It is natural to face losses sometimes as a human, but in some cases, it's difficult to bear these losses. Losses are not what people wishes to have. They are always too painful and heartbreaking, especially when it comes to most vital things that involves; money, costly asset and life. People don't want to have such losses. Some losses are irreplaceable; losses like lost of life, this is very serious kind of lost that sometimes appears difficult to let go. However, you can't fight it, you just have to let it go. I have experienced some losses in life, which I will love yo share with you.
Some years ago, I went into dog farming business, that was like 2014. As at then, we usually buy little puppy about 5,000 Nigerian naira each, so I bought about 55 puppies into my farm.

The business was very lucrative and I made lot's of money from the business. Most people who patronized the business where individuals who needed dogs as pet and individuals who needed dogs for security reasons. It was one of the best business I did that generated lots of money that year. So after six months from when I stocked my farm with new dogs, I decided to travel for a friend's wedding, I needed to stay like for 3 days there with my friend. So I handed the farm to a boy who was working with me, to take care of the farm.

While I travelled. I left dog feeds and extra 15,000 naira with him. Now after 2 days, I could still remember that day very well. It was on Saturday, August at around 12pm that the boy called me to tell me that the whole dogs are dead. Hummm! I was silent for a while and I ended the call to reason twice if he was actually talking to me. So I called him back and ask; "Sam, was it my dogs in the farm you were talking about, or your landlord's dogs ?", and he replied, "sir! Am finding it too heavy to tell you this, but yes sir, I am talking about the dogs in the farm". Fear gripped me immediately, my tongue was heavy to tell tales, with different thoughts running through me like electric current. My heart was heavy until I ended the call, I didn't say a word to Sam.
Now, all throughout my friend's marriage event, I wasn't myself and my mind wasn't there too. But it's very necessary that a man should have shock absorber. I tried to maintain like nothing was difficult. Until I went back to my farm. When I got there, I asked Sam what actually happened ? Sam told me that He went to get himself launch, and when he returned, he discovered that most of the dogs were lying down and He was thinking they were sleeping, after an a hour he went to feed them, then he discovered that the dogs were dead.
I was grieved, but I tried to control my emotions, because I remembered the words of my dad, he said; " A man is not known by anger and rash behaviour, but by diligence and thoughtful response to immediate shocks and unhappy situations". I held my breath for a while, but yet tears went running down my cheek. I said to myself; "I have lost these. What have I really done to deserve this ?". After few days, I discovered that one of my neighbour, who liked coming to my farm to complain that the dogs barks too much at night and that they are giving him sleepless night, came in while my boy carelessly left the farm for launch, and gave my dogs feed, mixing poison for them. My dogs knew him very well, so they were not harmful. So he used the privilege and he had to poison my dogs Humm!! I was bittered as a man. I reported it to my elders, and they asked me how I got to know, and I told them that a little boy, who lived close to the farm saw him, and told these things to me. The elders told me they were going to handle the matter. I waited for close to a month, no one did anything, no single response from the elders, then I knew that everyone fights for himself.
Since I never had valid proofs, and this boy who told this things to me, was just a little boy, I swallowed the pains and let it go. It wasn't easy for me but then, I let it go.
