- BISKET Boss Reveals How GOD Asked Her To Leave Her Marriage
For very many years now, Mrs Bisi Dan-Musa, the owner of BISKET Supermarket on Allen Avenue in Ikeja, Lagos has lived a very low profile life. It took her turning 60 a few weeks back to bring her back to public glare. And within those few years a lot has happened in her life. She is no longer married Alhaji Dan Musa. She is now single. She has also adopted a new name BISKET Golden. She is the Chairlady of BISKET Group. Last week, this ever pretty woman spoke to City People. She revealed a lot of things people don’t know about her life. In this interview with City People Publisher, SEYE KEHINDE and Reporter, ADEOLA FAGBIYE she revealed why she left her marriage of 19 years to Alhaji Dan Musa and relocated back to Lagos from Ilorin where she lived with him.
Many don’t know you are single. Why did you leave your last marriage to Alhaji Dan Musa?
After the child trafficking controversy, I went through hell. I am now proud to say that I am not married and I am a single mother today, by God’s grace because I went on another journey, immediately after the case. It was as if I mortgaged my life off.
When you look around you, in a bad situation, and you can’t see anyone by your side, whoever is available at that time, you tend to trust such a person. So, I was gullible and it cost me 18 years of my life. I closed down all Bisket Stores including where we are sitted right now on Allen Avenue. I left everything because he told me to leave Lagos and go with him to Ilorin. He offered my children and I, a better life but I went into Slavery. As at that time I wasn’t better than those in Libya right now. If I tell you what I went through, nobody would believe I would still be alive. I wasn’t better than those in slavery right now in Libya, everything you see happening on Facebook, happening to those in Libya right now, happened to me including my adopted children. It was God that saved our lives, my children were molested but I couldn’t do anything, I was already “Libya”.
I slept on the floor inside my shop in Ilorin, I wondered how to start all over again because of my children, I couldn’t abandon them, I had to take them everywhere I went. Even the ones abroad were complaining because sometimes, I might not check on them for years, I told them I couldn’t leave them here, it wasn’t because of lack of money.
All my 5 stores were closed down, everything disappeared and I went into slavery. I was told that “now you are a slave, what can you do?” I had full knowledge of the fact that there was nothing I could do.
Bisket went to “Libya” in Kwara State. For your husband’s lover to threaten to beat you up and you just stand and watch and you start to recall if you are the same Bisket as before. People told me they could never take such things despite being poor. I couldn’t even think of starting that over again. It got to a stage where I had to move out of the house into my shop where I slept on the floor for 4 years and was waiting to hear God’s voice because I didn’t want to take the wrong move and find myself in the wrong place again because it was the wrong move I took that landed me in Kirikiri, Nigerians didn’t know about that move.
After spending 18 years in “Libya” (Ilorin), I wanted to come back to Lagos and after coming back to secure a place for me and my children, I asked someone to bring them to Lagos. That was when I got into that child trafficking problem.
I left first. That was why I was accused of trafficking because the Police claimed that when they got to my house there wasn’t even a bag of rice for someone who had 16 children. So, they concluded that the children weren’t mine and I was a trafficker. They didn’t know that I didn’t have money to by foods stuffs. It was whatever was available, my children and I would eat. I came here 6 weeks earlier and when school went on break I asked that they should be brought to Lagos and that was when they were stopped by the Police.
And all that happened to me because I didn’t seek God’s counsel and took the wrong move. Everything I was asked to do then I didn’t do. It was like I was in a trance, I locked up my shops, church, Rabbi Call Church had 4 branches and I closed it all because he asked me to. And up till now, I haven’t been able to re-open those churches. All my stores at the Airport, Ikeja closed down! It was like I was in a trance and the moment you close a church down, it’s like removing the grace of God over your life and that’s why I got to Kirikiri. So, when people say someone caused it, I usually reply that “I caused it by myself”. I opened the door to satan myself. God knew how it will end. God wanted to punish me for abandoning his mission. He drove everyone around me away. But when I had the child trafficking saga those people who helped initially still stood by me and did their best for me.
But when I refused to leave the children, they had to step back, but I still appreciate their efforts over me. So, I went on that journey, I and became a nobody. If God isn’t with you and there’s no grace, no matter how rich you are, you won’t be able to account for your spendings but when there is grace, even if you have little you will feel blessed.
It got to a stage that I was advised to leave but insisted that I had to hear God’s voice before leaving, my children were angry with me but they still stood by me. 2 years ago, God first gave me a vision which I also saw the first night of my marriage to Alhaji Dan Musa. In that vision, I saw 3 Hausa men come into the room, they had a knife and a Calabash with them on that first wedding night because his coming into my life was like a trance, because like I said, I am not the going out type, I don’t chase after men.
I tried severally to make my marriage with Alhaji Shaba to work out but it didn’t, we recently had our daughter’s marriage and he is still begging me till today. You can quote me but no one knew what happened between I and Alhaji Shaba. It was only one publisher that knew what really happened. I gave Alhaji time but he didn’t change.
