Suicide is the act of intentionally causing one's own death.
The amount of suicide committed by people these days are alarming. Some people commit suicide due to difficulties in relationships, financial hardships, alcoholism, drugs, depression, deteriorating mental health etc.
There is a trending issue now in Nigeria as even people who are "closer to God" have even committed suicide.!
In Nigeria, suicide is a criminal offense! You cannot take your own life.
Perhaps, one might ask, what on earth can make one to commit suicide? Unemployment, homelessness, discrimination, betrayal, lack of what to live for, broken marriages and relationship, disappointments etc, the list are indeed exhaustive.
Suicide is wrong! It is discouraged. No. Please. You cant take your life, no matter the situation.
Mark you, committing suicide is not the solution the problem. Granted, you may not be around to feel the pain of your loss anymore, but the pain you've caused your friends and family will be unbearable and or irreparable.
Are you suffering right now? Are you maltreated? Are you experiencing a serious heartbreak difficult to explain? Are in in a severe hardship that you can hardly feed in a day? Are you nursing a terminal illness? Are you a victim of abuse or discrimination? Are you tired of life and all its worries? Are you always misunderstood and sometimes you feel like ending your life? Dear friend, you can still find joy in this life if you really want to. Just allow God to walk with you. Let him hold your hands. Let him walk with you through life's turbulent journey. (See cover pic) He can change your fortunes. But you must let him!
Be nice to the people you see. Stop hating. Stop maltreating others. You may push them to committing suicide unintentionally. Don't commit when you know you're not in love! Don't lead falsely. Lend a helping hand to a friend. Assist financially if you can, or find help or someone who can. Pray together. Stay positive. Keep hope alive. When there is life, there is hope. Lets join hands and stop suicide in our country now. Enough is enough. See you on the other side of success...alive and well lol. #empowered2day.
