This is so pathetic and cowardly!
All those Calculus and other advanced Maths has never put food on my table. Rather its just by hustling and the work of my hands.

So Sad!

@16, she's still a child and has nothing to do with tertiary institution in advanced Nation. Why won't she commit suicide when a child is given what she's not mentally prepared for?.

Most parents are hard on their children because of result ish.

A course of mine found out she would be graduating with a 2:2, this girl almost killed herself.

She said her parents would kill her if they find out. I dunno if they've killed her already. Someone like that can commit suicide.
what do you mean by "if they've killed her already" grin grin

Any school that glorifies Chemistry 101 as a dreaded course should be ashamed. There is need for urgent re-orientation or outright sack of some morons camouflaging as 'lecturers' in Nigeria. If you are not competent enough to impart knowledge of basic Chemistry on your students then you and your employers are the failures.

Mercy Olamide Afolaranmi, a student of Microbiology at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, has committed suicide.
According to the school’s Chief Security Officer, Babatunde Oyatokun, Miss Afolaranmi, poisoned herself. Students and a neighbour close to the deceased also said she killed herself due to poor grade.

“We got a call that one of our students took poison,” Mr. Oyatokun said. “We got to hospital to realise that she mixed rat poison. She gave us the contact of her parents but before they arrived, she already gave up due to the effect of the poison she took.”

A neighbour, Bimpe Oni, in an interview with PREMIUM TIMES, said Miss Afolaranmi, who lived off-campus at Sabo area of Ile-Ife, died on Thursday, after she took “rat poison mixed with battery extract.”

Mrs. Oni said the late student committed suicide because of “emotional pressure.” A student, Aisha, who was Miss Afolaranmi’s colleague in the Faculty of Science, said the deceased had ‘E’ in CHM101 (Chemistry for first year students), a reportedly dreaded course for year one students in the science and technology related faculties.

“Mercy often isolated herself in class and looked depressed,” said Aisha. “She told me she had ‘E’ in CHM101 and has been going around unhappy before this incident.” Another student in the Faculty of Student, Opeyemi, said “she took poison because of result.”

The school’s Dean of Students’ Affairs, Isiaka Aransi, also confirmed the news. “Although the reason and cause of her death is yet to be known, the division is aware of the death of Mercy,” she said.

Before her death, on October 10, she posted on Facebook that: “Above all other things, I just wanna see God, see what He looks like, speak with Him face to face. I don’t wanna miss heaven. LORD HELP ME.”

Suicide has become very common these days especially among this generation of young people. I feel that one of the reasons is the fact that some people have been spreading the gospel of "there is no God" which has made so many people hopeless. Because if you believe in God,you'd keep hope alive. This is my opinion.

My family friend graduated from secondary school when she was 16, her mum was rushing her to finish and get into the university. She did some international examinations and passed but when she arrive America, she was placed on a program in the university 'till she was 18 before she could start her course properly. Even while on that program, she still exhibited the psychological state of a 16years old 'cause there's a limit to what they could handle.

sometimes parent put alot of pressure on their ward without considerating their ability to cope with the new way of life in the university .

Children should be evaluated before going to the university because some lectures no get joy.


Factor to consider:
1 the age factor
2. pressure
3. Peer pressure
4. Depression
5. The kind of friends
6. Communication
7. A society that value grades rather than knowledge and skills
8. Village people

It's sad that we can't see ppl that are depressed and offer help. Lots of ppl walk around unhappy and depressed but they wear a smile. The result was just her breaking point. Wish she had somebody she could speak to like I do, I feel depressed sometimes but I have this friend that I'm able to talk to and it helps jus being able to vent and offload

She sure had outstanding personal issues that were never addressed. No one commits suicide at the early stage of depression. Hers was deep. RIP
