Nigerian man Commits Suicide Because He Was Broke.

UNN and suicide news... May this one not be true.

As for the link, no click.

Honestly, this "broke" of a thing needs to be looked into. Yiu can't be in your 20's and everything around you doesn't look favourable and people will want to call you names just to shame you. This country is messed up and its no longer a joke. If young ones are not dying because they are trying to meet ends means, then they are dying because they are "broke". Messed up.


No comment; next question.

Sad. He could have lent a skill like barbing or bought an a machine asset like clipper.

Definitely a girl shaming him for being broke or wouldn't accept his advances

OP why didn't you post the short article in entirety See the rest of the article below

He's now free as a bird. Freedom comes at a cost and he paid his.

It is sad. Are people so bad that they would rather have you kill yourself than ask for help? I believe that can be very possible. Also I don't know what people gain from shaming someone who has one little problem or the other so bad, but they do it.

As bad as people can be, I really wish he hadn't killed himself. People carry themselves in deceptive ways, as if they are so smart and they don't have problems but they do. Sometimes living means dragging yourself through each day and fighting the urge to commit suicide. But you hold on. He should have tried to hold on, done anything to hold on and cared less about what people think, because even when one is holding on for dear life, people tend not to have compassion. What matters sometimes when it's worst is not being the one to take your own life. Even if death dey come, let something else other than you cause it.

It's just sad.

Very good for him, I will advise anybody who wants to kill his or her self should carry on, the population of the world is outrageous, we need stuffs like this to control it so far no one is convicted for the course.
Rest in Valhalla.

Who should look into it?? Government or the masses??
The thing is that most people who commit suicide for such riddance are considered olodos. “You can't be in your 20's and everything around you doesn't look favourable”, good point.
Why should a guy in his 20's commit suicide for such course if no be demon possessed mind?
See big brother suicide is demonic, it is demonic once you let the demons take over your mindset you're gone. I'm telling you because I wanted to fall a victim.
There were voices speaking to me, giving me 1000 reasons why I should commit suicide, like voices like say you dey conversate with people.
Forget, weda you believe it or not suicide is demonic.

If truly suicide is "demonic", then demons are also behind every type of death. I'm not arguing with you, no I'm not, but wht I'm saying is 'men should stop being shamed for being broke'. It can be really traumatising to some people or at least there should be a better system where young ones can tap from, earn a living from.You can't be in your 20's and your future just looks bleak. It's a problem.

Hunger can make the mind think irrational thoughts.


Av been in that position before. One week, my account was kissing 2million, the other week i was completely penniless. I was in 300 level back then. I had family members but didn't even call or tell any of them. The person I could confide in was my ex girlfriend.


Hunger can make you feel like the entire world is against you and that your god has abadoned u.


So I understand very well. But you have to be strong. It better to steal than to unalive oneself

Anyone who hasn't hit rock bottom (I mean real rock bottom) wouldn't know how the young man felt before he killed himself.

I remember some years ago, contract wasn't forthcoming and I was dead broke while being responsible for my family. Help was coming from no where. I couldn't even afford #50 to charge my cell phone.


I was from a good home but that period there was no vices I didn't think of to make money.

Looking back, Goddd. I really suffered in life.

Really thanking God for life right now 🙏

E no go pass sporty bet,when finish that boy

lol

Very selfish thing.

He couldn't even think about his parents and what they have through to see him to this level

Sorry, life can get very frustrating when broke. But you can always continue with life, since things get better in the future if you are patient enough.

Nigeria isn't a country where you can just pluck money from the tree and not be broke. Most people are broke too and living their lives.

Life is hard and the world is a terrible place, it's a wonder more people don't commit suicide.

Rot in hell
