i am shocked too. Church these days is just for show off. They dont love each other as they claim. Infact they prefer the poor to remain poor so they would always have status in the church. Terrible

yes..... many times I thought about it but I always have this strength to always encourage my self. I easily get broken especially when talked to me in a harsh way. and a lot of people have said things to me that could make one decide on giving up. I remember when someone told me I was up to no good because I wasn't tall and he is ashamed of walking with me but guess Wat the same person is now begging for my attention and is even pleading for us to see even if it's just once. humans are really harsh and can destroy someone within a second. I also remember when someone told me I look pale and too dry and tiny. but guess what everyone is asking me what am eating and am looking good and idiot is now trying to form friendship. have been through a lot in d past and even now and I know even in d future it will become worse but have learnt to be strong for my self and my self alone.

Most times when we talk about suicide or discuss people who committed suicide, we often blame them or label them cowards. It is also popular to hear people say those who commit suicide would end up in hell as punishment.

Let us not be quick to judge those who commit suicide.

Depression is real and it can be very overwhelming.
Truth is it hurts when a loved one takes his/her life but we should not be quick to use that single act to judge such people.


I have suffered depressing at several points of my life and i understand how it can be. It only ends in suicide when:

1. You keep to yourself: share the problem with friends.
2. Have close friends and family members that you can share your burdens with.
3. Look at the big picture. Your problem most times is not as bad as you think. Ask yourself 'What is the worst thing that would happen?'
Then ask yourself aint there people in worse situations?
4. Laugh at yourself and call yourself stvpid. yeah we all very stvpid. You broke? Damn! Laugh at yourself. Your bf/gf just broke up with you? Laugh! In serious debt? Laugh!
5. Consult with others on the problem, get different perspectives even if you dont let them know you are the one in the situation

Always had dat suicidal thoughts...my daughter is wat is still keeping me
that moment I'm beginning to wonder the density of pain that could be lurking around those big bright and beautiful smiles yet could still quench a rising volcano... Your daughter actually sent me to tell you this - '' She said she loves mummy - she said she really does, very dearly, to the moon and back; that she understands things you're going through right now but that doesn't warrant the thought of you leaving her behind to suffer; that if you do, she won't ever forgive you. Mummy, better days awaits us. Don't give up on me now; or how do you want me to withstand the pains and depression of you not been around for me when I'm finally a fully grown successful big woman with beautiful kids to call you Grandma - despite all your struggles - Mom, there is a brightly shone light at the end of the tunnel okay ? Mummy I love you forever, sobs till it fades.................................... That was her whispers in my ears. Sorry i didn't remember to ask for her name till her voice fades.

It was back in 2013, i was damn suicidal because nothing ever worked for me, i felt like i was a curse to humanity but an online friend who I've never met talked me out of it.
Things aren't better yet but i'm still hanging on because it's just a phase of life and i believe it'll pass.
brother, i must say i really cherish your strong-will and perseverance. pls continue holding on - you're actually much more better than the person you actually wanna take his life away from; remain the conqueror that you're and never stop conquering impending wicked thoughts from that great mind - things would get better; and you'll be surprised at that great and wonderful personality you turned out to become - believe me the time is near and you'll beat yourself hard for ever harboring the thought of suicide.

People who commit suicide usually suffer from clinical depression, therefore, they don't have the logical mentality to consider the points that you made.

Am considering suicide even now


I was expelled from 400lvl in unilag

the shame everything that I will pass through if I tell people back home is hitting me

I haven't even told them yet

in reality, i'm really sorry for everything you might be going through brother even if my being sorry won't heal the pain. But what makes you think taking a life you even didn't break a sweat to create is going to take the pain away ? Actually it will but not to the extent of how you wanted it - The adventurous thing about life is that it doesn't smile the same way with every of its occupants. But which ever way we want life to react to us depends on us, brother. Our life is made of 3 parts - Keep playing by obeying the rules, Try again by re-applying the rules, then Game over; master the rules; then re-start all over.... Keep the steps going till you achieved the desired result. Tell me, what happened to you trying all over again... You could say i might not understand but i actually know people who have been there before; they are doing much better now because they didn't take their life......... Give it second trial bro; you'd be glad you did in the long run.............

A very short summary the Timelines
Maybe that may keep you alive
After Surviving a broken home, and Becoming disillusioned with Religion
I managed to Gain Admission into University after trying close to 7 times cos of different long reasons
It became worse when the only sensible ppl in my lives left one by one my beautiful, very intelligent and humble smart but modest Sister/older cousin who been living with us after her own mother died when since she was very young, was brutally raped.
she may turn ppl down but respectfully she never used her, beauty intelligence to manipulate ppl get money or disrespected others, from them on she became introverted, became surprisingly loose sexually, ppl would brag that how would a very fine girl be so easy to get etc. Normal fuckboy talks
She then had a baby after failed abortions, ppl gossiped even stupid church members talked, no comfort whatsoever
When I was in School I got news that she died mysteriously, most likely Suicide
B4 this time we had been sent out of the house after the Dad married another woman, and were in a family house that came with its own problems, I was in School a first class student but had always been a depressed person
Long story I dropped out, short she passed on, Mother passed on too. began to really see ppl for who they are
I made mistake after mistakes then the only thing holding me was religion when I began to be confused with that it went down further
Then health problems set in, Financial problems obviously doubled, the Brother is not even worthy of being called a brother, now I got message from the father of her son my nephew that the son needs to be flown to India, I have even forgotten about him and is the reason, I postponed me plans
If the Government has paid me a dime from the pension atleast I would use that, but your lovely Ambode is still the best Governor,

I have postponed the Suicide, and for those that hurt us too, We would do humanity some free service by freeing up Unnecessary Space

hmmm... this is a lot. I am sure many more are in deeper poo... I dont see suicide as a big deal really afterall we can die at any fvcking time without any notice. But when we do, we concede victory to our challenges. If there is something i wont be, i would not be a loser!

