Anyone in the world

At 60 , most people are  already  feeling ancient, wouldn't want  to do anything in their lives, except to laze around and patiently wait for death. Not so for Dayo Adebanyo who is adamantly bent on resuscitating her formal business  and passing it on to her children , even at the corridor of 60. I wish this could send a signal to those who believe, out there , that life stops at 60; that once you attain it, it's a signal for you to start waiting for death. Life starts when you are born  and ends when you die , not at a particular age, even when you are still feeling agile.

                               The Gist.

Slamdex, which was begun in FESTAC town and with loans by Dayo and her husband, Samson, climbed to a record success in next to no time. Slamdex had become the talk of the town , due to its spectacular success, in its hey days; thereafter, gradually declined due to frequent policy changes by government, unstable political and economic terrain, and fierce competitions from other similar businesses. These were the factors which Slamdex could not surmount, until its eventual death , 13years ago. Now , in spite of the herculean task of business rebirth, Dayo is adamantly bent on, at her age, resuscitating Slamdex that would outlive her.
