THE GENERAL’S WIFE:

In that movie, general was a notorious person. He selects his workers y passing them through fire. Anyone that survives is taken to the hospital, treated and taken in as a soldier.

After he married his wife, he didn’t know that she has a twin sister. In fact, they were identical. While passing through the fire, she died and was buried while her sister continued in her stead without the general’s knowledge. So, on a very good day, the general was boasting about how strong his wife was and that she survived the fire incident with minimal bruises and his comrades insisted that she should try it again which he agreed to but on the set day, the general’s wife was not found because she ran away and there was no strength in her to compete in the fire training.

After everything, the General was relieved of his duties because he was not able to keep to his promise. His life was even spared because of the contacts that he had already made else he would have been killed. So, they left with their luggage and stayed in the village while the wife was nowhere to be found.

While in the village, the General received a vision to preach to people because hellfire is real as he saw so many souls being tormented in his dreams with no way of escape for them.

So, he decided to create one. He went to the city with his four children and started preaching the gospel after that they have all received Jesus into their lives. Their first ports of calls were the correctional facilities where inmates were preached to and some believed.

When his wife learnt that her husband had repented, she returned to him. They all preached together and the government recognized him for his humanitarian services and rewarded him with an award and a high ranking position in the Red Cross Society.

Today, he is doing well in the city but his wife had not told him her ordeals at the cave when she ran away from him. When he noticed her frequent lack of concentrations, he made her to open up to him and when she did, they reconciled and got married while his wife remembers the sister every year.

This year, she celebrated the anniversary with a bull while keeping a solemn promise of revenging her sister’s death at the hand of the General. Though she almost succeeded, the general was sharp enough to dodge from the stab of a knife while brushing his teeth one early morning. He couldn’t understand why she did that. He applied for her to be taken into a health facility thinking that she was mentally ill, overreacting or even emotionally unstable. The whole thing made the news. 

The general later realized his mistakes and asked for forgiveness but there was no way he could bring her sister back but he promised to make it up to her. That year, he sent her abroad with good wishes while he continued with his humanitarian services. It was while abroad that she met Chikelue. So, the united and came back to Nigeria to fight the general with a renewed zeal. Chikelue was one of the soldiers that the general trained through fire but he escaped and went to Dubai. When they came back, they were greeted with the news that the general had died. So, they went straight to the general’s house and found him motionless. With nowhere to go, the general’s wife stayed close to her husband’s children throughout the funeral and promised to fish out the killers of her husband since she believed that the general could not have died just like that considering how many times that she had tried killing him by herself and it didn’t work. 

While lost in the stream of thoughts, one of the general’s sons brought her an audiotape that was left behind by the general before his death and when she played it, it was the voice of the general saying:

I am not who you think that I am. Please, forgive me.

The recordings ended.

That night, she wept bitterly and decided to let go of the grudges that she had against him or anyone else.
