Fashion designer slumps, dies, community mobs suspected killer .

There was chaos on Sunday on Orobiyi Street, in the Alagbado area of Lagos State after a 22-year-old fashion designer, Lukmon Shotunde, slumped and died. Community youths were said to have attacked one Taofeek Sodiq, who had a disagreement with the victim earlier that day. The youths were about lynching the suspect when policemen from the Alagbado division rescued him. PUNCH Metro gathered that the suspect had sent his son on an errand with N500. The 10-year-old was said to have been defrauded by a man who sat in the front of Shotunde’s locked shop. The boy’s father reportedly accused Shotunde of colluding with the fraudster, insisting on getting back the N500. Sodiq, in the heat of argument, allegedly told the deceased, “You will not live to open your shop tomorrow, if my money is not returned.” A resident, Owolabi Daod, explained that within three hours, the victim slumped and died. He said, “Around 10am on Sunday, a man sat in the front of Lukmon’s shop. Another man, who lives in the community, sent his 10-year-old son on an errand with N500. “But the man in the front of Lukmon’s shop called the boy and asked him to bring the N500 that he would double it for him. The boy foolishly gave him the money and the man absconded. “A resident, who saw the boy sitting in front of the shop, asked him what he was waiting for. It was at that point the boy knew he had been scammed.” Daod said the boy’s father, upon learning the news, confronted Shotunde and accused him of colluding with the fraudster. The 22-year-old, who denied the allegation, reportedly asked for a description of the fraudster. He was said to have called one of his friends who fitted the boy’s description; but the boy said he was not the one. The boy’s father reportedly resorted to threats, insisting that he must recover the money. “The man came out with a friend and said if he didn’t get his money back, Lukmon will not live to open his shop the next day. We thought it was all over. “Lukmon was walking back to his shop when he suddenly collapsed. We rushed him to a private hospital where he was confirmed dead,” Daod added"

Man Chops Off Wife's Hands for Failing to Get Pregnant .

A 27-year old woman in Masii, Machakos County, is nursing serious injuries after the husband chopped off her hands for failure to conceive a baby, seven years into their marriage. Narrating the ordeal on Sunday, Ms Jackline Mwende said that her husband, Mr Stephen Ngila, attacked her on July 24 and cut off her hands as well as injured her on the head. According to Ms Mwende, they had separated with Mr Ngila for three months and on the fateful day, her estranged husband showed up at her house and started attacking her with a panga. “He moved out of our house three months ago and came back on Sunday (July 24) at around 8.30pm. When I opened the door, he said ‘today is your last day’ and started slashing me with the panga,” Ms Mwende was quoted by the Nation. After screaming for help, the husband fled the scene before the neighbours arrived and rushed her to Machakos Level 5 Hospital where she was treated and discharged on Friday. She now lives with her parents. Ms Mwende expressed that she was surprised by the turn of events since, in 2015, they visited a hospital and doctors confirmed that her husband was impotent, but assured the condition could be rectified. The man was arrested on July 25 and is now in police custody for the heinous crime he committed. The parents are pleading for help from well-wishers since buying medication and taking care of Ms Mwende is becoming very expensive for them.

MOVE ON

My subconscious mind is so used to the word "MOVE ON" that I dont need to be reminded that I need to move on and start another page of life each time I encounter difficult or disappointing situation.

You were jilted and treated like trash,dont waste your time feeling sorry for yourself,just -MOVE ON

You failed an Exam and you are feeling like all is lost and the world has crumbled on you,just sit up and -MOVE ON

You just lost a juicy deal,a one in a lifetime deal;Sit back,Replan, Re-strategize and MOVE ON

A calamity befell you and everywhere is looking so dark,tough and rough;a new dawn will arise.Regrets wont solve a thing,mourning and feeling dead wont solve a thing.Dont remain stagnant,just MOVE ON

A marriage you have spent your lifetime building is falling or has fallen.Dont die in depression,Try again and MOVE ON

You have been job hunting for years and it just seem as though you are the depot  of bad luck.Dont believe the devil has anything to do with it,just MOVE ON

The downfall of a man is not the end of his life,it can only be,if he allows it and refuses to MOVE ON
`
This life is a race.A race against time .Lets put it to the best use and not be perturb about issues that would look great over time.
