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?
Phone madness
ReplyDeleteI think u'd be the one to tell us what it is/was later..sure you going to confirm now.. It is well psalm 118:17. BishopDammy#
ReplyDeleteIts for real Linda, I drove past it this morning.

That is naija mentality for you, they take things for granted
ReplyDeleteLooks 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.
ReplyDeleteFoolish people...
ReplyDeleteThe 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
ReplyDeleteThis must not be real. Straight face
ReplyDeleteBORN TO SHINE!!!!
People sef.....life's getting funnier by d day.
ReplyDeleteLol am confused too#iamswish#
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a prank.

ReplyDeleteYes Linda, this could be true
ReplyDeleteThis 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

ReplyDeleteIts 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.
ReplyDeleteDefinatly that is not a human being or they wont be taking pictures of a dead person.
ReplyDeleteThis is not real
ReplyDeleteNaija, wetin we no go see,na wa o!

ReplyDeleteNigerians are getting MAD!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy 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"
ReplyDeleteLet's assume that is a scene in a movie .
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteThis can't real. They can't that heartless watching their fellow being die.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Discover how you can apply the power of internet to your career and business
You need an English teacher ASAP.

ReplyDeleteI think it a prank...if it was real people wouldn't be taking pictures,rather they would try to save her or something.
ReplyDeleteHe is no different from them bcos all he did was take photos too.
ReplyDeleteI dnt wanna belv this is real
ReplyDeleteI can't believe is suicide but rather murdered

ReplyDeleteSigns our tragic modern times. Nobody is attempting to cut her down/lose. Even women are taking pictures.... sad.
ReplyDeleteNIGERIANS! 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.
ReplyDeleteMAY HER SOUL REST IN PACE AMEN,
ReplyDeleteGosh! 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
ReplyDeleteEbola: 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.
ReplyDeleteOf 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

ReplyDeleteWow! 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!!
ReplyDeleteGod have mercy! its is no prank @ all, check d news out on punch website.
ReplyDeleteNa me snap first! What have we turned into?
ReplyDeleteHeard she was a frustrated liberian woman she killed herself because she was being humiliated due to the Ebola Outbreak in her country
ReplyDeleteFucking bastards and illiterates! Dats a human being for crying out loud!! Gosh i'm so pissed right now!! Ignorance is rily a disease
ReplyDeleteLol see people taking selfies in front of a dead corpse..height of insanity
ReplyDeleteNigerians 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
ReplyDeletesmh...........imagine..what social media has turned nigeria to-insensitive...some one dead...you people are heartless.even peoples mother
ReplyDeleteWelcome 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.
ReplyDeleteThe picture they sent to you for this report how was it taken..Linda ,it is people like you they send such pictures to..
ReplyDeletelinda, i stay in that neighborhood and i saw it on my way to the office this morning. It is so saddening.
ReplyDeletethis happened very close to isheri grammer school and not far from the enterance gate to magodo isheri.
ReplyDeletedis is a pure prank photo no leg and blurred face
ReplyDeleteWhat 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 .
ReplyDelete
