I know many Nigerians are very fustrated, even judging from their comment on blogs, you can always sense a lot of anger and bitterness. Its not your fault you are born black or you are a Nigerian where we are used to the hard life. Suicide/depression is not a white man's disease, everyone suffers from depression whether black or white. Sometimes, you can just see someone that slumps on the road and dies, you never know part of the reason is due to depression but some people will call it witchcraft.
When you come across someone that is contemplating suicide, the reason why they vent out is, although part of them want to die, they also want to live too. They just want the pain to end but its so sad when you see post of someone contemplating suicide especially on Nigeria forums, you will be seeing comments like ''what is stopping you? Go drink sniper, go hug transformer, no one cares'' and all sort of rude and inhuman comments making a jeorpardy of that person's situation. If you have never been there, you will never understand and yes depression is real and happens to anyone. If you read about mental illnesses, you will find hosts of others.
You should try to help by talking nice to them, try feeling their pain at least, if you have nothing nice to say then STFU. They need help and that's why they vent. Making all those rude comment only worsen their situation. At times i just feel if some people have no conscience at all or they just enjoy being bullies and that's part of the reason why people kill themselves because of these bullies.
