Attempted suicide on her birthday
The woman was rushed from her room to hospital after she drank some poisonous substances.

A woman in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, who tried to commit suicide on her birthday, said she would “return as a man” in her next life.

The woman, Dorothy Edet, was found unconscious in her apartment in Uyo on Sunday morning after taking some poisonous substances, apparently, according to multiple posts on Facebook from people familiar with the incident.

Rescuers, prompted by her suicide note which she posted on Facebook, broke her door, rushed her to the hospital where she was revived.

Her sister confirmed to PREMIUM TIMES, Sunday morning, that Ms Edet was “fine.”

Friends and sympathisers have taken to Facebook to mobilise support, including financial support, for the woman, who appeared to have been battling depression before the suicide attempt.

Ms Edet has been a volunteer on sexual assault, according to her Facebook page. “I am a leader that is empathetic, compassionate, understanding, selfless and open-minded,” she said of herself, on the social media site.

Her suicide note, written in the form of a poem, revealed the turbulent she has been going through.

“ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!!” She wrote.

Sweet, sweet, suicide


Will you visit me tonight/

Tired of feeling suicidal when my aspirations are stifled

Fighting back tears while smiling from ear to ear

I know God won’t help

He’s good

I need to believe in myself

I would

But every time I try

Dark forces pull me behind


My unfulfilled dreams haunt me incessantly

They depend on me to thrive.

Its My BIRTHDAY Anyways.

But I have to Go.

Tired of All this headaches and Pains.

Smiling outside while bleeding inside.

Saying I’m Okay when I’m Not.

I will return as a Man

To fight for women and young girls

I will not spare any RAPIST

I’ll be a Judge with a difference.

I’ll speak for the voiceless.

And Bless the Poor.

My second coming will be AMAZING.

LET ME REST!!!

Ms Edet, in the suicide note, wrote on how she would love to fight for women’s rights, be hard on rapists, and be a voice for the voiceless.

It is unclear, for now, if she has been a victim of gender violence.

Her note, however, mirrors the challenges some young women in Nigeria go through and their feelings of helplessness.

its a pity you are a victim of rape, but you would have never been allowed to reincarnate if you had succeeded in taking your own life.

One of the wickedness of men towards women, see where it would have led her,I pray she overcome all of these.Thank God she was saved

Yes she got help and was rushed to the hospital

Even if it were possible, she thinks returning as a man in her next life will be a joy ride, she must be hallucinating. Of course she has to blame men for her woes as if women are any better. The earlier she realizes the world doesn't revolve around her the better she will be.

If re-incarnation is true nobody will make hell fire his/her eternal abode.

See as she resemble toy.

God abeg o,dis one resemble witch for face o. Nawa o,see open teeth of vampire. I wish na me get that kind open teeth,

The interesting thing is "had u gone, when u come back as a man, Thesame gender u wish to come and stand for will still accuse u of rape and u will be behind bars"

then your next note would read, "let me go and rest"

say no to RAPE/False Rape Accusation

If only she knows what men go through she will gladly embrace her gender.

U think say no be wahala make men lifespan dey shorter compared to woman's own.

Sucide not an option

Ogbanje and evil spirit at work.

I just wanna fu*k outta this world! I'm just frikkin' tired of everything!

Depression is real

Dear fake feminists, your food is ready.

Look at her ugly diastema...let her keep her mouth shut if she has nothing to say.

O dabi wipe won ti lo pata e

If men are so terrible why would she hope to come back as a man? Abi you skipped that part?

Is that a diastema or a removed tooth?
