Man's Inhumanity To Man on The Increase Everyday

We take life too seriously. It's one life to live for everyone. Every man was born for purpose and living outside that purpose will continue to bring about an inner disequilibrium. God is not for the good or righteous, because no one is.

Su!icide claimed another soul today and I am here thinking about a lot of things; things like "that could just be me any day", things like "this life we live is just crazy and fuc**ked up". Let me tell you a story from last week. There have been cases of suic!ides in Nigeria since this year began, mostly young people, as young as 12 years old.

So I was in a class last week when a lecturer cracked a joke about someone committing su!icide. Then he went on to joke about sui!cide, saying that more people will still commit sui!cide this year because it is necessary that they di!e to stop overpopulation and some other things. He cracked the joke repeatedly and some of my classmates laughed about it.

I was ma@d. It took repeated admonitions from a friend for me to sit quietly and not speak up. She knows my struggles with su!icidal tendencies and she knew I would inadvertently be ru*de to the lecturer. All through that day, I kept wondering what had happened to people's humanity. I kept wondering why people would find suic!idal tendencies, which is an indicator of mental health issues, funny.

I didn't go to school the next day. I had been fig**hting my own demons for weeks and the lecturer's joke ru@bbed off so bad on my soul, it nearly pulled me under again, save for some friends who keep helping me love myself out of dark places.

"I had someone I l0ve. The relationship was going well until I had a dose of depression. I wanted to be alone. I felt like nothing would save me, not l0ove, not s £x, not prayers. I told him to go away. I was su!icidal, I wanted to just end it. And if you ask me why, I'd tell you I don't know. But I survived, thanks to friends but unfortunately, she is not coming back."

A man jumps into the lagoon in Lagos, he d!ies. Some say he is tired of life. I was tired of life too. Nobody planned to come into this world to k!ill themselves. Nobody planned to have psychological problems or mental health issues. We are not asking for your sympathy.

We are not asking for your help. All we ask is that if you do not have words of help and encouragement to offer, kindly be silent. Do not be so callous and insens!itive. Do not be the reason why someone would sink deeper into depression and maybe take his/her life. PLEASE KEEP QUIET.

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 ...
