Man Shouts Buhari And Jumps Into River In Lagos Due To Poverty by sexysteel94(m): 11:52am On Aug 31, 2016
When the rich are complaining off hardship, I wonder
what the average people are going through. A major
tragedy was averted yesterday in Lagos, when a man
jumped into the river on the Mile Two Bridge in Amuwo
Odofin area of Nigeria’s economic capital – Lagos.

The man, according to eyewitnesses, stood on the bridge for
a while, loudly expressed bitterness over his sufferings and
how things had gone bad for him and his helplessness. He
was said to have mentioned the name “Buhari” repeatedly,
muttered some other words before he finally took the
terrible decision.

However, the timely intervention of a passing speedboat
prevented the victim, who is in his 40s, from drowning.
Passengers on the speedboat dived into the river, dragged
the man who was gasping for breath to the riverbank before
continuing their journey. A witness, Mr. Andy Odiaka, said
the victim was left on the floor for a while, unconscious.
Odiaka told The Sun that he called the state emergency
number – 112, which facilitated the arrival of the Lagos State

Ambulance Service (LASAMBUS) in about 20 minutes.
The three-man medical team, went ahead of the bus to
resuscitate the victim. According to one of the medics, the
man had to be given first aid drip, because he was too weak
to make it to hospital. Odiaka said: “I was there on the
bridge where the man was also standing. He was speaking to
himself. He said he had no transport fare to move from one
place to another.

He said his suffering was too much that he could hardly
feed. I also heard him saying life was meaningless to him.
He mentioned Buhari many times, and the next thing I saw,
the man jumped from the bridge into the water.

“He is an
Igbo man because he was speaking the language. I thought
he was joking when he said he was tired of everything
around him.

“If not for a speedboat that was passing, he would have
died. The boat stopped and the passengers dragged him to
the riverbank and they continued their journey. “Thereafter,
nobody was ready to assist him. People simply looked at
him, expressed sympathy and continued their journey.
I
have to call an emergency number,” he said. Before the
ambulance came, it was gathered that sympathisers,
including Mr Odiaka, contributed about N1,000 with the
intention of taking the victim to the hospital. Another witness said he ran to the place and saw the man almost dying, but did not know what to do to help him out of the situation.
He said he mobilised others at the scene to donate money to take the victim to a hospital.

“The man said he was tired of life and he wanted to kill himself,” he said. When the man’s
pockets were searched for any means identity, only N90 was
found on him.
