 Nature has blessed mankind with riches and abundance of different resources that human beings find them everywhere on the planet. In those parts of earth where these things are in abundance, people tend to take things for granted, and hardly recognise how lucky they are to find these things around or present. The sudden vanishing of these things or sudden destruction causing the disappearance of these things often tend to bring stress and disappointment that people begin to wonder how they can replace these things they had become accustomed to using, and now they are no longer present. This distress makes individuals commence to think not only how they could replace them, but also how they could maintain these things if ever they have the chance to acquire them back. So it is the changes in some things that usually make people to either miss something or remember the comfort something used to give them. - By: Desmond Ayim-Aboagye  More Quotes | Submit a Quote |

Tears flowed freely this morning, when the mother of Obafemi Martins, late Alhaja Sherifat Martins, was buried.
Family members, relatives, friends and some football players were present when Alhaja Martins, 62, was committed to mother earth at a private cemetery at the Victoria Garden City (VGC), Lekki.
Martins himself could not control his emotion as he saw his dear mother being buried. He arrived early today from London after news of his mother's death was broken to him.
The Lagos State government was ably represented at the burial by Prince Ademola Adeniji-Adele, Commissioner for Sports and Social Development.
Martins' manager, Dapo Olowu, and some local football players were also present at the burial to pay their last respect to the deceased.
The atmosphere at the Super Eagles striker's residence in Ajah, Lagos, was tense as sympathisers wore mournful looks.
