Only God knw the numbers of live that have perished inside that Lagoon. A responsible govt would have make an iron bar or cage round the length of the bridge.

No matter how, suicide is not a solution.

Hmmm. Things are hard for some people, that big man wey you see with big car might be passing through some challenges. But, suicide is never the option. May God continue to strengthen those passing through one or two challenges. My sincere sympathy to Okada riders that their Okada have been seized. May things turn around for them in a miraculous way and may suicide never be their portion.

Amin.

Oga. Whether you like it or not. Every death is a goverment statistic and ultimately a goverment responsibility. When the statistic becomes visible it will certainly become a political issue because folks will be seeking explanations, answers and solutions from the leadership they elect.

If I run my car into a ditch and kill myself you may say it is not goverment"s business, it is my fault, but when hospitals are getting filled with corpses and cases it will certainly become a political issue because the role of the goverment through the FRSC will come under scrutiny.

Once again donot be beclouded by sentiment. The number of suicides on that bridge alone in the past few years is visible and a cause for concern and the goverment should wake up and take note. It is a political matter. They either solve it, slow it or make way for those who care and can.

That should be your minimum duty as a citizen of this country who cares about his fellow man above his personal interest. To hold those in office accountable for the welfare of all men and women of this country.

When a gun man runs riot in the USA and shoots people it instantly becomes a political football. The argument doesn't start and ends with the mental state of the shooter. People question gun laws and regulation, question police profiling, question the second amendment. Here we hold no one accountable except blame the victims.
We have all read stories of people drinking sniper because of being jilted by a boyfriend or a girlfriend, and many other personal reasons like hearing voices in their head telling them to kill themselves. Tell me how the government is responsible for that.

That is the social or civic responsibility of goverment. You have child welfare there for those who abuse children. Every suicide has a reason and society led by goverment does not fold its arms and watches people kill themselves and others.

Goverment can as well say it is not its business who contacts the HIV, it did not send anyone to u guarded sex. But that is classic third world thinking.

You seem to have a mental disconnect as to what goverment is all about and I can understand it comes from generations of feudal rule followed by colonial rule that has made goverment appear as a heavenly establishmemnt and its members some divine untouchable beings to be worshipped and adored.

Oga. Goverment is simply a set of people we chose to represent us to handle our collective needs and project our collective ideals under a law we collectively make. If you feel goverment shouldn't care it simply means you donot care.

That defines the kind of society a people chooses to live in. Little wonder Nigeria is like this. Personaly I just cannot understand why Nigerians have a very low expectation of themselves. We live very brutish, uncultured, uncaring lives. Numbed by nothing. Its inhuman please.

False belief. Eternal hell fire is a concept introduced by the Greeks in the form of hades. The Romans changed hades to Pluto. And the Christian writers decided to incorporate the concept into their new religion.

Judaism has no concept. Moses never mention hell or hell fire in the Pentateuch.

Depression is so bad. Why take your life? If the burden, sorrow or heartbreak you're facing is too much, it doesn't warrant you to take your life. Just live your life and be faithful to God. Everything in life mustn't be pleasing. Things happen for a reason. If your friends are rich and you are not SO WHAT? You didn't come to this world with him. If you're financially broke and people mock you for it, SO WHAT? We need to stop putting our mind to the things happening around us. We should put our mind and faith in God. He knows what's happening to me and if i die natural death because of it, he knows why too. We don't know what happens after death. Death is just like an adventure we are afraid to experience. Perfect your life with christ even with all the difficulties and you'll enjoy what comes next

I cannot agree with you that government can do anything about the way people handle their breakups. You shouldn't be putting relationship issues in the same category with HIV please.

You are still speculating.

In the absence of irrefutable evidence that this man committed suicide due to a government policy rather than for personal and or emotional reasons, It is improper for one to come to a conclusion on one side or the other.
It isn't about coming to conclusion, or don't you get it?
Reference is simply implying that Government policies (good or bad) can trigger certain chain-reactions in the citizens lives, or mode of living.

The app as permission to view your contact. Once you don't pay on due date, they will send message to all your contacts that your are a fraudster and that your defrauded them and that they will arrest you. Even if the loan is 5k. Interest rate is close to 40% and you are to payback between 5days to a maximum of 15 days. Just imagine you get a loan of 10k to pay back 14k within 5 days. They will use call to disturb your life from 2 days to due date and threaten you and your family. Stay away
