A twitter user said he was passing through a street in Magodo, Lagos and saw people taking pics of an apparent suicide victim... he took the pic and shared on Twitter. Is this for real though? Someone committed suicide and they are taking photos or...that's not a human being?

Hi Linda,
I have lived at Magodo before, there is no where like that in Magodo.
Please, it can not be real
Amaka
Whatz tha fun in takin d pix of som1 who has committed suicide...
Ma'not be human being tho /:)
That is naija mentality for you, they take things for granted
Looks like a suicide and yes it is the new world order, every man, woman with a camera phone wants to be the next Christina Amanpour. We all crave the spotlight, irrespective of what we do to get there.
Foolish people...
The essence of government is also to check and control the ills of the society. There must be a law no matter how bizarre it might look banning people from taking some pictures
This must not be real. Straight face
BORN TO SHINE!!!!
People sef.....life's getting funnier by d day.
Lol am confused too#iamswish#
It looks like a prank.
People do not value life again.
Don't tink is for real.da head doesn't luk real
Nothn wey person no go see for naija
I can't believe this
Looks more like a movie scene
Yes Linda, this could be true
This is the result of social media, people try to make quick cash thru pictures and videos
It's really sad, pictures and videos are sent out before anyone considers helping the victim
Tee....
This is shangisha and not Magodo please!!!
This is shangisha and not Magodo please!!!
nothing new surprises me again,on this planet 'earth'.
One can only commit suicide wen he or she is possesed by kinda demon #kellywester#

The expression on their faces will simply let u in on the answer you seek.. These is not real Biko..!!

***that can not be human being biko..someone put that thing there.if its someone that committed suicide,those people can not stand there not to talk of taking picture of it.look closely,some of them are smiling.
Nawa
I don't know what this is but I think people have actually lost their humanity. Why take pictures of a dead or dying individual? What does it actually do for you? Smh
5 secrets to longer hair
It could be real oooo…. Na wa oooo!!!
Jeeez....wats d world turning into for petes sake
He also took a pic didn't he? Don't be a hypocrite. These days people are obsessed with twitter, facebook, and blogs that the first thing that comes to mind in such unfortunate situations is to take pics.
Hmmmmmm.....dat's serious
Them wan put am for their own twitter na
Is true ooo , is d third street to my house .
Dey are senseless,is it a tin a joy or funny...God
maybe the person was a witch
Best believe dt this picture is real, as real as 'Ebola'..... Aluu video is available on youtube because of this kind of gadget ignorant fools......#cheEzyjayne
Its a pity cos that's what social media has turned people into, these days people will see someone in trouble instead of helping, they are taking pix and the victim will end up dead.
Definatly that is not a human being or they wont be taking pictures of a dead person.
This is not real
Naija, wetin we no go see,na wa o!
Weird things happening all the time. Linda seriously getting a good news from your blog is like finding an Ebola patient in US. #Rarely
Techno una see wetin una cos.....its so alarming the way ppl re obsessed abt social networks, instead of reviving her na to snap picture so dey cn upload....if this is for real those ppl snapping shud be arrested for murder cos they killed dt fella twice
if u ask me, na who i go ask?
Clear prank photo
Linda are you asking me? Or do I need 2 do ur job for you, it's your job go and find out
Nigerians are getting MAD!!!!!
Why did you post it here if you feel it's not good? there should be a limit to what we send out all in the name of "breaking news"...or "digging deep"
Let's assume that is a scene in a movie .
This is real human being. passed that area this morning and i saw it. it is not prank. i just wonder why people will be so bold to take picture. i had to call the emergency no and they informed me that they are already aware.
This can't real. They can't that heartless watching their fellow being die.
Anyway, Discover how you can apply the power of internet to your career and business
D person don get Ebola
This is bluff. If not, they're not human
I think it a prank...if it was real people wouldn't be taking pictures,rather they would try to save her or something.
He is no different from them bcos all he did was take photos too.
I dnt wanna belv this is real
I can't believe is suicide but rather murdered
I don't think it's. A human being
i saw this also this morning while driving out of magodo isheri gate...very sad.
He cant beat them and he joined...Madam Linda your reporter is no different from the people taking pic...he did what they did
Welcome to d digital world. Technology has made us more stupid than d early men and we don't even know
Hmmmmmmmm...
short of words.
Naija don't take things serious. #####QUEENMAYA#####

