Africans! Nigerians! Zombies of the highest order.

I bet you in the end, Africans are just good examples on how humans are not supposed to live.

It's quite sad that when you get to Mali, Cameron's, Niger, Ghana and even to South Africa mostly part populated by blacks and the rest of the subharan Africa you'd get to notice that every of our sense of thoughts either rich or poor is all wired the same, first it's always the battle of the first generation of how to escape poverty then, how to not get broke again later how your generation would never be poor again forgetting that it takes just one wretched child, sad incidence or whatever for all that's ever worked for to be gone in a day, everyone is just all about themselves, just themselves that's why you see greed, selfishness and corruption thrives best cause to everyone Africa is just but how to survive, this is where everyone doesn't just want to live in, everyone sincerely just wants to be free from this contraption and if not for taxes and strict laws Abroad, every rich individual would be doing business in Nigeria from Abroad also if our politicians had a chance they'd rule Nigeria from abroad same way Buhari is doing that's why you see even the least councilors and local government chairman don't stay in their local government, most of them live either secretly or publicly in the capital city because of course that's the best place to live? Who'd want to live in the village filed with people who expects that because you work for government you need to dash people money around and if you don't do as expected you'd be termed selfish and this might trampled your political career so if you want to be that good politician, you must be a giver and from which purse are they expected to give if not stealing from the government purse to please the people as such to every one kobo given, one naira is deducted from the government purse which was meant to serve real underlying projects, contracts or whatever but because Nigerians themselves are greedy, they'd expect the big man to give not minding if he's splashing the money meant for government contracts.

Government official is not supposed to dash people money but here in Africa, you see governors buying vehicles for paramount rulers and we clap for them for breaking the codes of thee Public Service but the prime minister of UK renovated his house, BOOM everyone started questioning where he got the funds cause its a transparent world there and everything must be done transparently but here in Africa, people who head government schools don't even have their kids in government school (just like a restaurant owner not eating from his restaurant) but we have sycophants clapping all along for what's wrong.


Nigerians are going through alot but to be sincere, everyone just merits the measure of pain we are going through because we are just not so different from how we want our leaders not to be.

A Nigerian entrepreneur would maltreat his employees at the slight chances then uses same mouth to criticize the government.

A Nigerian common security at the gate of an organizations feels its rather wise to oppress, extort others all for the fact that he's the security man.

Nigerians don't just care about the next door neighbor and sometimes even members of the family don't care about their family members too, everyone is just about themselves that's why you see life in Africa is just battle of the fittest and only the strong lives while the rest continues in the race of survival, eat small food, build small houses, have a small car or sometimes non and what next? Die leaving your family to with the choice of selling off your property to bury you cause you were the all in all, you never thought of opportunities you could present for others to rise and in the end all that you've worked for just gone like that.

No one cares!

In schools, it's student against lecturers, lecturers against management and management against their respective state government or federal.

In the society, its government against the people and the people against government

Police against the people, everyone just has their measure of evil against the next person. I have watched a female officer shut the door on a poor boy who came for an interview just because she didn't like the boys dress; what if that was the only pairs of cloth which the boy had? Has she not broken a law by not allowing fair treatment in this instance? Oh! Just like every other person, she was just expressing her Nigerianess.


If only we cared about what our next generations would look like, the kind of environment you'd wish for them to grow we as a people would already be pushing the government, pressuring them on what to and what not to at every point in time.

Everyone is judging the camera man but in the end have you ever wondered or asked yourself why a boy of that age with no source of income, impregnates a girl and start a family when he is being sustained by another person? Have we ever thought about the future of the kid who'd grow up with no opportunity morally, technically, educationally and every "ally". This sh**t happens everywhere, children raising children under the parents roof. Ave we ever thought of the poor child, the difficult and struggles of life the child will see? I though children were the foundation of the society? Ave we wondered what foundation our kids are raised? If child rights law in Nigeria was successfully effected & implented, in the first place, what would trigger a person who can't take care of himself to want to raise a child after the fore knowledge of the impending danger that would befall him from the government if the child is not properly taken care of? Of course you know about child support, that way people can only raise kids when ready and not when it rains, also we can start from raising a sane society.

