I'm sad. My people voted for Tinubu because of tribalism. Now people are killing themselves in southwest due to hunger. I want to relocate to Anambra. I'm tired of living in Osogbo.
I will send you tp when you're ready; you need to get yourself out amoung them before they influence you with the spirit of suicide grin

South East is the no die people.
We know we will definitely make it and that every little thing gonna be alright.
North East Accounts for highest number and no doubt its true. In fact the figure presented above is far more than what's real.
Now let me tell u...only d number of suicide bombers accounts for more than that figure.
Even the bandits that are killed daily no be suicidal?

Nigerians used to be the happiest people on earth. Nigerians were also known to be the most resilient people on earth. What is happening to us? I pray for our country and our people! Let this all pass!

North East is understood, it is due to boko Haram activities but what is happening in the South West? It is definitely due to hunger cum depression. Sophisticated people indeed grin grin

What's your point?

Your post here is totally pointless with your attempt to link the 11-years suicide rate figures (2010 to 2021) along ethnic lines with reference to the SW despite the FACT that the North East of Nigeria has the highest numbers.

In that same SW of Nigeria, ethnic groups represented from nearly over 300 distinct Nigerian ethnic groups (besides the indigenous Yorubas) live in the SW including your fellow South East people.


Now, for the usual younger SE simpletons spreading hate speech and posting FALSELY here that the great Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, commited suicide, that's an IRRESPONSIBLE claim as I was alive in 1987 when he passed on peacefully and NO such thing ever took place.

You will all reap the consequences of your deliberate spread of massive online disinformation, hate speech and more. Period.

this is well represented. South east has the lowest population 20M while North and Lagos has the highest population. Lagos alone is 19M and 44 for southwest. We have also read news where some dude that took their lives in Lagos bears Southeast , south south and Northern names.

One thing you failed to understand about numbers recorded is that the 24 people recorded cases in your region might be probably be Igbos alone while those people recorded in Southwest might not be only Yorubas due to large presence of other tribes.