Some people say he broke my marriage. Dan Musa didn’t break I and Shaba’s marriage. He couldn’t even try it but Satan used that opportunity to bring his agent into my life because I see him as satan’s agent because if he wasn’t an agent of the devil, I should still be able to have good memories of my marriage with him. But there isn’t any out of my 18 years marriage to him that took me to “Libya”. My marriage with him was Libya, if that is the place where they are suffering the most right now, that was where I went to in his hands. I lost everything that makes me a woman, I lost everything that gave me dignity as a woman, even things I can’t say to you because I am ashamed of it because I didn’t want to make another mistake.
But God saw everything, and like I said, the marriage was not planned. We met November 28, 1987 and we got married December 25th of that same year. It was less than a month. When he walked into my life, I told him, let me talk to God, let me seek his face. It was as if I was controlled with a remote. I just came to my store one day and my Bisket and church signboard had been brought down. The name was changed to Mrs. Dan Musa, I was embarrassed because everything happened so fast and I didn’t expect to meet such a thing.
God refused to speak to me again because I didn’t allow him to talk because the Holy Spirit can be grieved. When we refuse it. So, when it all started happening the angel visited on the night of the wedding through my dream. I saw 3 men walking towards me with a calabash and a knife and Dan Musa was right behind them that I woke up and told him about it that he supported their action. If I didn’t die then, what I experienced was more like death and the year I was to leave I saw the same vision I saw the night I married him. He had left with one of his female friends as he usually did, sometimes he could leave for 2 or 3 months but I will still be at home waiting for him to return. I didn’t have friends, it was just from home to church, to the shop because he was confident that I wouldn’t go.
So, when he returned from his “trip” he came to disgrace me at my shop for coming to the house but he later came back to apologise and I went back to the house but on that same night, the dream I had on my wedding night repeated itself and I told him about it again but he said he couldn’t do such a thing to me 3 weeks after I had a dream similar to the previous one.
The final one that made me leave was during one Muslim festival at Ilorin in 2015, I had finished the preparations for the celebration, then I went up to my room around 2am, that was when I heard the voice clearly saying in Yoruba that “Bisi, do you want to die here?” And I realised it was time for me to go . I was scared to tell him but I summoned the courage to tell him what I heard and that I wasn’t interested in the marriage anymore and he said “okay I have heard,”, so I left.
I hired a trailer and started packing things into the trailer, we had about 3 trailers after packing and he didn’t even complain or tried to beg me. I started packing around 8 in the morning till 6 in the evening and he didn’t fight me. When I told him I am going back to Lagos, he said I can go. I was surprised. He didn’t try to stop me. Later he came to meet me and told me to come in and rest and pass the night because it was late. He said I can leave for Lagos the next morning. I refused to do so. I didn’t trust his intentions. I left the fight to God. When I got to Lagos in that 2015, I had no where to sleep because most of my properties were commercial properties, people had their businesses there and also because I had always been married, I didn’t see the need to have a personal home but I got a space in my shop and stayed there for a year and believed that God will help me. Never give up because when I wanted to rent out one of my property people told me to see traditional help but I refused because I believed God had plans. I was able to buy two properties miraculously.
Everything that is happening in Libya to those in slavery happened to me. There was a night in Abuja, Dan Musa was so angry with me because I went to church, I had to hid in an uncompleted building. I landed in the hospital and when I did all that for 19 years, I made up my mind to leave and God supported me.
So many things happened that I can’t even reveal. He did abnormal things to me. I advised him severally to be prayerful but he refused and at some point we had a car accident, which I survived unhurt but he was terribly injured. Our driver died. He even went through 7 operations, 3 here , 4 in England for him to look like a human. I warned him about it that day because I saw it coming but he didn’t listen to me. I should have been the one on the seat he sat that day but he sent me to the market that day. I expected him to change after that incident but he became worse.
I won’t apportion blame to anybody, because maybe I was too patient with Alhaji Dan Musa. He wasn’t a wicked man because I believe he had some spiritual attack because he refused to serve God and if you don’t serve God the enemies would ruin your life. They will push you around.
He still begs me to come back. He texts me to beg, his mother sent me a text to return home but I said I don’t have a home there and I can never go back there. No Christian would go back to Egypt so I will never go back.
I am using this medium to tell the press that I have moved on, I can’t never go back to Egypt. I appreciate him, I had no regrets with him, I knew him to be a kind man but people may not see him that way because he fights and shouts a lot but to me that was close to him, I will say Dan Musa is a kind, gentle man but there are some forces that really want to ruin his life. He was down before I met him. He needs to go back to God and its because he refused to go back to God, I left him.
Also because God asked me to leave. If God didn’t ask me to leave, I wouldn’t have, but he asked me to leave. I heard his voice and “woe unto him that says God said when he didn’t speak”. If I made up that story God will judge me. I thank him for the time he took care of me and my adopted kids. I thank him but I can never go back, its too late because I am a woman of God, I believe in the voice of the Holy Spirit. He asked me to leave and I left after 19 years and I can never go back again, that chapter is closed in my life. If he wants my friendship, fine but I can’t go back, I have blocked him on Whatsapp and Facebook because I don’t want to give wrong signal. I cannot marry him again, I have moved on, that chapter of my life is already closed by God’s grace.
