The name of the person wasn't mentioned in the article, but for your chickening mindset, you have reached the conclusion of who she must be because of where it happened.

You have been doing this for years on this forum by disrespecting others, the question is for how long would you continue like this?

. There's is nothing like Yoruba Muslim or Yoruba Christian. Yoruba is Yoruba. We are not religion bias like your people. And we are tolerant. We are not like your people that are intolerant.

Statistics has it that before there is one successful suicide, there are some other failed suicide attempts. Unless u solve what is the cause, counselling wont work, such a person might succeed in another attempt.
