Stanleyville:
Overrated tbvh....maybe na only me

I take this as a rhetorical question.

But hey, let me indulge you.

Even Nigeria wants to Leave Nigeria, Nigeria don tire for Nigeria.

Who doesn't want better life?
This small 70-80 Years wey I get to live, make I come spend am for suffer head?

It not just about money...

Its about security, good and affordable healthcare, functional system, peace, level headedness, living among "sane" people.

The rest of the world has gone far, they've gone hyper nuclear and we are still battling stone age problems here.

Abeg me sef go like go where light dey shine for up for night.

Thanks. I have modified my original comment to include a response I gave to another user.

grandstar:
Also, take note that exercise is a natural anti-depressant and our forebears had plenty of that through heavy lifting farm work that was the nirm back them.

The rise of the machines have changed all that.

Now don't get me out of context.

I perfectly understand and know that depression can occur on a physiological level for most people.

My worry, and that is what fueled my original comment is that depression seems to spike in spite of us (humans as a collective) achieving and inventing things that should make life and living easier.

I made reference to our forebears for a reason.

Back then, they had what you'll refer to as basic human problems; what to eat, where to source water in the dry seasons, how to stay warm. Solving any of this problem gave them them the required dopamine dose they needed to keep it moving. Do not also neglect the fact that they maintained a well balanced social structure; close knit family, community... Etc.

These days, we've contravened most of those, we now live in isolation while technology brings people closer which has its downside; unhealthy comparisons and pressure to meet up.

Wrong diet, less physical activity, easy availability of drugs.

Human satisfaction has dropped over the years, you don't think there's a reason for it?


All I've enumerated above impacts on depression and our modern life supports it.

So do you still think my original comment came from a place of ignorance?

Breakingnews101:
Educate yourselves more on depression and suicide fam.

I'm not trying to glorify depression and suicide, but I can tell you categorically it's not this simple. It's not this black and white!

It cuts deep to the cellular and anatomical levels fam, a rather simple (not perfect tho) analogy will be hormones controlling how some women feel around and about their cycles (premenstrual syndrome) or how some women feel during pregnancy (and it sometimes gets pretty bad) Heard of post natal depression? The emphasis here is on 'some'. Get it?

Seek first to understand before being understood.

I understand most of you guys do not have enough information to form informed opinions , what I do have a problem with is when having being presented with life giving information/knowledge you do not correct your mentalities.

Do not look down on people with mental health struggles, don't judge them. If we can't be part of the solution , don't worsen the problem!

Rest in peace Cheslie.

In comparison between life as it is now and life as it was 1,000 years ago, you'll agree with me that there has been economic advancement in human life but as a collective and as individuals.

Emmanuel30a:
Dont Generalize Economic Advancement. Not Talking The Suicide Victim Anyway.

You know you could have made your point without degenerating to derogatory word?

In my comment, where did I down play the issue of mental health?

Angel55555:
That's the problem with an average Nigerian, no one believes in mental health issues that's why it's easy for pastors and iman to scam an average nigerian through religion. Life is hard, if it's easy for you then be grateful instead of behaving like a dick smh

What's the probability that of all days, its the day she " get's pushed " that she coincidentally writes nay this day bring you rest and peace?

thesicilian:
Nothing cryptic about "May this day bring you rest and peace". It's a normal thing people say everyday, just that when when someone dies, people start reading meanings into the last things they said or did.

I doubt it, she left a cryptic message on social media.

thesicilian:
She may have been pushed

Suicide rate is just skyrocketing, humans have become so weak, with all the technological and economic advancement, we still are very unsatisfied and depressed.

Our forebears with less had a more rewarding existence.

Lack of real problems is becoming a problem in itself.

Felt I should post my response to another user below.

This ugliness is becoming a trend.

Agreed, betrayal by a loved one is painful to bear, but
Why take out your anger and frustration on an innocent kid?

People are becoming rather too sensitive these day, if na so our parents weak, we for nor dey here.

Develop a tough skin folks, life is not fair on its own, disappointments abound everywhere, its left for us to manage it well and respond appropriately.

I have only one RIP to give and its for the innocent son.

I won't throw the baby with the bath water because you made some sense.

We need to realise that in the international comity, nothing is fair and a lot of underhand covert dealings go on.

If you're talking about fraud, fingers should point at them first before us. Why do they have a swiss bank? What's the idea behind it? To safeguard stolen wealth, and mind you, this will can easily revert to them upon the demise of an account holder if no one knows of the wealth stashed in they banks.

Then, in the balance of trade, we all know that international trade tilts in favour of the developed nations.

I align with your views about government having covert operatives who will be charged with pilfering information and assets relevant to us as a nation.

We don't have to crucify all convicted fraudsters and internet hustlers, some can be recruited to do the Nation's bidding.

And let me honest with you, most of these countries you see wailing about Nigeria and fraud are just being pretentious because they do worse, they just feel bad they can't monopolize the business.

Get success, get money o.

Make your Uni for beg you to come back even after you don Japan.

She's American joor

I don't think its that serious, a person is free to endorse or market a product even though he doesn't use it. Its a free market.

The offence would arise when a person knowingly endorses a product when he knows it has latent defects, like Tinubu selling Buhari to Nigerians as the best discovery since after jollof rice. In a working environment, he ought to be doing time behind bars, but instead he has returned to market another very latently defective product ( himself) to us. Seems he's a merchant of bad and expired products.

SAY NO to him! And the ilks that support and market his merchandise to us on this forum e.g. the dead meat seller.

I'm tempted to ask, did they purchase the land from the owner?

Normally...

Religion like cults thrive on same principles; strike fear in the hearts of your perceived enemies by your braggadocio, threaten violence and if need be use same.

Infiltrate and take a hold of key government persons and have them on your pay roll.

Organized religion is like the Mafia; organized crime.

Very impressive.
Finishing looks neat.

The buck stops on the President's table my friend. These people do not understand the concept of responsibility.

Plus you rode on the anti kwaraption wings, now you're bereft of ideas.

But wait o, how this mumu man go rope me in when I nor follow dem share all the recovered assets and loans?

Is he aware that his tenure expires next year? Yesterday was about extending petroleum subsidy removal till 18 months, now, he's signing a pledge to end open defection by 2025. He should just complete his tenure and go joor.
