I will kill myself on Wednesday if am not able to sort this out. I'm tired of this life even though people around believe all is well with me.

I am a 23 year old undergraduate of University of Ilorin. I am a spill over student due for graduation last year. I had 2 courses for first semester and 5 courses for second semester, including project. I really tried my best this year, so that I can graduate. The trauma, depression, studying with my juniors, O God, after stressing myself reading day and night, preparing hard and settling project issues, just to discover that I failed 2 courses in second semester. I will now splash, not again.

I am pressing some buttons IF the courses can be waved. I discovered that I failed the two on friday after checking my results at the level adviser's office.

How will I inform my parents? I don't have a choice than to just end this if nothing can be done before Wednesday evening.

The pressure is just too much. I am the first born of my parent. They are expecting the good news not the splash news again, not after supporting me for a year.

it takes more than courage 4 a man to commit suicide. Reason along hw ur parent would feel when u splash guy not the end of the world not hw fr but hw well.

Some people were expelled in final year and they started all over and finally graduated. If I tell you what am going through now you will know that you are in heaven. Yet I am not contemplating even crime to get out of my situation not to talk of suicide. Infact come to Lagos and jump off thirdmainland. Your foolishness knows no bound. C'mon study and pass the two courses. You can do it. Tell your parents. Heaven will not fall.

Op, so you think your case is worse, wait till u cross the road then you would realise how stupid you are to have commited sucide. A friend of mine back in school gained admission at the age of 28 years, caught cheating during final exams and was suspended for a year, spilled twice and finally graduated at the age of 34 yrs. He was lectured by his course mates who were retained by the department, took lectures with his very juniors. Then i felt sorry for him, but now i dont becos my guy now works with a ocean going oil exploration company as a geo-technician in scandanavia. He earns over 5 million naira a month. Op, if u like go ahead with your plan, u will only be one of the foolish who have chickened out or brace up and see life beyond the school wall. Life is for the brave and not the chicken hearted. Choose between the two.

Buhari contested for the Presidency thrice and failed. At the 4th attempt,he became the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Pls give yourself another one year more to write the carry overs. Don't run away from problems so minor. Carry overs are meant for students. Failing is no big deal,what matter is how we overcome it. For the sake of God and your parents- don't end it because of few carry overs.
Personally, I ones had carry overs in my undergraduate and postgraduate programmes (I overcame it all,I did not even think of ending it). Here I am today, a Doctoral candidate.
Learn from others. Don't be selfish.

are you in the right place, do you love what you studying?, if there were no educational system, would you be at least able to offer direction, knowledge and do things intuitively in relation to what you study.

Dont be a born entrepreneur in an engineering department, you go carry over tire.

If we're yhu are is affecting you psychological, it time to leave, cause yhur certificate to an extent would define you, if yhu struggling with it now, what do you think would happen tomorrow, yhu already considering suicide, then tomorrow what?.

Sir, I will be spilling for the second time. Funny enough, it is not as if I wasn't the brilliant, especially during my 200L and 100L days. It all started second semester 200L.

...even if you're spilling for the 11th times,it's not worth it....

@ OP, how I wish you can see how bright ur future is! You are a great Man full of vision, the world is waiting for ur impact, Rest and smile, failure is nt the end of life, it'l jst add to ur future testimony, Cheers!!!

Nonsense! I wasn't cleared for nysc until 2014 and got into OAU in 2006 for a 4-year course. My mates had forgotten about nysc since February 2012 and I'm more brilliant than nearly 2/3 of them (no exaggeration). Suicide is only an option for cowards.

Lol....Wednesday is too far jare.

First of all why WEDNESDAY, second you will be seen as a loser not a fighter because fighters never quit. I think if you are concerned about your parents then you should tell them your plans for WEDNESDAY and see their reaction. I dont think if they hear of that they will be concerned about the money they will assist you with for an extra year, infact i think extended family, friends, associates and even some enemies will be happy to assist you if that will keep you alive. And by the way try to study harder for your next exams and you will make it, many have passed through that same road.

You don't understand what I'm facing. I almost got myself a mouth watering job last year if not for the set back. I don't think I can cope again. What is keeping alive now is a promise made by someone that he can help in waving the course.

...thank God you wrote "almost got myself a mouth watering job". Look, you can always get a better job.

My Alma mater. Please don't commit suicide, its not the end. You know so well that they won't wave more than 1 course and you have extra. Why not withdraw and go to another school? Because at the end of the day, even when you clear all the courses and graduate, your class of degree will be nothing to write home about and it will be useless because you won't get a job with it. So sorry dear, COs are depressing factors. May God see you through dear.

I agree with you that it is a very frustrating situation but I congratulate you because you spoke out. Actually the solution is not as far away as you thought. If you talk to someone who has suffered the same kind of disappointment in academic life and eventually turned out well it will be of help. If you don't mind, can you state your phone number? Some people like that may want share their story with you and advise you. All will be well.

Bro........I know how you feel......but remember that; Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.{Confucius}...........Please you have a greater height to attain.......The Lord is there for you bro do not kill yourself....



stand still................for the future is glorious

My friend i had an extra year twice in my time and i am not dead,read your books,pray and clear your courses,life goes on jare!!!

