One of his friends on facebook confirmed his demise. Facebook doesn't put dates to friendships. That friendship could as well as been made on the 25th. |

sleekymag:See Nigerians, do you know what it means to get depressed to the point of being suicidal? You loose hope in everything, read his story, he lost every thing and felt God was far away, he didnt get there in one day. Am sure at one point he must have believed in God but the way we only preach here and dont show love he may have lost his faith. In US, every small church has a soup kitchen so at least pple will have places to get a meal, not so here even with all our churches |

debrief08: You're right. Our churches need to show more charity. |

I suspect every Nigerian out there knows what it means to be depressed. Only many are too conceited to admit weakness, or even realize that it is part of what makes them humans. |

sleekymag: No. [b]He sent friend requests that were just accepted. |

debrief08: Ijogz K: velo10: Well, it could go either ways, he could actually have committed suicide, or he could still be alive. You are right with d friendship thing not having dates though, those friends he added seemed to be around that day 25th or just before. Depression is something that affects people, but one needs to turn to God when all else fails. It is well! |

Sounds like a publicity stunt imo. Plenty of such cases on the web, and as usual, get hyped by "interested observers" who are actually propagandists just trolling all over the place for whatever reason. Like isaid, the book i'm currently reading has a plotline where a man fakes suicide to avoid his creditors (who he ripped off btw). If my comment annoys you, feel free to join your friend who is the subject of the thread. |

Somebody is struggling with life and rather than give him clear guidance people were telling him he needs deliverance. Why won't he kill himself. People need to understand that all they need to succeed is them and all they also need to fail is in them. May his soul rest in peace |
Re: Man Threatened To Kill Self On Christmas Day. Is He Still Alive? by tpia5: 5:47pm On Dec 29, 2011 |
Does anyone have any evidence he actually died? ![]() If so, then the thread title should be "Man follows through on prior threat to kill himself". And if people were aware he threatened to kill himself, what efforts did they make to reach out to him and why are they suddenly opening threads saying he said he would kill himself. Lame storyline imo. Not well thought out at all. Anyway, will check the link later. Cant open it now. All the goats wey dey follow my posts everywhere, more grass to your snouts. |

believe me, the issue of attempted suicide is a serious issue among the nigerian youth today. most especially among millions and millions of the graduates that are roaming the streets jobless. don't ever think because its not your case it should be the same for everyone. what our prayers should be is that "may we never find ourselves in situations that will make us attempt suicide" you may find it difficult to believe that one or more of your friends, family member or close relative have attempted suicide atleast more than once. you will never know because they will never let it out. (its like the stigma attached to AIDS victims) i have been with a couple of friends that i have really admire and wish i could have their lives, not until they open up on the kind of things they have attempted. i as a person have attempted suicide twice some years past before i gained admission into the university, but know body outside will ever know because its a strictly family issue, and no one will ever let it out. the courage to attempt suicide comes at the peak of depression that often last for many months and maybe a few years without any serious intervention. but for me today i have overcome, for others that are in the struggle, you are the key to your healing and revival, learn to resist depression at all times, never keep it to yourself for too long because it will destroy you eventually let it out to people that can help you get through it because there is so much in life to enjoy and may God be with you. Amen |

Re: Man Threatened To Kill Self On Christmas Day. Is He Still Alive? by soloqy: 4:27am On Dec 30, 2011 |
Ok, he wanted to commit suicide but first publicized it on Facebook? People who dont have money to spare for internet access(as he even has funds to use the internet), abound everywhere so what 'tremendous hunger' drove him to this? Please, I sympathize with people who are killed by evil people like Boko Haram and people who die of deseases they didnt create. I have no room to sympathize with this(Thats if this is not a stunt as I seriously suspect). |

I did confirm his Demise from a mutual friend with initial E.A. In her word :"Dat xmas day,he send me a bd message Nd ask me wht type of sleep drugs wil he take I told him i dnt knw So i ask him wht is wrong with him He said his head So i told him 2 buy panador extra After taking it he should rest 2 words in d evening he started send bad messages So i cal him,bt he didnt pick my cal So i send him text message 2 encourage him No reply I cal nd cal,nobody is pick my cal Til 26 I waz stil calin nobody pick So around 6 in d evening i waz veing bad feeling I cal Den his sister pick nd told me he is dead I shouted So my dear dat is it Even d guy dat stay with him travel 2 d village" According to her, he hanged himself. Well, i think with this affirmation from a mutual friend to the man, the speculation can be put to a rest. |

Re: Man Threatened To Kill Self On Christmas Day. Is He Still Alive? by Ivynwa(f): 9:29am On Dec 30, 2011 |
His facebook page has comments that showed that he did this, one of his friends that he sent last greetings to by name Nehi made a comment there asking why nobody told him about that post, that he would have called on his family to come and take him to be with them. I suspect he was spending Xmas alone and got enveloped with loneliness coupled with his depressed state of mind. I noticed that he allowed a negative lie into his lines of thoughts----one should not confess negatively like believing and confessing the way he did that "he fails in everything he sets his hands on". It is a very negative thinking and when you allow such thoughts, it keeps proving itself in your life. I have met somebody that confesses that too and even went visiting a prayer house that told him that his mother wants to kill him. I did my best to dissuade that person from living in negativity. This is sad sad saddening, we don't know him yet one can't help feeling sad the way this played out. Let us be positive minded and keep sharing love to people we meet in the struggle to survive. |

Re: Man Threatened To Kill Self On Christmas Day. Is He Still Alive? by Nobody: 10:22am On Dec 30, 2011 |
I wonder why people thought someone like the guy cannot do it. Did you read dailies on boxing day out a middle aged man that hanged himself on a tree early morning around marina, lagos island or about a man in igando area last month that wrote a letter to police, his pastor and his landlord and send his pregnant wife to deliver the message but before her arrival took his own life and giving the reasons in the letter? People are frustrated in nigeria. Many people you see around are a very frustrated but on that note doent mean one should kill him/herself |
Re: Man Threatened To Kill Self On Christmas Day. Is He Still Alive? by ifeci: 2:40pm On Dec 30, 2011 |
People are really turnining into cowards in Nigeria. I read through this guys reasons & it doesn't make sense. Challenges are what builds great men, check the stories of most succesful pple& u will see that at various points in their lives, they were in a terrible situation. God's ways are not the ways of man, He has his way of building us to be strong, take for example the story of the isrealites, who says that God could not have cleared away their enemies and make their transition smooth to Cannan? but he was building them to fight battles and be strong in the face of their enemies. The reason we pass through difficulties is so that we will be strong in the face of challenges&handle them with experience. We shouldn't allow situations define us rather we should define situations and determine the impact they have on us. If you think your situation is worse,go out there and hear other peoples worst stories and i bet you, you will thank God for your own Situation. The man with no shoes complained until he met the man with no feet. |

Please help me ask those two scammers who were following me around on the thread. Couple of goats- who did they think they were fooling. Awon hackers oshi. They were probably among the people who engineered the whole thing. God punish devil. |
