In a sentence

I like listening to stories about him because I learned a lot from him.
In this sentence, 'niego' is used as the objective form of 'he' (on) in a context requiring the genitive case after the preposition 'od'.
Nie mogę przestać myśleć o jego słowach i o nim samym.
I cannot stop thinking about his words and about him himself.
Here, 'niego' serves to replace 'him' in an emphatic manner after the preposition 'o', which prompts the genitive or accusative case.

To the question of who did it, I pointed to him.
In this example, 'niego' is employed in the accusative case form of 'he' after the preposition 'na', indicating direction.
