"As you are seeing me like this, well dressed, you would think am living fine. But in my heart is a heavy burden. A burden of huge debt, disappointment from trusting people and abandoned by a son I love and bought a car for. I am a moving corpse".

Shortly after the report of Mrs. Abigael Ogunyinka who was rescued by fishermen in Lagos Lagoon early Friday morning, another woman was today prevented at about 11:25 a.m from leaping into the Lagoon by the operatives of the Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos state Police Command.

The lady, Taiwo Momoh, 58, a textile dealer in Lagos Island, had put off her shoes and was wrapping her dress around her when men of RRS 226 prevented her from jumping.

The lady, who lives in Lekki Lagos, disclosed that she was pushed to committing suicide in order to put an end to her constant sleeplessness and shame occasioned by her indebtedness to three Swiss textile dealers.

She noted that her problem started sometimes in 2015, when a Bureau De Change dealer carted away her N18.7 million she wanted to change to pay her foreign creditors.

She added that the creditors had given her Swiss textiles worth several millions of naira, noting that she has maintained good relationship with the creditors for more than 15 years.

Her condition she said became compounded when robbers invaded her shop in Lagos Island carting away most of the textiles that was left with her.

She emphasized that most of the time, she has been having sleepless nights and seeing the ghosts of the creditors whenever she was alone.

Momoh, a member of the Redeemed Christain Church of God disclosed that on several occasions she had attempted to see her Parish Pastor to identify with her problem and for the church to help her raise money to meet her Swiss Creditors in order to assure them that she would pay their money.

She noted that she was only allowed to see the second in command, which has yielded no fruits.

“Added to all these, my first son, whom I felt would stand by me and console me abandoned me. By the time I’m gone, maybe he would come around and inherit what is left.

I don’t want to use my debt and death to disturb anybody. I was in the shop this morning. I have looked everywhere and estimated what is there. I think, with my house, a bungalow, those I am leaving behind can still live comfortably. I want to go and meet God. This world is empty”, she stated.

“I won’t because I want to get rich join cult group. I go my way and I don’t socialize unnecessarily”, she concluded.

She added, “I was a Muslim, I have because of this problem been jumping from one faith to the other. The problem is too much for me to bear. I want to go back to God.

That is why I have dressed very simply. I am ready to meet HIM. If He cannot address my problem on earth, let me go back to Him.”

so u want to go back to ur creator owning someone's sweat. do you want the people that u owning to commit suicide after knowing they don't have any hope of getting their money back when you died.

When u were living in affluence and luxury u never contemplated suicide,

But when ur faith is about to be tested,u want to kill urself,You forget this life is 2face,time to laugh n time to cry.

Perhaps God is always with the patient if only u know.

May be this is the new trend now...Attempt suicide, get stopped, get publicity, get sympathizers and good Samaritans, get cash...[b][/b]

Lord what's happening

*****Warning*****

Any Nigerian caught trying to commit suicide must be rescued and arrested. We are all in this economic crisis together. Nobody is going anywhere.

It's not worth it

This govt is not sensitive.
It makes me remember the time of prophet Elijah, when d woman said lemme eat this food and die.
Our moral has changed negatively. Even goat.
Cassandra Y?

many a times, there is one thing or the other disturbing our heart that no one could understand no matter how explainable we tried to make it, bringing man to rock bottom of life leading to depression. But why dont you hold on more to life, see what we face presently as mirage which will soon be cleared, never trying to be reactive to our environment, condition, people, business, work, finances, marital life, family e.t.c by making them define us our joy, who and what we are, but being proactive, believing we have the power to choose what we sincerely want, whom we want to be. We have the ability to respond to every action happening around us making us RESPONSE-ABLE (Responsible). Lets keep strong. SUICIDE IS NEVER THE OPTION, Never Show Your Weakness. THERE'S LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.

What?

New way to tell the world your problems, i don wear singlet they go 3rd mainland bridge. I go make sure say na one rich man car wey park, na for there i go act my film o. I go just do as if i wan jump but na for slow motion o :-D. If the man don rescue me, i go say:
