They should not forget about banning people from jumping off 3rd mainland bridge........

xynerise:
This is fuckedup

There are more than a 1000 ways to commit suicide...why thinking like a fuckedup nutcase?

the active ingredient in Sniper is DDVP (nerve poison). There zillions of insecticides in Nigeria with DDVP. NAFDAC is confused.

It was battery in those days...especially tiger batteries

gambia:
But THIRD mainland bridge is still open..

U r mard almost choked with laughter

JOHNSONSOLAFUNMI:
So those that lives in area where there are snakes and scorpions, won't be able to get sniper to fumigate their house, A man that's contemplating suicide won't think bout sniper, he use anything available, the government should set up committee to look into the rampant cases of suicide, not just banning sniper or can they ban rope and stool

The government are so clueless. My brother they are others. You can buy DDFORCE. it’s more powerful than snipper

Wat of otapiapia... E dey kill mosquito well well

Na WHAOOO

The manufacturers of sniper are silly. Even when news was awash about the negative use of their product, they still kept mum. Not even a press release. Sheer irresponsibility on their part, I wish they were banned. Nonsense.

Now I Know our Leaders Are bunch of FOOLS.

U have said it all

They should also ban 3rd mainland bridge

And this is how they killed this brand Sniper insecticide.

Banning sniper will not solve anything. There are many other alternatives out there people can use. The solution against suicide is to find the cause/reason behind it. The country is so messed up. Everything stopped working immediately the british handed over in 1960. Nobody sees a better Nigeria ahead because nothing is on ground to show that things will get better. Everybody needs hope but hope is not forthcoming. May God help us.

Gbam

When they ban sniper, won't people find other products to be used as poison? Nigeria is a place where people who ought to be proactive behave in a reactive manner...

So is there hope in suicide?

good move

Suicide aside, sniper is being abused by a lot of Nigerians and could lead to damaging consequences to their health in future. Sniper is a pesticide meant for outdoor use in dilute quantities. But a lot of Nigerians are using it as an insecticide and spraying it indoors in concentrated quantities. It's only a matter of time before it accumulates in the system and cause respiratory and circulatory disorders or even cancer.

That said, banning sniper will do little to solve the alarmingly increasing rate of suicide amongst the people.

I saw it coming!

Next is to ban ropes then ban ceiling fans, then ban stools or chairs, then ban otapiapia, then ban knives, then ban any other thing that people could use for suicide. Its a good idea to ban snipper and ignore why people take sniper. Let's just put plaster over a festering wound and neglect the wound. That makes plenty of sense

If Dem ban only SARS aswear Nigeria will be a better place

BanevsJoker:
While you're at it, please ban the Lagoon...and Knives...and tall buildings...and matches...and petrol...and SARS.

LONG OVER DUE.....I EXPECTED THIS LONG TIME

Well I have bought one already will make it two before they start enforcement.

We can make a difference with just a smile

Foolish Nafdac, Sniper have since upgraded to another name.
I won't mention it before some people will start asking for a ban on that too

Spray sniper after 1hr mosquitoes still dey dance zanku,but if Na human being under 10mins e don finish the person.

Exactly! Sniper was originally meant to be used in farms. The company just released an aerosol insectide. They should have done that ages ago when their products started being infamous as a means of suicide. I hope people don't get ideas about using the aerosols for similar purposes. As for reducing the amount of suicides, the ban would help greatly, people intend to commit suicides usually want a quick and relatively painless death. Other methods like hanging, cutting, drowning are too painful and onset of death is not immediate. At least it's going to much harder to buy death being sold dirt-cheap in a bottle.
