I was scrolling through TikTok Live one day when I came across a pastor’s live session. A few minutes after I joined, he mentioned my name and began prophesying to me. I had never met this pastor before, but he went ahead to reveal some personal things about me. I started having goosebumps.

I took his number and texted him so we could discuss the prophecy further because exactly what he said had been my nightmare for the last seven years. I wanted to know more about what I could do to deliver myself from the hands of my sister. He asked me to come and see him, adding that I should bring some money along, close to GH₵1,000. The moment he mentioned the money, my hopes deflated, and I lost faith in getting my deliverance.

I said I wanted him to deliver me from the hands of my sister because, according to him, my sister was my enemy in life. I wouldn’t have had a reason to believe him, but my mind immediately went back to seven years ago, when she uttered these words to me: “You wait and see if you will complete SHS.”

I was in SHS, and I was a day student at the time. One day, my elder sister and I exchanged insults, and things escalated into a fight. The following morning, as I was preparing to go to school, she saw me and said, “You don’t respect at all. Let’s see if you will complete SHS.”

Well, ever since that day, my life has taken a different turn.

About four weeks into the term, I started noticing a strange, unpleasant smell coming from my body. My classmates could smell it too, so they didn’t want to sit close to me. I was one of the brightest students in my class, but nobody wanted to sit beside me or study with me. It didn’t matter that I came first or second in class that semester. The smell made people avoid me.

My mother initially blamed it on my diet, so I changed my eating habits. I stopped eating sweets and reduced my sugar intake. I would also bathe in warm water that my mother prepared for me, hoping it would solve the problem. Instead of the smell disappearing, it got worse. I went from having an unpleasant body odour to smelling specifically like faeces or a rubbish dump.

I couldn’t even sit comfortably in public transport. One of my teachers once called me aside and sternly advised me to start using lime when bathing.

I did some research and somehow convinced myself that I might have TMAU, commonly known as fish odour syndrome. I read that it was a rare metabolic disorder, so my mother took me to different hospitals to get tested. However, every doctor we visited told me that I was fine.

I am someone who bathes twice a day. I am very particular about my personal hygiene, so the whole situation has always been strange to me. I dropped out of school in SHS 3. I was bullied so badly because of the smell. I remember one girl telling me that whenever I stood inches away from her, she couldn’t breathe and felt like vomiting. She said it loudly enough for almost everyone in the classroom to burst into laughter.

I went home that day and never returned to school. As much as I was going through, I genuinely wanted to complete my education, but what happened in that classroom was the final straw for me.

It has been seven years, and I am now 22 years old. Can you imagine that I am still struggling with this same problem?

Because of this condition, I cannot get into a relationship. I cannot make friends or get close to people. Recently, I went looking for a job as a shop salesgirl. When the woman interviewing me came close, she reached for a nose mask and wore it. She started behaving strangely around me. She told me they would call me, but I never heard from them again.

There was even a time I picked up a knife and wanted to stab myself. I am still alive because my aunt saw me. She called her pastor, who only told me to stop overthinking it. I was trying to do that until I heard what this TikTok pastor said.

When A Man Cheats And Doesn’t Disrespect You, It Should Be OK

According to him, my sister was jealous of my intelligence and beauty, so she placed this strange smell on me. He said I was meant to become a great lawyer practising outside the country. I do not consider myself someone who easily believes in prophets, but what scared me was that I had never told this man anything about my condition. How was he able to describe what I had been going through? And how did he even know my sister’s name?

Guys, what should I do? I am beginning to believe that what I am experiencing is some kind of spiritual body odour. I don’t know what else to believe or where else to turn. I just want my life back.
