That pastor must be an atheist in disguise including this one https://www.nairaland.com/4702988/us-pastor-commits-suicide-photo

The way some people reason ehn.

The point remains that ever since the so-called C-in-C took oath of office in 2015,the rate of suicide has risen to high heavens cos of poverty, penury, pain and depression. God we dey ur hand

I thought as much.

All these sensational naija bloggers!

I'm sure they must have added the first class thingy to evoke so much sympathy from their readers so as to generate much traffic to their useless blogs.

What are you still waiting for?

Why don't you drink sniper and save us from reading such senseless things from you?

Some fools will blame Buhari for this act

Abdulazeez99:
Chukwuemeka Emmanuel Akachi, a final year student of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) who committed suicide after stating the reason for his action on Facebook has been buried, Igbere Tv reports.

According to reports gathered by Igbere Tv, Akachi, a native of Eha-Alumona in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State, was said to have battled dementia for over two months.

After threatening to take his own life and two lecturers were asked by the university to monitor and counsel him, the English and Literary Studies student, later ended his life by drinking sniper, Igbere Tv reports.

The remains of Mr. Akachi has been laid to rest today. May his soul rest in peace. Amen.

Below is photo from Akachi's burial as obtained by Igbere Tv;

...Nothing tragedic about his action,he's tired of living here and so he chose to end it.Then his suffering continues without end in the world beyond

frbona:
Check out that boy's wall on Facebook and their appalling contents.
He was on a spiral slope, on a highway to self-destruction, yet nobody could spot the signs. Consumed by the same wisdom he sought for.
A genius of a writer he was, driven by his Nihilistic and Atheistic beliefs. From the moment he conceived the idea of taking his own life in his mind, nothing and no one could stop him from bringing it to fulfilment except God, whom he never believed in. Sad end to a man who could have become a legend. My condolences to the family.
From one writer to the other, Respect bro

Sleep with the saints little man. You asked where atheists go to when they die, hope you've found out by now.

You are very correct. If you check his posts from last year, you would see that he was already habouring the suicidal thoughts, but no one got the message clearly. Now my question is this, does he mean, he has no family member as friend on Facebook? Does he mean his classmates or real life friends aren't his friends on Facebook? The handwriting is on the wall for all to see.

I just pity the poor guy. I guess we all have levels to bear pains. Rip bro.

How do u know this?

Mrkumareze:
Na wao. Sniper has killed more human beings than insects .. it's time we 'reread the label of that products if suicide is part of it

True.
I'm even more concerned about the possible long term effects like cancers, leukaemias etc. Who knows what long term exposure of sniper cancer cause?

snipper govt should ban this chemical, something they uses to kill mosquito is now use for sucecid by senseless youth of this country is because it not expensive?

LiveByNight:


Who is your buddy?!!!!!!!!!!!




I want to change you bro

you've lost me
What's this all about?

Too much wizdom is bad and destructive...check all the people that have high iq.. their love for death is overwhelming..never allow your kids become bookworms without socializing...this young lost soul may have never tested the sweetness in between a woman’s legs.... that alone cures depression.


May his soul find what he seeks...so intelligent a man(1st class even in suicide related matters)

Magnifico2000:

Same faculty. He was in English language and literary studies.

He started attempting suicide about 2 years ago,many people knew including his lecturers.
They tried their best helping him.
he had been seeing a therapist for 2 years. It was no surprise to people who knew him well.
Maybe its just the Nigerian system cos the best place for him would have been a rehab centre.

There was a post of him requesting to see a therapist. When I saw that post I knew he was going through a lot. A lot of people that commented on that post felt he was joking. I just wonder what he was going through.

ATHEISM DID NOT KILL CHUKWUEMEKA BY ANTHONY OKOBI


People should be guided. I've come across posts, comments and their replies stating that Akachi's atheism necessitated his death. I'm not advocating atheism, but religious inclination, for me, isn't mandatory (I don't even think atheism is a religion). The walls of choice and freedom are built around life.