Sucide tinz
Signs our tragic modern times. Nobody is attempting to cut her down/lose. Even women are taking pictures.... sad.
NIGERIANS! NIGERIANS. Why will you stand they boldly taking pics without even trying to bring the lady down, what kind of people are we? I bet most of them go to church every day of the week.
MAY HER SOUL REST IN PACE AMEN,
Gosh! this is true..i wonder what is wrong with those people there..they saw someone hanging, all they could do was to take picture of her..some of them are even smiling while snapping the body
Ebola: Liberian Woman commit suicide in Lagos
There was confusion on Bankole Street, Isheri-Oke, Lagos this morning when residents woke up to the sight of a woman hanging on a tree. The woman, popularly called Kate in the area, was found dead in a black sweater and orange skirt under a pear tree. Residents who spoke to Punch said the woman was a Liberian who worked in a sachet water factory before she died and that the woman did not live on their street. While they said that the woman had been sickly for some time, the residents said she did not appear to have any problem with anyone in the community...Read more..see more photos
But after the outbreak of the Ebola disease that was brought to Nigeria by a Liberian diplomat, Patrick Sawyer, some of the people in the area opted not to have anything to do with her. One of the residents who pleaded anonymity said:
“We see her in this neighbourhood every day. She always looked sick but people stopped selling to her after the Ebola outbreak. It could be because she was Liberian and looked sickly. This might have frustrated her.” Another resident who spoke to Punch after his request for anonymity was granted said:
“She attended a church in the area and her church members still saw her yesterday. I used to see her every day in the dress she died in. She was sick and people in this area had avoided her, especially after the Ebola outbreak.”
Seriously??????? D craze associated with taking pics at every damn tin we see is getting worse by d day.
Of wat use dis particular pics.
Linda I dont know ooo, ask d person dat sent d pics 2u. He/she shld hv confirmed b4 passing.
R.I.P
Dts it na... Uploading dp is more important.... Mschewwww and dis discrimination is a bit too much jare
Wow! This is real end time! Some1 committed suicide and all dese old women with kids at home cld do is happily take pictures? Hmmm! There is truly ffire on d mountain!!
God have mercy! its is no prank @ all, check d news out on punch website.
Na me snap first! What have we turned into?
Heard she was a frustrated liberian woman she killed herself because she was being humiliated due to the Ebola Outbreak in her country
Fucking bastards and illiterates! Dats a human being for crying out loud!! Gosh i'm so pissed right now!! Ignorance is rily a disease
Lol see people taking selfies in front of a dead corpse..height of insanity
Nigerians are Heartless people who are Cold blooded..i believe we will all answer to God for how we lived.,,Kai ...Wickedness instead of calling police
smh...........imagine..what social media has turned nigeria to-insensitive...some one dead...you people are heartless.even peoples mother
You need an English teacher ASAP.
Welcome to the 21st century where we have too many stupid people using smartphones... they don't know that as they are snapping some ghosts around them are dancing shoki aggressively.
The picture they sent to you for this report how was it taken..Linda ,it is people like you they send such pictures to..
linda, i stay in that neighborhood and i saw it on my way to the office this morning. It is so saddening.
this happened very close to isheri grammer school and not far from the enterance gate to magodo isheri.
dis is a pure prank photo no leg and blurred face
What is wrong ths people? It's not their fault. Where are nigerian cops ? Someone committed suicide outside/ on a busy street and no one was there to rescue her? I am going to say this, nigeria is not a safe place to live .