You had mere Spill overs and Contemplating Suicide

My brother most times our bad condition, problms, and worries do not allow us to see that there is still Hope for us, as far as we have d livin God. That is one of satan strategy. Many people have had d worst experience than d one ur havin now, but they r now livin more successful than those u think dat have d best result or Grade if i may say. Certificate cant determine ur destiny. God and u r to determine ur destiny. If we certificate is made to determine man's destiny, Dangote wouldnt hav be one of d richest man in african. Bill gate woulnt have be one time world richest and Eintein wouldnt have be d most intelligent scientist d world have ever known. Alwas remember that success most times does not depend on ur certificate or effort, but by God's favour and appointed time. U beter sit up now and wipe out ur tears and face ur problm squarely, there is still time ok. Just embrace Jesus and lay all ur problms to Him, that is y He is alwas there for u. It is well with and may God see u throu. Pls try also to meet wit those lectyres u had their course carry over, u can tell, they can be of help to u.

Please kill ursef.... mumu. Are you d first to spill twice??... or will it be stated in your certificate dat u spilled twice. ..?? Av seen many student go 3years nd dat dint end their life.... many of dem are doing fine.

Op u dey mad,come make i give u mooring rope mk u use 4 hangmans noose.

Undergraduate look unto to God read ur courses

Bros...i have been in your shoes so i know that pain in your heart especially when you know you are not a dullard.There is humliation,shame and dissapointment.Even breathing feels heavy and difficult.I am a first born who spilled and then splashed my first semester and graduated with a third class and the future looked bleak.I will tell you a secret...if u dont give up and push through, opportunities will arise again and you will be so ready you will shine.In all modesty i think i probably earn more than 90 percents of people who i was suppose to graduate with.If it does not kill you it will make you stronger and humble.Just get rid of that deppression.

You turn it to melon and cook egusi soup with it.

Hehehehe my own version is "when life gives you lemons you turn it to lemonade start a juice business and make money outta life "

My brother, life is precious. Nothing is worth killing yourself for. Every successful person u see today has had one serious problem or the other before. I have a friend who was kicked out of medical school in the university, he transferred to Geology to go start from 200 level again and he had a spill in his final year. His family rained insults on him because they had spent so much to take care of him. This frustrated him so much that he had to sit and exam his education very well. At a time, he wanted to quit and just wonder away but decided to go write his spill after friends encouraged him. Today, he is working in a drilling company. The guy na big boy now.

Note: He was from a poor family struggling to send him to school.

Bro good day. killing yourself is not the remedy to ur problems. Most of us have passed through this before Buh we came out stronger. What I would advice is try all ur best and put God first in all you do. Kindly send me your contact or bbm pin so I will counsel you for free. Remember problems will make you stronger.

Let me quickly share my story with you....the best sermon is one's personal experience. I left secondary school in 2004. By 2005, I got admitted to a state university in Ekiti State. After two years of studies in Ekiti state, I discovered the program i was doing was not accredited. To make the story worse, nearly all lecturers in the faculty of science passionately disliked the program. It was called SLT then. Consequently, they mark down our papers. Not only that, they call us all sorts of names like NFA, unfortunate students and the likes anyone who attended the university and did that course can attest to what i am saying. My dad happens to be a staff of the University, so i told him about the poor grades, everything i heard about the program, and the intensity of the lecturer's hatred for the program all to no avail. All he said was whenever students dont want to read, they come up with different flimsy excuses so i kept mute.

After five years of my life in that school, my dad was made one of the board members of the faculty so he saw the whole results since the inception of the program, so may spill over students from year 2000, and the fact that the program has not been accredited. I was in 500 level(final year) then with alot of carry overs.....carry over is not a big deal in that program....people had 15. My father saw how bad it was and he immediately invited me to his office for a meeting. He blamed himself for not listening to me when i complained 3 years earlier. He said he would want me to transfer. That was how i took my transcript and returned to 200level in another school entirely when i ought to graduate with maybe a third class or a pass.

I wasted 5years of my life in Ekiti. I was so sad and depressed. Merely sitting with my younger brother's age mate turned my stomach in anger. Infact when i got to the new school, my own younger brother who i happened to be ahead of by 3years became my senior in the new school. The retrogression started affecting my grades such that attending classes became a burden. Along the line, i sat myself down and reasoned deeply about how my life has been. I was the best student in secondary school. I was only unfortunate to have attended the wrong program in Ekiti. Though i wasn't given any certificate after five years but i learnt life lessons those years. I changed my attitude towards my new classmates and humbled myself to a fault. Above all, i began to see my new school as the golden opportunity to start afresh again. My declining grades all of a sudden began to soar so high such that i had 5.0/5.0 in one of the semesters and i ended finishing top 5 out of the class of about 300.

Today, I am currently in Canada on a graduate program fully funded by the university. Up till now, I am yet to spend a dime of myself in Canada. Because the scholarship covered everything. Guess what?, I even got two scholarships from two different university and just last week, I got another funding again. Yes just last week! What if i had committed suicide then? . Would i have seen the goodness almighty God has packaged in my future today? What i am saying in essence is you can fall as much as possible but whenever you fall and refuse to rise again is when you failed. The righteous shall fall seven times.....but they shall rise again.

Conclusively, whatever the case maybe, dust up yourself and try again. Do not give up so easily because winners never quit and quitters never win. I am sure very soon you gonna look back and smile. Every successful people at some point had a share of that gloomy period when you feel you are all alone and the world is about comming down on you. But I am happy to announce to you that alot of people have tread this same path and today they have become success and point of reference in the society. Brother, it is never how far, but how well. and tough time never lasts tough people do!!!!!!

may God bless you for sharing this. even though I don't av suicidal thoughts I've been truly encouraged by this testimony of yours.

Go ahead and do it. Let me see the one your parents will prefer... Which one will you prefer for your son, dead or academic failure. Do you even know the reason you are failing those courses?

lol, do u want to witness it? Or avert it?

Just to avert it, to be proacrive- humor though!
