Third Mainland Bridge: A Favourite Location For Acts Of Suicide by autojosh: 4:40pm On Jun 12, 2018 |
Unarguably, Nigeria has witnessed more suicide cases within the last 4 years than since when the country gained independence. Clearly, there is frustration and hardship in the land. These situations have been very effective in driving so many Nigerians into depression and other mental health conditions. Numerous cases of suicide are being reported from different parts of the country. Lagos state is not an exception. However, in Lagos state, one spot has become notorious as a location of choice, or a favourite, for those with tendency for suicide. That location is the Third Mainland Bridge. Frequently, Nigerians who have lost all reasons to keep staying alive travel all the way to the Third-Mainland Bridge. There, they take the very daring plunge into the Lagos lagoon, and then sink deep into their demise. So, how can this unfortunate trend be stopped? What measure needs to be put in place to prevent people from reducing the bridge to a place of death? Perhaps, the government – Federal or State – should consider erecting high mesh fences similar to the median fences being erected on Lagos expressways. Hopefully, if this is done, then the Third Mainland Bridge would stop being self-execution ground for depressed Nigerians. https://autojosh.com/third-mainland-bridge-a-favourite-location-for-acts-of-suicide/ 5 Likes 1 Share

Not just build high mesh fence but a total covered steel type like that of London, Newcastle and New York bridges. How can a bridge of such calibre shouldn't have a base steel to start with let along high mesh fence? 4 Likes |

You can never legislate against suicide........ If they want to kill themselves, nothing anyone can majorly do about it, they would still find a way..... Let's view it as an indirect means to correct population explosion...... 10 Likes 3 Shares |

A desperate suicidal-motivated mind can climb over any barrier in his/her quest to achieve the desired end....!! Attacking the root cause is always the ultimate solution and can never be over-emphasized...!!! Why do people turn to suicidal tendency as an option? How can we develop more closer and sincere relationships deviod of judgemental and condenmable approach even when they are guilty as charged? Just Asking though....!!!! 18 Likes |

so after covering the whole length of the bridge with a mesh would you also do the same for other bridges? maybe you would cover all canals with mesh also and stop unprescribed sale of rat poison... then you could also pass a law for authorized permit before anyone can buy a rope... there are better things to do.... who feels death is an easy way out should go ahead abeg and continue the suffering beyond this world, ONE LESS MOUTH TO FEED 2 Likes |

I have noticed something under heaven people forget that just as we have stomach pain, eye ache. Tooth ache, bone ache etc. The human head can also ache. We forget that the heart and the brain is the busiest in human body. They can also ache or malfunction occasionally. In this part of the world, we pay little attention to mental health or medical checkup. The brain can malfunction and the next action and of the person is never predetermined. 3 Likes |

If they like put the barricade or not someone that is tired of life will still climb it no matter how tall it is and still jump. And for those that will say before the person jump someone must have seen him or her and stopped the fellow .Hope you remember that people don't wait on that long bridge and people mostly don't look side self talk less of stopping the fellow trying to commit suicide. Come to think of it if it's even at night no one cares there on that bridge not to talk of seeing someone climbing and trying to stop 2 Likes |
