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

My husband's concubine

Orima, my co-wife has taken my husband away from me. It's as if I am fighting to have my husband back," Agbomma said. "Since her husband my late brother died, I have been taking care of Orima. It's my responsibility to take care of her and her children," he said. Agbomma was very disappointed because she knew it wasn't ordinary. Her loving and kind husband now turned to a monster. Because of her late brother's wife, Orima.

Soon Orima gained his trust, Echiozo
turned his back against his wife, Agbomma completely and focused on Orima.

Agbomma then decided to let them be, to live long and have a peaceful life, after she found out that Orima was diabolical. Agbomma's happiness was that her husband was still taking care of their children but the only thing he deprived her of, was their normal couple's moment. They no longer have husband and wife conversations. Orima now took the position as the wife.

Few years later, she became a well known diabolic woman that she dragged Echiozo into witchcraft. Echiozo became a wizard. They entered deep in this act and began to torment the villagers, especially their kinsmen. Stopping the progress of youths so that there was no progress. 

Not long after this, than the spirit of the dead began to torment Echiozo, the ancestors were disappointed at him that as the eldest he was not doing right. He wasn't upright in meddling with the affairs of the people. It's said "to whom much is given, much is expected" the ancestors expected much from him. He failed them by following the footsteps of a mere woman to destroy the people. Okoroafor compound was lacking, people dying and suffering one ailment or the other, all was—courtesy of Orima.

No night passed by without Echiozo lamenting that the spirit of the dead was after him. Sometimes, they would come to warn him in the dream. They would ask him "Echiozo, what are you doing with our descendants. They children we left in your care? Echiozo, you are taking off the light that we put in your hand" after sitting him down, they end up cautioning him to do the right thing.

Echiozo gave deaf ears to their warning, it was obvious Orima was controlling him and living his life for him. Dictating for him on the things to do, how to do them and when to do them. The amazing thing was that Orima had four girls for Echiozo as his concubine, no male. While she had two sons for her late husband. Agbomma's joy became complete when she saw that the gods were with her, that was why, Orima never produced a male on Echiozo's name. Agbomma had three sons and two daughters for her husband, Echiozo.
"The gods are wise"

Now that Echiozo was receiving warning from the dead, he instead increased his evil deeds with Orima, in spite of the torment of the dead which gave him sleepless nights. He didn't want to understand that "what is after six is more than seven"

One fateful night, Echiozo was in reverie, when he finally dosed off, the spirit of Agu, his late uncle began to whip me, from sleep, he jumped out of bed and ran outside, Agu's spirit began to pursue him, and whipping him. He kept screaming, "Agu leave me! Agu leave me!!" People gathered to get hold of him, he kept screaming "Agu leave me" It was confusing, shocking and strange—it seemed he was the only person seeing Agu's apparition, but people would only see the mark of the whip—bruises all over his body.

Sometimes, the spirits pushed him down in public places and people would come and help him rise up. His life became misery till death. Orima continued her evil, the ancestors did same thing they did to Echiozo, yet she didn't repent. Even when her name as evil woman went viral, she didn't turn a new leaf, she did worse things even. She died in evil. And one of her sons inherited it from her.

Otuu, Orima's first son began to get rich by using his cousins and old women for money ritual. Now nemesis had caught up with him. Would he rather repent or die in diabolism?

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
