R.I.P o lord he's gone, but sucide is not an option though it aint easy i have always hope for better day

Damnnn niggar
No pity and if you quote me... me and you go get problem

A friend of mine in Ghana told me before that election that if tinubu should get up to 100 thousand votes knowing fully well that he brought upon Nigeria Buhari and Apc and knowing fully well he was part of Buhari's administration then it means we Nigerians are wicked, tribalistic, fake and the worse part of it is that it will reveal that we Nigerians don’t really hate bad government and the way our politicians are treating us we are just pretending to be angry because it is not our tribesman that is in power

Look at what is going on here on nairaland..if you criticise tinubu his blind supporters will quote you and insult you...
This tribalism how long will it end. It is ruining us already.

Asswipemod:
Subsidy is gone for ever, oga dammmm niggar isoright. Stop whining here and move on.

If you are a Nigerian you didn't support the subsidy removal of Jonathan and you supported the 2012 protest but you now support the removal of tinubu subsidy removal may it not be well with you and your children
If you are a Nigerian and you criticise Jonathan and Buhari now you no longer want to criticise tinubu may it not be well with you and your children

Life, people are going through alot this time. May God help us all.

SE and SS now...

Many people in Nja are depressed, paranoid, have anxiety disorders etc but they don't really know .

R.I.P to him

What a country. RIP to the dead.
One of the lessons Igbos have to learn in a hard way.
Teaching them lesson 101.

Nigerians! Brace up, the waves are about to strike harder.

Eyah but having 6 children as a drycleaner is just pressure overload when you consider school fees , feeding, clothing etc . Rip

When depressed about the turn of things in Nigeria it is best to do the following:
1. Be thankful for life.
2. Be thankful for health.
3. Be thankful for family, friends, neighbours and co-workers.
4. Reach out to co-travellers in destiny such as Classmates, Age-grade and friends with whom you share mutual commitments.
5. Keep working at the occupation you have at hand no matter how little it seems.
6. Look around you and you should soon see that you are not in the situation alone. Others are also passing through similar situations.
7. Ensure your cloth fits your size per time. Let family and folks around know what you are capable of.
8. Finally, look to God for help!
9. You should be okay.

We shall overcome

Tinubus government is inadvertently inviting the military to take over.

Scary and worrying times ahead.

No politics please. We all no certain decisions might have caused the current hardship but please lets respect the dead

Let them all die

The way things are going now am afraid. God help us.

Damnnn niggar

like say una no feel the heat for being, smiling and suffering
Are you also buying fuel at110 naira or gas at 200naira? Hypocrite.

It takes extreme braveness to kill oneself.
If you think I am lying, try it and see.

Una never start yet....ebin pawa oo

RIP to him.
No surprise though. Went to order beans & corn and was told it’s now 1800 from the 600 I just paid for it 30 days ago.
That’s sad & depressing. People are really really suffering, even more since Tinubu.
It’s getting more & more scary every day.

One thing many Nigerians don't know is if they elect a bad leader, na people from his region dey suffer am pass.


Just look at!

Suicide doesn't solve anything

Truly the economy is not smiling no thanks to poor government policy that has swore to tax common man to bone marrow but suicide has never solve any problem

He regreted voting for Amoda ogunlere... The worst is there is no other way out of the hardship so, he kicked the bucket.

It's really crazy to lose part of the body that someone uses to work and make money. I wouldn't say he was a weak man. R I P to the decease.
