I thought Buhari had banned sniper, where did the man get it from.

This is disheartening
Once you are depressed and having suicidal thoughts please seek help and talk to others about it.
Whatever it is you are going through "suicide isn't the solution". You will only cause sorrow for your loved ones
No matter how grievous you offence is talking about it to the right set of people will relieve you. If you are too ashamed to tell the people around you or you can't trust them with your information. Then look for someone else that can be trusted. We have religious leaders, professional psychologist or counsellors or you can choose to talk to an anonymous person online.
Don't die in silence, hence adding sorrow upon sorrow.
Let us watch out for people around us as well especially introverts. They wouldn't tell you their problems except you ask or they can trust you with such information.

Does Buhari or Nafdac know the company that manufactures Sniper? Honest question.

Nawa

The country is as good as fvcked. Really a terrible zone.

85% percent of Nigerians are outrighly suffering, 10% are suffering and smiling, while the remaining 5% are doing the suffering and smiling without even knowing it. Travel and see if in doubt.

Tell me how boogharia would agree to pay the agreed minimum wage or even unturn deaf ears to the fact that higher percentage of Nigerians are going through hell, after seeing this pot bellied slowpoke below putting on khaki...looking well fed with his gully water filled belly.

Many people are in depression in Nigeria. God will save us. Suicide is not the way out of trouble. Jesus is the way.

Sorry man. Nigeria failed you.

Wow

So someone is still selling Sniper?

Well, I don't blame the seller, I blame the drinker. Did he think he was drinking Origin?

Sha, R.I.P Man

Second reported suicide case this week..

God airpus ooo

God please have mercy on Nigeria

RIP

The rate of suicide is so on the increase.. Everyone keeps hating and rebukes suicides but no one knows who's next... Depression is fucken real, succumbing to depression is worst than killing ur self.

Nice point, but the problem now is how will this message get to the 98% of the illiterate Nigerian who does not know how to read and write?
