A tragic incident occurred yesterday at a Chinese restaurant in Adeniran Ogunsanya street, Surulere, Lagos, after a drunk man mistakenly drank an insecticide at the restaurant. The man died afterwards.

The deceased was reported to have proceeded to hangout with friends at the restaurant after attending a wedding at Aguda, Surulere. It was there he got drunk, drank the insecticide a staff of the restaurant had inadvertently left inside an empty bottle of water on his table.

The drunk man who ended up taking the insecticide instead of the bottle of water he ordered for, died while being rushed to hospital shortly after he opened up to his friends, that he took something thinking it was water.

The Manager of the Restaurant was arrested and detained at Bode Thomas Police Station, after the drunk man incident was reported.

This is coming after a mother threatened her son not to return home if he ever failed his exams after the huge investments she had made on him.  Klariza Ruby Ochei, took to Facebook to narrate the lugubrious incident.

“Gather around guys! My mom told me a true like story yesterday that pierce my bone. Her friend’s son wrote jamb the first time, he did well but wasn’t given admission. He wrote the next year and he wasn’t given admission as well.

“He didn’t give up, he wrote last Year and performed woefully, and his parents were angry with him.And his mom told him if he write again this year and doesn’t do well, he shouldn’t come back home. Because she has wasted a lot of money on him alone.

“The boy took jamb this year and unfortunately, his result was unpleasing. His parents were not at home. He told his friends(his neighbor) that he didn’t do well. He told them what his mother told him. This boy went into the house locked himself, wrote a letter to his mom that his mom has never gone through his note even when he attended tutorial.

“She is so busy with work and he took rat poison and died. And this boy is the only child of his mother. Please I beg of you parents never put fear in a child when it comes to academics.

“Even if he performed woefully he can learn a vocational trade and be successful. There are a lot of children who don’t do well in classroom but in the room of vocational skills they are unbeatable.

“Besides there is always a room for change, You want your child to go far than you’ve gone then you shouldn’t do it a Scarry way. Believe me I am a teenager too and I tell you parents IT’S NOT EASY!! If it’s easy why didn’t you get to that stage you want your child to be now during your own time??

“The funniest part is some parents don’t have Time for their children. To go through their children books is like a big task. Then how would you know if his failure has been telling on him long before now??
