Just take it easy. Suicide will only coz sorrows to the people left behind without actually solving the problem that led to it in the first place.

to hell with family sorrow. People's memory is like a leaking basket. After a year the forget about you. Allow him to take the easy way out. Its bliss

I have buried my mother , my father, my wife and my baby in a piece of land I have not even started building anything on. my father became an invalid for 7 years before he died; i bathe and changed him like a baby. my wife died exactly one year that my father died. financial not making headway. lost interest in everything I use to enjoy doing. currently ran away from my house because the memories of my wife is too much. we were just married for 3 years. have contemplated joining her but our first son is just less than 2 years.

Like I said before, Please take heart Bro. Just manage and have a little ray of hope. Above all, hang around people, family and friends. Dont stay alone for long. Remember the little boy whose destiny hangs on your neck. Please do not disappoint that boy.

Be strong.
Make sure you connect with God fearing friends that will uplift your mood.
Look for a spiritual mentor that you can always reach when you are down.

Look at your young son and draw strength from him.
Avoid being alone and any thing that will make you unhappy at all cost.

I am positive you will get through this.

I sincerely empathise with you dear brother. It's a lot to bear but with the right attitude, you'll get over it. Your loved ones are resting with God. I believe that they'll be happier knowing that you're picking up and moving on with life against all odds. I remember a Nigerian in the UK who lost ALL his 5 children in a fire at home some years ago. A heartbreaking experience but he still chose to stand with God to recover from his grief. Remember also that the man who wrote the song "It Is Well With My Soul" lost his wife and children in a ship that sank while traveling to join him.

Life is indeed full of mysteries. Our attitude makes a difference in how we react to situations. That's not to say you're wrong to feel despondent. The point is, avoid entrenching that feeling in your life. Live well to glorify God and make their impact in your life meaningful by being thankful for the great times you had. I pray that the people around you are able to provide the much needed comfort. Otherwise, please seek out old reliable friends ( like old classmates, helpful Church/Mosque groups) to spend your idle time with. Every problem has an expiry date. Trust God, It shall be well with your soul. You will recover and have cause to rejoice again by God's grace.

there is old saying that when you see a rat run into fire you should know that what is pursuing the rat is hotter than the fire, probably he must have gotten himself into something and now is hunting him back there by making him to choose this particular option as the one torturing him might be worst.

This talk of village people is always strange
Japanese love to commit suicide - both in the villages and in hen urban areas - out of pride
Americans commit suicide than Nigerians - where are the villagers?

Suicide is a demonstration of Self love! People commit suicide because they hate to see themselves suffer so they take their own life.

...the suffer is too much everywhere. I just graduated from university waiting for NYSC....life has been hell, no help from anyone sometimes I just feel like ending it once and for all.. .


You don't have to do anything bad, I know how you feel ,it's hard to fight ;turn to God

His identity was confirmed as Dr.orji and he was returning from the church which brings me to the question of what was taught him at the church?
Its high time preachers teach their disciples the truth about life that its full if challenges. Even prophet Isa (Jesus) whom xtians revere so much faced lot of challenges but nay, they prefer to preach prosperity and shout holy ghost fire on non existing enemies and cap it with the encouragement of offerings and tithes.
No one should be in best position of handling depression more than a medical doctor, even coming from a supposedly religious gathering.
May God grant his family the fortitude to bear the loss.

According to reports trending online, a yet to be identified man asked his driver to stop on third mainland bridge, came out of his car and jumped into the lagoon.

No one, including his driver, knows why he made that decision.

His car is pictured below..
