The source disclosed that a friend had called Ajibola, claiming his results were not good.

This, according to the source, might have contributed to his decision to take his life.
So what are you insinuating? That his friend indirectly killed him? undecided

The guy is just a F...... weakling!

He isn't the only person going through hard times, there're people in worse conditions than him that are still keeping hope alive.

Him wey go school dey commit suicide what about people wey nor get opportunity to even go primary school?

Failing exams or failing in anything doesn't make u a failure or mean u will not make it big in life or be successful.

Students need to take the pressure of failure of themselves. Failure is not always or necessarily negative.

My boss in a logistics firm is a qualified and certified doctor that never practiced for a day.

Why kill yourself over a certificate you may never use..

Unnecessary pressure from parents may be the likely reasons...

Im sure the presure was for him to be a medical dictor and when yhat did not work, they settledhim for dentistry in the name of he will still bear "Dr"...

Now they've lost him
Settled for dentistry? It shows you are a
novice. Dentistry is difficult than medicine especially in preclinical.

Depression is a silent killer. The most funniest thing is that individuals don't open up and tend to smile like everything is okay. Even when they are with family & friends who ought to be there support system.
In this life pray for a sound mind, I actually believe the worst ailment on earth is Mental health challenge
Please if you are down find a good support system and speak out before you become enveloped with negative thought
This is my story right now

I was once in those shoes. Only two things helped me survive OAU during my undergraduate days - - determination and strong OT. Thank God I didn't commit suicide and I didn't drop out.

.. but Ife showed me shege I no go lie.
I spent ten years on a four year course.

You can imagine that. I almost kpaied myself because everyone thought I didn't even go to sch at all that I was only deceiving them. My siblings deserted me, nobody believed me. I couldn't open up to anyone cos I didn't know how to make Dem understand. I had lots of missing scripts that were discovered missing in my final year. The story is too long jare. But I thank God I was able to graduate with an upper

My school certificate is still in my box.

I'm using my online skills to work now.
You have said it all.

Examination has never been the true test of knowledge...!

Especially these days of skilled labor taking precedence over academic qualifications.

When your parents wanted u to become a medical doctor by all means, so that they can boast of having a child towing their path

And when you realize that non of the 10 richest Nigerians,Africans or world citizens is even medical doctors 😆


Even peller is more respected!
Everyone must talk

What do you mean by “respect?”

You obviously don’t know the meaning of respect if you could say what you said.

That's why it's always good to speak positively to your children. There is no condition in life that is worse off...

Amotolongbo had to unwillingly leave Pharmacy to Geography, spending a total of 10 years in that OAU.
Now mama don dey UK dey chop life. If she had taken her life then, will she be able to enjoy now?

If your brain can’t carry dentistry, why not leave for a less difficult course.
Rest on fellow Great Ife!

These Scientists/Engineers are very smartest Dummies they didn't invent a machine which can measure the pressure on the brain.

It's the university's fault he should've been counselled and shifted to another department

Nigerian lecturers do the barest minimum, but they are always eager to sleep with their young female students and harass government about salary increment

I can relate. OAU drained me physically, mentally and emotionally.I carried a particular course over 3 times..never had the boldness to tell my parents.

Suicidal thoughts always coming to my mind..I had to face it prayerfully with determination and hard work .His mercies found and saw me through..how I graduated without an extra still baffles me.I never went back to further my studies after that experience ..even the certificate is just warming the house.. I no use am work.

I'm very free with my children and I made them realise that education is necessary but it's not a do or die affair. If one no follow another one go gree.I don't want them to be blackmailed emotionally as I was 'cos of education. .it 's not everyone that have the strength to handle stress or depression.


May God rest his soul and give his parents and family the strength and understanding to bear the loss.