Wow, I have read from page one till the third.

It's gotten to a point in my life where I feel the truth is the only safe ground to stand upon, it's better for people to accept you for who you are than live life to impress people, with that being said I believe what will be will be.

Depression is a terrible thing especially when at that point there isn't anyone to open up to or share your feelings with. I have been in that state before, dropping out of school at 300 level and then deep thoughts of how my parents would take it, family members and friends alike, as long as it didn't happen then and it will never again, truth is it only made me stronger cos at the end we all will die some day, it's just the time and means that differs so what's the point of ending something that will in the long run end itself.

The experiences I have seen and faced has built me into the man I am now, going to knock on a neighbor's door to beg for food after having not eaten for 24 plus hours, but I could only get a 3 or 4 day old bread she was suppose to dispose off that day (I begged for it), went to another neighbor who after hearing my ordeal helped me with a plate of egusi soup, on getting back to my room and realizing I hadn't garri I couldn't stand the shame of going back to beg for garri, I had to eat this spoilt bread with the soup, I have squatted and was sleeping on bare floor (the cemented one) for months, abandoned by friends, betrayed and stabbed in the back by the ones I trusted and love, I have seen it all, maybe some day I will have the time to share as much as I can, but as long as I survived those phases I swearugod ain't nothing I can't face, even King Kong got nothing on me. We are yet to get to that place we desire to be but we ain't broke as we use to.


So guys no matter what you go through, stay strong, a time will come you will be glad those things happened cos they would have sharpened your mindset and then you will look back at realize you worried too much over nothing. Cheers

Alright brothers I've read from page 1 to 3 and I've got something to say too

I'm really happy for those that have passed through this stage and survive and for those of us still in this phase of life i pray God be our guidance.

In a nutshell i would like to share my story too.

Firstly I'm an IT student here in Lagos for the period of six months.

It all started July 2018 exactly the day of Portugal vs Uruguay. My mummy sent me 100k to buy a laptop for my younger bro here in Lagos. It happened that i was so broke then that i can't even afford a plate of food. People around me were busy making money out of football by punting (betting). I quickly made a rash decision i could make some money too since i'm good at prediction and i could even do better by staking high on a relatively low odds. In no time i picked my phone log on to the internet and registered on bet9ja. I credited my bet9ja account with the money Mumc sent me and played some games. As devil would have it, i won all games making me more than 100k richer. I got so excited that i kept on punting throughout the whole week without losing a single game. By this time i had made more than 400k.

I decided to make a withdrawal of 190k so i could keep my bro 100k and have the 90k for myself. Within 24hrs the withdrawal was approved i got the money. By this time i had 250k left in my bet9ja account, so i was thinking of how to make it 500k and cease punting. I didn't know the devil was about to reason my matter. I used same strategy as before but the money continue deprecating as i continue to lose terribly. Within 4days i lost the whole 250k but i didn't give up as i deposited 70k from the withdrawal i made before. I lost the whole 70k within few days also yet i still believe i can make it by depositing the remaining 100k. Now back to square one with a burning desire and confidence to win but as devil wants it i lost it all. By this time i was -100k which means i was owing a debt of 100k.

I started making calls to friends and family to borrow money with different lies yet i was still losing it to this devil. I helped my sister changed her Gtb account transfer password so i know it off-hand. With the spirit that i can still make it, i transferred the sum of 120k from her account yet i lost it all same for Grandma's 50k.

By this time I've already learnt my mistake and realised the devil was using me but i need to get back all this money that ain't mine. This, was the only reason i continued to engaged in punting and when i lose i feel so depressed and suicidal.

Just last week i won about 140k which gave me hope that things are getting back to normal but my debt was 350k so i needed to punt more so i could win more and pay off all debts and say bye bye to devil. But in less than a day i lost it all and back to square one.

By this time i had no means of getting money and friends are calling me already for there money. I've to block most numbers and most times switched off my phone to avoid calls or messages. Now i look so wretched and sick from drepession because till now grandma and my sister are not aware that i had transferred all there savings and by October is my sister's freedom from her place of work. So as days goes by so does the intense of my depression and suicidal thoughts.

Yesterday Mumc sent me 45k, 20k for the balance of the laptop and 25k for Grandma to celebrate sallah. I thought i could use the money to punt and win some amount of money so i could buy the laptop but yet again i lost it all.

Right now suicide is the only option i have left as i think I'm possessed or been cursed.

I've the desire to quit but what about the money i'm owing which is about 400k. I've lost everything and now i realised albeit I'm a first class student in academics I'm nothing but a loser in real life.

In the end if I'm lucky to survive this I'll notify this group, if not know i had taken a bold decision. And i hope somebody learnt one or two things from my post. Please be contented with whatever you've and don't be greedy.

Thanks for reading.