The rate rate of suicide in the country the past years is alarming, it clearly shows everything is wrong in the society. People who commits suicide sometimes don't want to die but just wants their pain, challenges to go away.

Graduates will finish from school, no work and the next advise is for he/she to start getting is to start a business, from which money?

I pity Africans cause we will never grow with this attitude

Wow. Tragic. Feel bad for the young wife and infant daughter he left behind. Dude is virtually a baby himself in Nigerian age.

The hardship in the country means majority of 25 year old live with parents, or other family members, and are being supported by them.

Life just overwhelmed him. There are so many young Nigerians, 14 to 26, just hustling daily to eat while living rough. Their parents dont know where they are and don't care.

I just don't know why Nigerian leaders continue shying away from insisting on family planning.

Adults irresponsibly having children they cannot care for, and later abandon, is literally killing Nigeria.

For those who are accusing the person that recorded the video why he did not rescue the deceased, are you guys blind to see that the guy was sitting in a dangerous position. Any attempt to hold him at that moment would have resulted in both the guy and the rescuer falling inside the lagoon. So unfortunate he died that way.
At the same time, I condemn early marriage in its entirety. Imagine blaming the parents for not taking care of a married man, when he is supposed to be taking care of his parents. If you have a means of livelihood, you can marry anything you want, otherwise, why rushing into marriage at such early stage. Such depression would have been avoided if he did not have a family to cater for at the age of 25 years without tangible means of sustenance, considering the perilous times we find ourselves orchestrated by evil old men who call themselves leaders.
May his soul rest in peace.

Hmm...someone who would have saved his life was busy taking video of him so that he can post on social media and trend.

Let's think about this, marijuana is one of the causes of depression in many smokers, it reduces dopamine level in their brain and make them numb to emotions, the pain excessive marijuana intake causes to your sense of reality can literally make a smoker commit sucide. It is always cool when people think you smoke marijuana but the damage it does to your brain is sometimes irreversible.

The sad part is that the man has left this world and his wife will have to continue the journey of taking care of their daughter by any means possible.


Hmmm
Please do not mislead innocent NLders
How can a Holy Plant be the source of depression?

That is how they stop People from Jumping from Buildings

Many of them latter go back to say" Thank you" because they didn't realize what they were doing at Time

Do you know Nnamdi Azikiwe was so frustrated that he tried to kill himself when he was just 23 years old

It was a kind hearted Black American that saw him and dragged him off the Railway Tracks and encouraged him to keep on living

Look What Nnamdi Azikiwe later became the Premier of the Eastern Region and the first Ceremonial Nigerian President before he passed away at almost 94 years

That guy was determined to die,He wouldn't have allowed anyone come close to him before jumping of the rail and that was exactly what he did when he thought the cameraman was getting too close to him.

Which kind married man? Does impregnating a girl translate to marrying her? Many young men of this generation do not have their priorities right.

cry depression is so freaking real.
I remembered 4 years ago when I was so depressed I wanted to kill myself, I even wrote down the date of my suicide, what was left was for me to think if a method to kill my self and when I finally found a method I felt so relax.
The thought of ending this pain was so satisfying i started talking and doing things like my last things to do on earth like a bucket wish.
It wasn't easy, that feeling of hopelessness when you feel there is nothing you can do about that pain that you want to end it so badly.
At that point in my life I was having serious academic problems, financial problems, I felt so useless in my life like I was a big failure.
I didn't want to talk to anybody or even see anybody.
Then one day a neighbour's of mine drag me to her church and that day I felt like the pastor was preaching directly to me.

The pastor said so many words that I break down cry that sermon was about life and how we can move past difficulties, I swear I went home and start crying.
It was not like I wasn't depressed anymore but I wasn't suicidal, I had a motivation that day to do everything to solve my problems.

It's wasn't easy of course but I didn't want to kill myself anymore, I work through the pain, the problems and take one day at a time.
And look at me now years later still alive lol.
I have graduated, not really gotten a good job or even financially okay but I am sure better than I was and I know the future is going to be good

It seems you don't know where this thing happened? Pls watch the video again, it was impossible to save looking at where and how he positioned himself.

The wife should not blame his parents, it's absurd casting aspersion on his parents, he may be suffering but not only him, there are ppl who are suffering more than him.
