The police command in Lagos has confirmed that a 27-year-old man, Omotola Onayemi, also known as `Ola-brain’, on Monday, committed suicide for alleged frustration.

The reports that the incident happened in Epe Local Government Area of Lagos State, at about 5:30 a.m. on Monday.

Ademola Ogunjobi, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Epe Branch, confirmed the incident in an interview with NAN.

“The corpse has been deposited in a mortuary at Epe General Hospital for further investigation,’’
the DPO said. An eyewitness, Tunde Badmus, told NAN, that the incident happened at Idi-Aba area of Epe.

He said that the young man committed suicide by hanging himself to death early hours of Monday.

According to Mr Badmus, the deceased was once a ‘yahoo-yahoo’ boy before his mother stopped him from such acts.

Quote
“The young man was found roaming around the streets and probably felt frustrated after leaving the yahoo-yahoo job and decided to hang himself.

“I was surprised seeing him dead by hanging early hour of today in the area,”
he said.

NAN reports that the deceased mother, who is a widow, declined comments as she was still in shock.

Well, the current structure of the Nigerian socio-economic situation leaves little room for legitimate self actualisation. Forget that some of us managed to do it the hard way, unaided, using our own devices. Most cannot and would not discover the way to earn a legitimate living that is enough to afford them a decent standard of living... Hence the reason why yahoo yahoo is the most pragmatic option for many.

By the time you successfully dissuade most young guys from doing yahoo, some would end up like this (frustration and suicide), while the vast majority would channel their frustration towards other deadlier forms of criminality (kidnapping and armed robbery). Only a tiny percentile would revert to the default poverty level that Buhari's government insists that they were destined to belong - roadside tailor, 'forkanizer', bus conductor, and other menial vocations.
