A 15-year-old housemaid, simply identified as Promise, has committed suicide, after she was allegedly jilted by her boyfriend.

The girl, a househelp to Mrs Onyebu Apolus, a resident of 38B, Association Avenue, Dolphin Estate, Ikoyi, Lagos, was found dangling from a rope in the compound.

A suicide note found beside her dangling body explained that she commited suicide because her boyfriend, Ifeanyi, a resident of Ajah, abandoned her after many years of being together, to marry his village girl.

The note stated: “Kindly ask Ifeanyi what I did to him. I have been suffering for Ifeanyi for years when he had nothing. All I earned from my housemaid job was invested on Ifeanyi, just to satisfy him. But at last he dumped me to marry a lady from his village.”

The loverboy has been arrested by detectives investigating the matter. He was arrested through the phone number found on the suicide note.

The detectives allegedly called Ifeanyi that his girlfriend was involved in a commercial motorcycle (Okada) accident and that she needed him urgently at a hospital, in Dolphin Estate.

Based on the information, Ifeanyi raced to the place and he was promptly arrested. He is currently being detained, while the corpse of the lady has been deposited at the Lagos Island General Hospital mortuary.

Oh Wow!!!!
commit suicide over a guy @15

I wonder O,

This is wrong. why should the guy be arrested? Since when did it become a criminal offense to jilt a lover and go with another. The guy's actions were not directly responsible for the girl's death.

I thought there was a thread on this already where someone was blaming her death on Satan and his minions i.e the boyfriend.


As if to "do" is by force these days.

Bad story, LOVE is BLIND. I sorry for the guy.

I have not expressed any opinion concerning her suicide but I am only addressing those who think a housemaid isn't human enough to love. Considering she is below other humans I wonder why they even feel the need to "feel sad" over her act.

Disgusting.

eyah!!!

her loss. . . .

the girl is 15 yrs old and yet she says she had been with the guy for many yrs. . .

how many yrs is many if i may ask?

Love is blind, Love is stupid.

Why commit suicide, all because of a teenager as herself I assume Arresting the poor boy does it help matters?

When there are still men like tumfule on nairaland around, she should just have logged onto the internet, and she would have her feel.


For those who think housemaids are not made to love, they must be very daft.

Why was Ifeanyi arrested. What crime has he committed, really? Is jilting a crime?

Oh ok! My bad, I thought you were justifying her suicide.

The person that said the house help wasn't human enough to love should be ignored, she never makes any sense.

Something doesn't sound right

A 15 year old housegirl

A suicide note found beside her dangling body explained that she commited suicide because her boyfriend, Ifeanyi, a resident of Ajah, abandoned her after many years of being together, to marry his village girl.

Class, lets do some calculations here - when we say many years, im guessing from 4 to 5 years upwards.

so therefore 15 years (minus) 5 years = 10 years.

So they've been together since she was prolly 10 years old.

And then, the guy is now married . . . . .THE GUY IS A PEADOPHILE!!!
