The Weeping Lecturer

In the morning, the heavens opened and it began to rain. Bella grabbed her umbrella to get to school, as she walked out of the hostel the first

House husband

Omah, a famous Counsel, she was popular that nobody in the city didn't know her. She got married to Adewale who unfortunately was jobless. It happened that they studied in the same University, met each other at a Concert, they grew fond of each other and fell in love.

It was after graduation that Omah was very lucky to get a job as a Counsel. Adewale looked out for lucrative job that befits his status quo, "after spending five years in the University, i graduated with first class. As an
Engineer to work as a hotel manager?" he despised the job offer. "Honey, it's just for a while, you have to manage this one, a bird at hand is better than ten thousand birds in the bush, you will get better job, i believe," Omah said. Omah couldn't talk Adewale into taking the available job.

Omah was not getting younger, she saw that time was no more on her side. She picked interest on getting married. Omah was a type that could go to any mile just to achieve her aim. She never lose focus and very ambition prone. She impatiently waited for Adewale to propose to her, but marriage was the least on his mind.

When she found out that Adewale had no interest for marriage because he found himself not manly man to take up marriage responsibility. Omah agreed to help out. Omah squizzed out money from her savings to give Adewale to foot all the bills. " use this, i know it can go a long way in fulfiling the marital rites," said Omah.

Omah took this bold step in order to preserve, protect and solidify her relationship with Adewale in marriage. She even went as far as giving Adewale her dowry, which he used to pay on Omah's head. This showed the exent of her profound love for him. Though their love for each other was more than that of Romeo and Juliet but she really took a bold step in securing her relationship. See "responsible woman".

Just six years in marriage, after Omah had given birth to three kids, the drumbeat of their marriage changed. Omah became arrogant, giving Adewale despicable attitudes, the only thing she couldn't do was to hit Adewale. Yet Adewale never regretted getting married to her. "i know you are my husband, but a wife still deserves some respect from the husband," Adewale would aways say. It though sounded amusing but it wasn't funny to Adewale.

It was later he realized the reason behind her sudden change of attitude. She bluntly told him to his face that he was no more handsome and fresh like the Adewale she used to know. The fact that Adewale didn't have a job made him have no say because Omah shoulders the family's responsibilities- providing the family with the necessities of life. So, Adewale was more like a house-boy to her. He takes care of the kids, feeds them, bath them, takes them to school and brings them back. His wife, Omah assumes the father of the house. She would go out in the morning and returns in the evening. Nobody questions her moves.

Shocking news went viral on front page newspaper and on social media. A friend bought the newspaper for him. The headline read,
"Omah, the famous Counsel in town caught making out with her lover. Tochukwu uplaoded those lude picture of them. This was unmasked as a result of the scandal in their affair which led to their break up." 
"i know Tochukwu, she introduced him to me one day as her cousin," said Adewale.

After three days Adewale still did not say any word to her, she began to die with her conscience, very scared of what his plan could be. She was also hidding her face in shame from public due to the scandalous blackmail and to end it all, she stopped by the lagoon, packed her car, jumped into the lagoon and got drowned.

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself. "how well am I performing in my leadership spot," is what you should ask yourself. You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on. They sit in the engine in their spots and serve the engine their gift without competing

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity
