For residents of Ekumtak Mbube, Ogoja Local Government Area in Cross River State, the 2009 Valentine’s Day celebration would taste sour, as love has claimed a life and brought sorrow and tears to them. The community is currently in turmoil, as a young, who was allegedly jilted recently by her boyfriend, has committed suicide.

Saturday Sun gathered that the 18-year old girl, identified as Queen, was seen hanging from a tree behind her father’s residence, at the Ekumtak community, with her feet barely touching the ground.

Although Queen allegedly did not leave any suicide note, some of her school friends and confidants, who spoke with our correspondent, said she became heart broken in recent times, saying she was tired, as her plan to celebrate the Valentine’s Day with her boyfriend had been shattered. She said that her boyfriend jilted him and started dating a new girlfriend.

Some of the girl’s schoolmates, who claimed they were instructed by the principal of the school not to speak on the matter, said trouble between Queen and her estranged boyfriend began when the boy started avoiding her. Their friends that made effort to resolve their differences, but these yielded no result, with the boy insisting that it was over.

Queen, who was said to be a final year student of the Mbube East Secondary School, allegedly confided in some of her friends that she was going to terminate her life over the crashed romance.
According to one of the female student, “Queen once jokingly said she would not stay alive on the Valentine’s Day to suffer the embarrassment of seeing her boyfriend enjoy the valentine with another girlfriend.”

One of them, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said: “our Principal is a no-nonsense man. He has warned us not to mention the name of her boyfriend, otherwise we will be in trouble.”
Queen’s father (name withheld) said the girl allegedly left home for school on the fateful day, hale and hearty to complete the process of her registration for the May/June 2009 West African School Certificate Examination.

“She came back from school and disappeared from the house after dropping her school bag,” he said.
According to him, Queen left the compound after she had returned from the school, and was never seen again till the next day when her lifeless body was found at the backyard, hanging from a tree.
The father his daughter’s action as shocking, saying: “She has destroyed the reputation of our respected family.” http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2009/feb/14/national-14-02-2009-03.htm


another one gone too soon.

Its really more than being jilted.
Its a deep rooted internal, psychological problem arising from not being shown luv at childhood, perhaps by parents.
Anybody brought up in an atmosphere of luv will surely not be committing suicide, especially over the opposite sex.

now who is the real loser

she is still in sec. school only not even in a univ and she has taken such a drastic step just cox of a boy

love is really too overated and puppy love isnt helping it at all

Everything is possible. Anything can be true except 'stories' from 'The Sun' & 'City People'. These two cook up 'believable' crap just to make sales. . .

How sad
May her soul RIP

So sad,i guess she cudnt handle the lose.

moderator what happened to my thread? i need advice, can't you get it or are my sensing nepotism here?

such a shame. this is the result of the over sexualisation of our youths.

what makes one mature,is not the ability to rejoice over a victory but the fortitude and resilience to withstand and bear a loss whichever form it comes.
ladies,an emotional loss in not and can never be the end of life,u lose today so as to learn and win tomorrow
MAY HER SOUL REST IN PEACE
AMEN

True that! What is the meaning of that? As she come kill herself now, did that get the guy back for her? She just die for nothing, like fowl, and life goes on.

Ecce the newest Judas Iscariot. May her soul RIP. Could that be love?

A fowl is more worthy sef.
She was 18 and still in secondary school when her mates are already thinking of graduation from Uni. Death of course became her. Olodo pickin!

Next thing you know now, some people would be blaming the guy for dumping her. She probably always showed suicidal tendencies and the guy ran as fast as his legs could carry.
