Nobody gets close to jumpers....... Any step taken by d guy with the camera, would hasten his jump...........

He couldn't have done any thing to save him anyways, cos the jumper's mind was already made up...

Perhaps, you've seen this movie, "Man on the ledge"....

It can only take a true genuine psychologist to talk the man out of jumping...... Reminding him of how he can still start all over, and that killing himself will only transfer the agony to his family.... And not ending it....


But for an average Nigerian, who must have come across the jumper by chance has no knowledge of what to do! He did the best thing to him, video!....

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.


You can only save a life that's in an accidental danger, i mean a situation where the victim is fighting by all means to be rescued, and not suicidal as of the case we have here ....

Painful he chose to end his life, all thanks to the videographer, how would we have known he committed suicide,. It would have just been a normal headline on the dailies, "corpse found on the lekki river"...

Any step taken by the videographer will only hasten the jump, which could as well be dangerous to the rescuer

Several factors may have led to his suicide.
1. Withdrawal syndrome from stopping drug or alcohol use suddenly
2. Debt and inability to meet his financial obligations
3. Untreated Progressive and degenerative mental illness due to hereditary, social, psychological or medical factors.
4. Spiritual attack

That crap the baby mama said about his family not helping him is BS. We are all responsible for our lives once we clock 21years old!

Smoking weed has nothing to do with his death. All these immature people when wan start family on nothing. Even the girl when never get sense dey mention he smokes AZ and not Colorado as if trying to put part of the blame on the poor smoke. They guy is a weakling and probably couldn't stand the pressures of life anymore. Dense Nairalanders like the ftc will quickly blame weed when they know nothing about smoking the good shid undecided

Calm down, you can't physically save someone in that situation,

1. Before you get to him he might jump and someone gonna say your action makes him jump

2. You are not qualified for that job

3. Your own life at risk

You can only call the police.

Sorry for this happening to your husband. I personally wish it never happened.

To thousands of young men out there starting life today. Life is a very long journey that you should attempt not to do it alone. Also avoid doing it without your parents and siblings if you have some. Don't allow shame and failure to distance you from people whom you know can be of help when you will need it.

A man should develop a short list of people that can help you financially, economically, socially and so on. Help is what we must need sometimes. Remember that the great Davido tested the waters of friendship recently by calling for help just to know if people will come around him. You too need help someday.

Another thing is, please learn to be of help to other people too despite your status. Everything is not monetary help. We all need some help somehow. Do you know that we often make money from helping others. Some people are willing to pay you for your helpful to them.

Continue seeking ways to provide help to people around you for whatever service at a very small price. That is all we people do everyday.

You will never walk alone.
Best regards

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.
God bless you for your full reasoning ... You have said my mind... No sane person can rescue the guy in the position he was before he jumped into the Lagoon! The parents might have been disappointed that he got someone pregnant when he supposed to be assisting his siblings and parents .... RIP to the dead.

Why the bashing of marijuana? Natural marijuana makes people calm ... not violent nor suicidal. He was a smoker ... but acted strangely of late. My guess is he changed his supplier and the new one spiked his weed with Angel Dust ... people always believe they can fly when under the influence of AD. For all we know .... maybe the guy got fed up with the traffic and decided to fly home .

Amos1423:
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.



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?

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

I concur that you made a very valid point partaining to early marriage when there's no reliable and steady means of economic sustainability.
My personal opinion is that folks who are not from "Rich" homes, and do not have sustainable and stable means of lifelihood should hustle into their thirties before settling down as necessity domands, even if they don't make it big time.
Yet another wasted life...
