I had An Encounter With a Mad Man Today!

I was on my way to the Korean Cultural Centre to attend a programme in honour of World Poetry Day when I decided to make a stop at a road side ATM gallery to withdraw some money. This guy came close to me and began to mumble meaningless things so I ignored him.

Then all of a sudden he began to shout at the top of his voice, cursing me out and thre€atening me: "I bind your spirit in Jesus name! I bind and cast you in Jesus name! You will remain like this in Jesus name!!" He said all this and more while prancing up and down.

Reasons I stopped believing in marriage

I was startled but refused to engage him. I just wanted to finish and leave. Everyone was just staring as though the guy and I had an unfinished business from before because he was not looking dishevelled or anything.

I was a bit scared because he could have att@cked me and even harmed me. What this incidence reminded me of was my final year in pharmacy school where as part of my project, my supervisor wanted me to interview some psychiatric patients institutionalized at the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria.

I was really scared then because Nigerians do not take their mentally challenged patients to the hospital until they are completely out of hand. A lot still needs to be done in terms of mental awareness in Nigeria. Until someone begins to roam the streets n@ked, att@cking people or being totally out of their mind, we do not take them seriously.

"Ohhh you're depressed? What do you have to be depressed about? Cheer up jare. Life is not fair to any body."
"Read your bible and pray."
"Which one is bipolar again? Who doesn't have mood swings?"
"You're hearing voices? Come let's go for deliverance."

Man's Inhumanity To Man on The Increase Everyday

See, mental illness has a broad spectrum and is as real as cancer, malaria, diabetes, typhoid, HI!V etc. If you know enough to see your doctor over the others, why the utter disregard for psychiatric conditions??

Note:
Having a mental disorder is not the end of the world. If you're feeling out of sorts, see a professional. You might be surprised at all the help waiting for you.
Let's join hands together to spread mental health awareness. Stop stigmatising people with mental health issues. It's not funny at all!

Payment Issues About Npower Volunteers

Today I believe I can solve the little problem of payment issues concerning the Npower Volunteers team (FG) For now, some state is still working on the list, while some like they have not submitted a there own list. So my advice for some people that are just bringing information that contradict the real thing. Please, I must say some headmistress/headmaster doesn't know anything about the payment that's the simple truth they are telling you what they feel. The moment they started paying other States like Enugu and Anambra it means they have the comprehensive list so people that should be worried now do having issues with account updating.

There are reasons why suicide happens.

Now I won't be writing from just the "something happened to you, you feel sad and bam, let's die" angle. I am including the mental health condition part. So let's start from establishing the fact that I am bipolar. Yes, bipolar mental disorder. Clinically diagnosed. Taking drugs and undergoing therapy. This declaration is important because I see people coming out to say, stop claiming depression and mental health issues so you can sound knowledgeable about an issue. So this one is not a claim, I can send you a copy of my doctor's report. I carry it around with my documents. Ehen, now that that one is clear. Let's talk. You see all of you talking about suicide being selfish don't know what you are saying. You think we wake up and just want to k!ill ourselves, because we don't want to be around you people and bear the pain alone. Because our existence somehow makes your life better. Because you even care about what we are going through? One of ...
