For those who are accusing the person that recorded the video why he did not rescue the deceased, are you guys blind to see that the guy was sitting in a dangerous position. Any attempt to hold him at that moment would have resulted in both the guy and the rescuer falling inside the lagoon. So unfortunate he died that way.
At the same time, I condemn early marriage in its entirety. Imagine blaming the parents for not taking care of a married man, when he is supposed to be taking care of his parents. If you have a means of livelihood, you can marry anything you want, otherwise, why rushing into marriage at such early stage. Such depression would have been avoided if he did not have a family to cater for at the age of 25 years without tangible means of sustenance, considering the perilous times we find ourselves orchestrated by evil old men who call themselves leaders.
May his soul rest in peace.

That is how they stop People from Jumping from Buildings or other dangerous places

Many of them latter go back to say" Thank you" because they didn't realize what they were doing at Time

Do you know Nnamdi Azikiwe was so frustrated that he tried to kill himself when he was just 23 years old

It was a kind hearted Black American that saw him and dragged him off the Railway Tracks and encouraged him to keep on living

Look What Nnamdi Azikiwe later became the Premier of the Eastern Region and the first Ceremonial Nigerian President before he passed away at almost 94 years

viscosity...there is a force called viscosity...its the impact on water..there is a force ontop of the water...your weight needs to break it if u must survive

Viscosity is rate of flow of liquid.
Engine oil, honey, petrol will flow at different rate because of different viscosity.
It's not how you explained it

The wife said he did drugs, was married with a kid and probably low resources to maintain the family, lived in a country full of frustration...so many things to make him depressed. The parents may not even be any better and probably didn't support his lifestyle which may explain why they didn't contact the wife. May his soul RIP and I hope his wife gets the help she needs

Who hasn't been in debt before? Even Nigeria dey owe money. They frustrated the young chap jawe.

Really..then thunda will surely faya that black American.

So sad!

So what happened to his beautiful Pam Slippers he was wearing?

Kennyideal:
Nobody gets close to jumpers....... Any step taken by d guy with the camera, would hasten his jump...........

He couldn't have done any thing to save him anyways, cos the jumper's mind was already made up...

Perhaps, you've seen this movie, "Man on the ledge"....

It can only take a true genuine psychologist to talk the man out of jumping...... Reminding him of how he can still start all over, and that killing himself will only transfer the agony to his family.... And not ending it....


But for an average Nigerian, who must have come across the jumper by chance has no knowledge of what to do! He did the best thing to him, video!....

chukel:
he did not live in a country full of frustration. Let's stop this nonsense. That guy frustrated himself. What sort of uselsess mentality is the wife harboring, claiming that his parents refused to cater for a married man? He carried responsibility too much for him. Why would he get married when he had no sustainable means of livelihood. His parents catered for him, he got married, had a child and still expected them to continue catering for the 3 of them. What sort of wickedness, selfishness and irresponsibility is that. The youths of this day find suicide as an easy way out of the frustration they plunged themselves into.

LucemFerre:
Why are people saying "suicide is not an option?" Do y'all know what "option" even mean ?
It is a fvcking option and a way out too.

Lexusgs430:
He was seeking parental care at 25 ?

I left home at 19 !!! if you fall into depression, fight your way out !!!!

Wahala no dey ever finish, what you cannot help, no point thinking about it .........

Trust me our minds have different matrix & thresholds to withstand pressure and stress before insanity sets in.
What you can handle with ease without going crazy, your twin with a similar DNA may not be able to tolerate it.
Some people will live a fulfilled and stress free life even when neck deep in unplayable debt, others will become defeatist and suicidal at the thought of owing debt they have assets to pay off.
Human beings are complex creatures.

Na so one mugu for poultry that year say him leave aws at 11 years old. I hail una.

Suicide is never an option.

I worked where many lives were saved that way a Train Station

The idea is to keep the Person talking until he is Persuaded to Stop or until he is physically subdued without harming anyone

Many come back later to say Thank you, they didn't know what they were doing

Viltron:
your question is dumb

Psoul:


Rescuing someone from train station may be easier than this particular guiy's situation.
The person attempting suicide at train station/rail line may have time to listen cos the train may still not be in sight. So he will have a long time to wait. He may even be forcefully rescued. Inherent danger is minimal.

The guy in this thread was already sitting at the edge of the bridge. U may not have enough time to gather people who will be willing to grab him in order to foil the crime. Even trying to rescue him may pose danger to those trying to rescue him. He may drag them into the lagoon with himself.

Yes, there is possibility of rescuing him if someone was able to melt his heart by the word such a person says to him/ That will make him have a change of mind.

thebosstrevor1:
Hmm...someone who would have saved his life was busy taking video of him so that he can post on social media and trend.

Let's think about this, marijuana is one of the causes of depression in many smokers , it reduces dopamine level in their brain and make them numb to emotions, the pain excessive marijuana intake causes to your sense of reality can literally make a smoker commit sucide. It is always cool when people think you smoke marijuana but the damage it does to your brain is sometimes irreversible.

The sad part is that the man has left this world and his wife will have to continue the journey of taking care of their daughter by any means possible.
