His mother always told him to disregard the tears of a stranger
His mother would say "Everybody, can't be fortunate" or
"For someone to be fortunate, someone else has to be unfortunate"
Her mother was a woman of means, not materially but in an extra-mundane way
She was a witch of

sorts
He didn't realise this until when he got to the secondary school
One of his friends was very brilliant
The friend also lived in their neighbourhood
The friend likes to show off that he was brilliant and would often mock him for being an average student!
One day the friend

spoke out of turn on the football field, the friend said "All you know how to do is run around and play football, but you end up copying me during tests and examinations. Me empty brain"
What the friend said was true but there were ,many people there and they all laughed at him

He told his mother when he got home
His mother used her wrapper to wipe his tears
His mother said "That your friend will never pass an examination again"
They were already writing examinations
At the end of the term, none of his friend's scripts were found
Not one!
And from that

term his friend seemed to lose interest in academics and life generally
He didn't go crazy but he started behaving like someone whose brain was full of bubbles
It was a turn that took the whole school by surprise
His friend's parents started seeking for help all over
His mother

reminded him of their conversation after several weeks
His mother said "The powerful owned the world, we do as we like! Don't you dare forget that!"
His mother's firstborn was married to a teacher
They had three children
One day her mother came home from a party and said "I am

tired of waiting for your sister to make it in life, I cannot wait forever!
Two weeks later, his sister came home to see their mother
They talked for a long time
The following morning, her mother took his sister to the home of her new husband to be the third wife
He expected

some trouble
There was none
Her sister's husband didn't make any fuss, not even a whimper
Her sister too left her children behind & walked into another marriage without any objection
It was somehow...
When he asked his mother
She said "The matter was settled since, all i did was

rearrange the pieces
Her sister's marriage brought them a change of fortune
The new husband appreciated their mother more and made sure they never lacked anything
When her immediate elder sister brought home a husband after NYSC
Their mother objected and threatened to curse her

if she insisted on marrying her own choice
"Can't you see how your sister made a mistake that took me years to correct, the elders must choose with wisdom otherwise you will miss it! Stop arguing with me! I will curse you with my breasts and you will die a useless death!" His

sister was a strong character
She had never been drawn into their mother's aura of diabolic superiority
She refused to be a part of their mother's schemes
Their mother told her she would be moving from one husband to the other until she came home crying for help!
Her sister had

her way but the marriage lasted only three years!
She has been married five times and had four children
Their mother's words rang true
When it was his turn to go for NYSC, their mother called him and told him to learn from her two elder sisters
"Do not bring any girl home for me

let me help you plan and build your life"
He has always been his mother's favourite
His father died when he was only seven years old
He obeyed his mother and refused to go into a
serious relationship with anyone
When he got home, he expected his mother to have a wife waiting for

him
His mother told him to be patient
He waited one year, three years, five yrs
He had girlfriends from all over
Eventually, he told his mother he had fallen in love
It was true, he met a lady at his office
The lady was beautiful, intelligent & gainfully employed
She was the one!

Her mother laughed and said "She will run like a scared rabbit soon"
A month later, the lady told him she had a bizarre dream and after narrating the dream to the wise people around her they told her that she was involved with someone whose mother was a witch!
She needed clarity!

He broke up with her immediately
Her elder sisters call their mother a witch
They say so to their mother's face anytime their mother came up with her antics either to collect money from them or just to draw attention to herself
Their mother was a drama queen who wanted to be at

the center of everything! Even her children's lives and marriages
And she was the type who will shout it at the rooftop that she was responsible for the successes of her children and their failures if they disobey her
She would say "I took XYZ out of poverty! I made her rich and

when ABC refused to do my bidding, I scattered her path in life! The child that listens to me will get help but the one that dishonors me shall die of poverty and lack"
His mother was overbearing and could easily be labeled as a witch but he wouldn't tolerate it from an outsider

None of them had any friends while growing up
People generally steer clear of their mother and the children
When he told his mother what had happened with his girlfriend in tears, his mother took him into her room
His mother said "I have been given a binding spell by some friends

I just don't want you to die of poverty
Go out there and find a rich girl, any rich girl who you know has enough substance to sit with
Don't talk to her, just find out as much as you can about her and bring me the details
I will make sure i settle you into abundance and wealth in

my lifetime
This was how he became an essence dryer
In five years he dated three ladies
He made sure they had money in the bank and assets
He would give his mother their details
His mother would do her thing
They would be bound to him until he had drained them of everything...

He bought a land a built his first house directly opposite his mother's house
He bought cars
He was working with the local government but the job was just a front
He fleeced rich but spiritually vulnerable ladies
His mother told him he would be able to pick and choose any beauty

he wanted after he had acquired as much wealth as he desired
He was taken to a river in the dead of the night and his face was washed with a special soap
His mother told him he would be able to see the right ladies to choose because there are ladies whose virtue cannot be mixed

with his own!
It worked
It wasn't true love but it was popularity and enjoyment
Money brought friends and a lot of parties
The rich ladies he met brought other rich ladies to him
He started his own laundry outfit and opened several outlets all over their city
He remained single

until he was forty
The day he clocked forty, his mother told him there was only one thing more for him to do to secure his wealth and get married to any lady of his choice
His mother told him she had made inquiries and for there to be no backlash for him, he must sleep with her!

Escaping Justice gbengawemimo.com/post/escaping-…
That night, he slept with his mother
seven times before daybreak
He had entered the hole through which
he was given life
He had escaped wrath and vengeance
He was free
