Anambra is always on the news lately for all the wrong reasons. They took a very bad decision now they are surely going to end in hell for taking the lives they never knew how it was created.

If only they knew they don't need their parents consent to get married. The decision to get married solely reside with the two individuals not parents, not relatives, not religious leaders.

Suicide is not an option, they should have travel to another place. Nigerian version Romeo and Juliet.

Low budget Romeo and Juliet!

as in, I tire.

Who parents epp? Una stupid to die because of parent consent. For me I don't give a Bleep about parent.

They both lack common sense. What I can see here is purely lack of sense. How can you take your own life because of presssure, why not Elope to another location.
Meanwhile Osu Caste system should be abolished entirely in Igbo Land.

This action wasn't the best at all, just like Nollywood. Their death isn't a guarantee that the law will be abolished

What will they tell the creator

One of them must be mentally deranged. But its unfortunate the other danced to the tone. Am sure they might be regretting by now. Even their families won't honour them and God also. because God has already warned 'thou shalt not kill ' and they did.

Instead of them to run to another part of the earth and live their lives, they decided to run outside the planet.

maybe that may be the fast means of transportation(escape);(

Awwall the cursed backward worthless shithole village of Anambra is at it again.. No good news from this state except cursed worthless news.. No wonder Anambra is cursed

Watch out for your ban

Naija Romeo and Juliet!

....And they decided to run beyond the borders of the Earth. This one concern them o

"Mumuism" with new levels. What happened to living your lives regardless of what people think or say? I bet they've been watching too much nollywood nonsense. Nonsense and ingredients.

wow..so romantic ;Dwow..so romantic

This is really sad. So this osu outcast shiyt is still in effect in some states? But they would have kuku eloped instead of towing this path. Hope their parents are happy now. See as dem keep sniper for side like say na trophy for committing suicide

Not in some but ALL. Ignore the social media facade for once. The Osu Caste system isn't going away anytime soon.

Typical Nigerian response to issues.
Everyone seems to be fixated on bashing the couple instead of concentrating on the message they used their very lives to transmit.

Talking about the afterlife and shit you are not even sure exists while pretentiously making their own hypocrisy ridden lives appear perfect.

The early National Assembly pass legislation on this Osu caste system curtail further discrimination the better. Despite the ongoing awareness on AIT base on movie title Silence Prejudice, my Igbo brethren remain adamant about the whole situation.

Nawa o.
Romeo and Juliet things.

Anyway when someone decides to take their own life, their is often very little you can do to stop them.

well, I kind of feel that this couple was killed by a third party and I call for proper investigation. 1 if they really drank that sniper, it is almost impossible to die in such a position like that. 2 they are meant to struggle till death due to the effect of the poison, how come the paper and the sniper bottle remain carefully placed beside each other. and how come the bedspread wasn't even rough. I suggest that a thourough forensic analysis

Fake news...rubbish..

This is too sick... and look at the handwriting. I never knew adults are capable of romieo and juleth type of love

Pathetic...
Thought this nonsensical tradition has been abolished years ago.

they don't even need to run anywhere (if they are self-reliant).

Mumu dem!
God give you life,good food with mouth to eat and a fantastic tongue to taste, eyes to see and appreciate colors.
You find love too, and you make wetin your parents think about you worry you soteyy you take your life!
Ungratefulness no dey wey big pass this one o
Carry your baby travel go start family after court don make your marriage legal! If you like,do it behind your parents back and God will still bless it! When God blesses your marriage nobody can curse it! Parental blessing is just an addition o!
Now una just die,and sniper don pepper una throat before una die!
Simple thing o!

Carry your ignorance go your own villa not here this is igboland. Even in the common law parental consent is needed plus witnesses. Just try carry one girl enter court and tell them you want to marry her and see if they will wed you at once

two idiots

wasted handwriting

. Both of them are on drugs,when two lovers are high on cannabis or something that’s how they reason.

Marriage that after one year they will start to manage themselves,quarrelling and settling all the time.
In a civilised world they both suppose go through drug taste.
And the state prosecutor will charge them if convicted will jail them.Their remains will be seize by government and it will be a lesson to some people......
Please if you have a challenge in life,call upon God the alpha and omega...don’t ever go for alcohol and drugs,it will increase your problems 100 times

Every true Igbo son and daughter should endeavor to marry through his or her tribe

Don't go and commit suicide and blame it on what u should have avoided period,no RIP to them

They are both Igbos. What could be more than tribe than that? You should be speaking up against the Osu Caste scourge and not what it is you are on about.

I don'tunderstand why someone will consider another human as a sub-human. Ironically, you share the same colour, speak the same language, eat the same delicacies, evendo business with them but when it comes to personal relationships, families kick and forbid it.

This life no just balance.... someone in the hospital right now is begging God for life and this ones just took their's like it's nothing may Jah have them in his memory. Amen

No matter what suicide isn't the best option...we all have our personal and family problems, me that is typing have seen 99 wetin remain make e be 100 But we all have to have faith in God.

Am not understanding again.....

The writing is from the girl though.

Stupidity at its peak!
Wen there are other better options.

Now who won Village pple or themselves!

Anambra version of Romeo and Juliet
