Too bad. When will this generations of get a life? Destroy someone sweat properties it's unfair. God is your strength Yinka.
ReplyDeleteIf i had something of such value, i will not argue with bandits over a meager sum of 500k and stand the chance of loosing his car, instruments and truck, which one for better? even if it was a million, because i am pretty sure he dragged with them and allowed it get bad and dirty, He was not just a smart lad at that point, quite unfortunate though, Once there is life, there is hope, if they had killed him, will it not be people who will now eat all his sweat he was fighting to protect? Its all materialistic and Vanity, he should have considered his safety and possesions and heartily parted with the sum, even Olu Falae did. i wish him quick recovery...
