Soldiers die for others to live. People are killed for committing robbery. People die having sex in brothels. People get knocked down by hit and run driver. People die from liver and kidney problems got from bad lifestyles. We all going to die in one or another. It is the way of mortals .

Although the mourner sounds like the type who exaggerate things a bit when they are emotional, this man died because he tried too hard to achieve success. He was not forced. He chose. He should not be blamed too much for TRYING. We are all in it till papa calls.
every man to his own belief and convictions. It's unfortunate this man died. There are people who are naturally like this, it's an impulsive desire in them but sometimes because they lack the gusto to say no. I have read through all comments on this but like someone said with or without you life moves on. I have a brother who is very supportive to all of us even to me but in all honesty he wasn't looking at his own good but was always placing every other persons interest above his lncluding those of his friends. One day I called him and I said enough is enough you must start taking care of yourself and your future especially now that you have a family while doing this I know that if he takes my advice I will be equally affected but I never mind. Through to my word he took my advice. Today he never respond as he used to even to me. But it is better he is alive than end the way this man did. Of what good will his death be to me if I had fail to advice him. Of what good is this man's death to all those who have been a leech on him.
Whatever we do in life however good, however worthy, however noble, however selfless : tread with caution. Life is worth living, it's sacred and attaining one glory must not lead to its destruction. HBD to all born to eternal life. You are not dead but only transisted.

You are the one who is pathetically naive in all of these. You are too eager to counter me with some prejudicial mentality that "you are so naive about some of your saying". You seem to be unsettled by my opinions on issues. Well, the constitution guarantees me right of expression and I have no apology to offer for that.

Now, it is either you didn't read my write-up with open mind or you read it upside down. I did not say that EVERBODY who died from kidney or liver problems died from recklessness but of course many of them actually died from their bad lifestyles. No doubt about this.

My point of submission is that everybody dies as a result of something and the dead man in question should not be berated for 'living in his own way' and going the way of all mortals.

Finally, I want to assure you that you will keep stumbling on my opinions on this forum because I will stick around as long as possible. I look forward to reading your opinions too if you can articulate them. Enjoy your Sunday. Fear not but believe!
Why do people insult another person very-very well FIRST, before making their point?
Nigerians youth can NEVER work together to achieve any result with this attitude.

Once I know that I'm going to recieve heavy ABUSE AND INSULT IMMEDIATELY I express my opinion, then na to stay off and keep my ideas to myself.

He was foolish.

He broke God's commandment.

Keep holy the Sabbath Day. For Christians, that is Sunday.

Rest on Sunday. He didn't rest.
Now he's dead

All that he worked for, where is it now? One idiot will use his money to buy iPhone X, later throw it away and buy iPhone 11...
Bro, how does 'keep holy' translate to 'rest'? Christians works on Sundays and most times tiring. Not referring to ordinary members. He died a good man! They didn't even tell us what actually killed him. Useless people that doesn't care about family also die untimely!

You have no idea what you are saying...I have been a victim of such and can tell you that sometimes family is a core weakness you cannot help with.

Sad he lost his life, because the idiots he gave up his life fighting for might be fools who just don’t want to do anything but bear children like rats with no efforts on how to train them

I can't kill myself trying to please anyone. Anyone I've sent money, I've done so out of my own abundance, out of my willingness to help and not to please him or her.
I can't even work extra just to meet up with the obligation of helping someone.
Nigerian relatives are used to bugging people with useless requests but no be who you get his number you go bug?

You know them well. The my son's birthday is next week people. Wetin concern me with your son's birthday or dedication, na me born am for you people?
They will always tell you country hard but that doesn't stop them from idling around, living all their daily lives in church programs rather than working hard to feed their families. When it's time for their kids school fees, they will forget to run to the pastors they pay tithe to and come to you, the imaginary tree that bears money.

So he died because he worked 7days in a week in the US?

That means those who work in Nigeria 6 days a week under a very harsh condition and little salary should have died long ago.

He didn't die because of the work or helping people. Only God knows what led to his death. Pray he RIP, simple. And life continues for the living.

Exactly. Not that you should shun dependent friends and relatives completely, but do the best you can and don't let anybody weigh you down with excessive demands

If you bend over backwards and and work overtime because you want to please a bunch of leeches, you'll have no one but yourself to blame once the pressure starts to take it's toll on your body

Re: ''He Died Because He Wanted To Please Everybody'' Nigerian Man Mourns His Friend by Rockyfancino(m): 9:03pm On Oct 06, 2019
Many people wouldn't understand. I'm an example here and I made the decision just this night that I will stop and only focus on my happiness from now on. I'm less than 25 and I already have white hair sprouting out of everywhere of my body. God showed me health and happiness and I will not throw it away because of anybody. Imagine, ever since somebody has been born. People even started calling me a computer sometime ago. It's not only when you're working 7 days a week you're working to please people. You may have been trying to please your family all your life without you speaking a word of it and them not knowing and everything leads into chaos because you'll never know peace for yourself. Everyone in this world has his own bag to carry and anyone who is not willing to see, just ask God to guide that person. Jesus already died once, he did not say you should comman die again. As long as you do not leave God alone, he'll work it himself.
I just made this decision this night and I stumbled upon this afterwards. Small world.

"Love your neighbour as yourself" saith Jesus Christ. That means show equal love to your neighbour as you will do to yourself.

Why then do relatives expect you to show more love to them than you will do to yourself. It's sad how they capitalise on someone's sincere love to help, and turn it to a heavy burden. An ATM that never lacks money. They hardly thought about your welfare but about themselves.

Help of yesterday suddenly becomes invalid until new one is meet. And the cycle continues. Endless cycle that leads to poverty and death! God punish poverty!

When parents spend their lifetime born up and down, placing responsibilities of their "God give" children on another child, that's what you get. Orgasms is not stress relief! Nigerians please plan your family and use birth control! Don't make your child take care of your children!
