt I might go against them, I sincerely apologize 🙏
On this day, I ask for GODS GRACE to totally forgive Nwanyibunwa MaryAnn Halim Anthony and also neutralize the Curses I laid on you out of pains, may they turn into blessings for u 🙏
Stepping into another phase of my life!
My era of GODS blessings and upliftment
Mrs MaryAnn Nwanyibunwa Halim Anthony, I wholeheartedly forgive you!’
