JKisOK:
The way suicides have made it first choice, Sniper insecticide may just be attracting unhealthy attention from the authorities. Many Nigerians committing suicide have taken to gulping down the substance, with a highly fatal result.

Relatively new in the market, Sniper appears to have been formulated along the line of Otapiapia, which was also a local anti-pest solution. Otapiapia also in the 1980s and 1990s became a favourite suicide tool, especially in the South-East. Sniper seems to have taken over.

Should the government clamp down on Sniper, it may be shutting down a good business, resulting in job losses, investment trapping, with wide implications for those servicing and benefiting down the product's supply chain.

But this raises several questions.

Is there an iron-clad case to call for banning the production and sales of Sniper?

Does Sniper account for the majority of deaths and is Sniper the only way out for people bent on committing harakiri?

Should the manufacturers of Sniper be blamed for the abuse of their highly effective insecticide?

What will happen should Sniper be banned and depressed and desperate people embrace some other solutions?

Banning sniper is only treating the symptoms and not the major root cause, it would be like banning the whole media because that's the major medium for comparison of social status, appearance, relationship, career etc etc.

With an improved economy and standard of living the rate of suicide would for sure subside.

5&6

I don't think banning sniper insecticides is the best option because they are a whole lot of bottled insecticides one can easily get, may God help his own.

Banning Sniper would be like cure is better than prevention which is should be the other way round

Every thing can be abused in Nigeria. Sniper happens to be one of abused substance by some depressed people.

See enn.. My problem is not even with people drinking sniper or reading suicide news again.. Nowadays, I laugh after reading suicide news and simply say to myself "another idiot gone again"

These people committing suicide do so, to know how much they will be missed by their friends and loved ones..how many people will cry, how they will cry, who will cry more etc.. It is more like, they want to witness their own death while still alive.. Really crazy.. Because before now, suicide was - kill yourself and go your way..

But now, suicide is - take pictures with sniper, post it on social media, pose, post short video crying, write series of posts and then die, just to get social media attention.

That thing is not depression...it is either there is a mumu spirit telling these persons to do it and see how they will be missed/how much they are loved OR they are just being plain stupid.

Social media has really made people stupid and vissionless.. Not sniper..

What do I even know sef just saying my own

you actually have a point

As hard as it may seem or sound, I think some people are actually committing suicide to get love and attention from social media

It has become a trend many are following now.


I think the news filtering the air whenever someone commits suicide is also contributing

You know nothing about life and what people are going through!

tell that to a rich kid who has never done anything in his life b4.. I might agree, but not me.

I can say, even without knowing you, that I've been through a lot more than you do.. If I had ended it all back then, I won't be where I am today..

If not for the fact that I m a Christian by now, I should have followed this step since. My God whom I serve W will not be happy with me but I know he will surely deliver me from the grips of debt that is tormenting me. I shall live to be great in Jesus name. I m made up and determined to continue.. The worst those I owe can do is to sent me to prison..... All I know is that when God answers me I will ask pay their money. SAY NO TO SUCIDE

Boss am going thru the same wilderness of debt but i know God will deliver me..