Let me say this. Akachi and I became friends under strange circumstances. You may not believe this, but I walked to him the first day I saw him. He dragged his feet out of his department, his face like a pensive fugitive. He was dressed in a somewhat worn-out attire. I didn't know what pushed me to talk to him about it that day, his footwear in particular. He laughed... The rest was history.


Even though he wasn't too open, he talked about a lot of things the first day he bought mishai for me. We talked at length. (He was extravagantly generous). He had discovered I write, too, and said he also liked my sense of humour. He said he was confused about life and love. He told me he didn't know what he wanted in life in general. That shocked me. That he can't love because he can't settle with anybody as a result of the inexplicable confusion. God knows I talked to him. I did. I made recommendations even. While I talked, he gaped at me interestedly, like I was a narrator in a moonlight tale. We sat opposite Eyo-Ita hostel that night. It was around 7. He told me he would think about everything I said and went home. To Town.


Akachi talked about his write-ups. He wanted to cry when he told me a publishing company rejected his chapbook. He told me he suffered for years to write it, to make it better. I told him my rejection stories, too. He cheered up a bit. But from what I saw, he couldn't cope with disappointment or rejection. He was momentarily disillusioned with a beleaguered life threatening to consume him inside out. He seemed helpless, like one predestined to undergo what he was undergoing.


This is a very controversial one. Akachi often behaved strange, like he had had gone nuts. He could ask you to hug him tightly in the middle of a road, or under the keen eyes of trouble-hungry onlookers. He would so loudly roar in laughter over a slight joke witnesses would chill with surprise. One day, I saw him walking to Green House. He was holding his footwear and walking on bare feet!!! I asked him the problem, he said something vague and went his way. You can verify from John Kennedy. We both saw him.
I remember I told him two things: first, he was mad. And I wasn’t joking. When some behaviours became scary, I even suggested he had an evil spirit (the idea that often accompanies a religious leaning) and that he needed spiritual help. From God. He told me He didn't care about God. In fact, I often chose my words to maintain our friendship. If he broke good news to me and I said, "I thank God," he would wince. Sometimes, I even told him to take it like that. But he would tell me he didn’t entertain religious talks for long. He told me about his online therapist. But then, he closed the chapter early and said the therapy wasn't working “effectively on his confusion about life” in particular, but he was fine, then. I spoke to him. When I tried to probe further, he said I should forget it.


I may not know his reasons for atheism despite his Christian background. It was a dreaded topic between us. It was like what he swore never to tell anyone. However, considering the little hints he gave and all, atheism isn't responsible for his suicide. Experiences and internal struggles may have contributed. Yet, I suspect there may be more to his action than meets his eye, but placing atheism as the chief reason is helplessly myopic.


Some may ask why I maintained he didn’t open up or didn’t show much that he needed help. Behaviourally, he presented his problems like casual problems; everyday problems a normal human being would overcome with time. Even when solutions were suggested, he didn’t take them serious, perhaps he thought they wouldn’t be effective or something made him wave them away and didn’t make himself available for a repeat of such talks, like his life was already summed up.


He said he stayed with a relative in Town. I don’t blame her if she didn’t observe because he put up some fronts to mask his problems (laughter, smiles, friendliness, hospitability). And I cry I didn’t unmask them like I would have loved to, like others may have loved to, too.


I must say he didn’t make himself available that much. We had our moments in flashes of opportunities

true. But your presumption is that only depression can lead to mental illness. My argument is that that's not the case. In the bible, the Lord Jesus Christ healed several mentally ill people and, on my instances, the root causes of their problems was demonic possession.


O pari

hopefulLandlord:


Intelligence does not protect you from depression. in fact I'd argue that being extremely intelligent can lead you into deeper thoughts which could make you start asking existential questions which might start making you suicidal. many philosophers faced this

Wow! I guess he may have wandered too far in the unknown worlds through his write-ups. I don't know how real it is,but I felt things when I started writing. The more you try to explore and enquire the secrets of life,especially as a writer, different energies gather u—mostly the bad ones. And if one is not strong,he will be consumed. I was almost consumed by my own stories I was writing. Love,hate, life,religion, death,e.t.c, almost became meaningless to me,or only meaningful by my wish.
