Depression is real. Seek help. Lagos telecoms accountant commits suicide, friend blames depression A Lagos accountant, Folake Abiola, has committed suicide at her residence at Osapa London, in the Lekki area of Lagos State. PUNCH Metro gathered that the 45-year-old was at her house on Friday when she allegedly drank what was suspected to be insecticide. She was said to have died shortly after, as her family members, friends and men of the Nigeria Police Force met her lying motionless. A colleague of the deceased, who spoke to our correspondent on condition of anonymity, said Abiola had been suffering from depression for years, adding that the news of her death was shocking. Contrary to claims online that Abiola committed suicide due to loneliness, lack of a husband, among others, the colleague said her associates knew that she had been in romantic relationships, adding that she ended them due to depression. The source said, “She had been suffering from depression for years and her death has nothing to do with loneliness or lack of a husband or sex. Within the last seven years, I know she was in a relationship twice. “She ended those relationships on her own because of depression. She said she did not want to bring someone else into her life when she could not take care of herself. She was going through extreme depression, but people that did not know what she was going through have been posting rubbish online. She was a senior accountant at a telecoms firm and we are colleagues. She took her life herself and was buried that same Friday as she was the only Christian in her family.” The colleague described Abiola as an angel, a conscientious accountant and a lover of Christ, who was liberal in giving, adding that she had been saying she wanted to end it all before she took her life. “In Nigeria, we don’t pay attention to mental health; a lot of people are going through depression and it is not necessary that it has to be caused by anything,” she added. A source said the deceased worked with Globacom Limited, adding that she was on leave when the incident happened. She recently celebrated her 45th birthday. She was not talking to people; she always kept to herself,” the source added. The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said the police visited Abiola’s house and met her lifeless body on the floor. Hundeyin said, “The moment the police in that area were alerted, they arrived at the scene and met the woman lifeless on the floor. A bottle of insecticide was also found by her, apparently, she had ingested that insecticide. “The family members that were there officially wrote to the divisional police officer requesting for the release of the corpse to enable them to bury her in accordance with Islamic rites and the corpse was released to the family on compassionate grounds.” Depression is a leading cause of suicide in Nigeria as experts decry lack of proper awareness of mental health in the country. In December 2021, a Diploma holder, Lekan Odunare, was filmed jumping into the lagoon. His wife, Sofiat Amusa, later claimed he was driven by depression and frustration. - Punch Newspaper. |

Damnfailure:People don't understand the pain in depression, so they don't care. Suicide is easier than the pain you feel in depression. I was born rich, my dad worked with NNPC before he died. I was only 13yrs old when he died. Am 33 now and I have depression for a whille. Am introverted all the time but people think am too proud to hangout with them. Do you know what they mostly say " l'm too proud and pompous" and I will be like " if only you know what am passing through in the night, you will encourage me. Am battling with ending the pain every night but because of my Son "Sean", I will still be strong for him for a while. Imaging how beautiful it will have been without my boy sean 6 Likes 1 Share |

If u are battling depression, it's advicable not to stay alone. Stay with a family member, a friend , a colleague. Keep a healthy social life, attend religious meeting, use the gym. These things will help...at least a little 3 Likes 1 Share |

walkingred: bro, i get you, but its easier said than done most especially when you are facing not just one but a series of problems at the same time. lets not forget that in the bible, there were servants of God who begged or wished for their life to end when things started getting tough for them. Am not saying suicide is okay, but bro, just pray not to be in a situation were problems upon problems keep hunting you everyday. 1 Like |

OloYeOfEgbE:Hmm, it does not follow. See, just as you are strong minded, some people are weak on little issues. First time I knew what depression was ehh, you cannot believe it. It was the first time I actually saw someone that was hiv, someone I knew. Omo I shock!. This was in the late 1990s. I looked at my lifestyle then and concluded no way no way. Ok go and do test, I no get liver! Instead I started reading about "abalaka" and his cure. One other man now late at ogba too that dealt in herbs. I stated thinking, I stopped going out, food I could not eat, my paddies will come pick me up, for where? Instead I will give them money to go have "goodtime". I started going lean. People will call me to ask for loans etc, omo, I will just dash them(had good money then). I will just stay in the darkness, in my room, I wount feel hungry despite not eating for 2 days! Mennn on the 3rd week, I forced myself to go do test. Those days it took 2-3days for result. The wait almost finished me. I almost drove to 3rd mainland. The day I went for the result, maybe from my deposition the elderly man said I should wait he wanted to talk to me before giving me the result envelope! Mogbe! He started by saying hiv is not the end of the world. Father lord in heaven! I almost died! After 5 min talk he gave me the envelope, I opened it and saw negative! Omo, I busted in tears! Baba de console me! See that night my paddies shock when I agree commot, even the way I hail them them no understand why I de "Bleep up moni" that night. Lol, all the people weh collect my money, I call them say na loan I give them ohh, make them make sure them pay me back! Na so I for peme for nothing ontop mental wahala. On the other hand, another person faced with same issue will just walk in and do the test as if nothing nothing. Yeas back na so a successful professional lady for my area jump for 3rd mainland. All because her younger sisters don marry, born, only her still de papa house! She get money brand new car etc. But depression set in. Sorry for boring you with the long writeup. 2 Likes |
