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.
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.”

Enter your comment...The media sometimes contributes to societal problems. These rising suicidal inclinations via jumping into the lagoon has been sparked by the media broadcast of previous cases. I bet we are yet to see the last of them!

Suicide is not the solution in most cases, sometimes cases are just a call for attention. Cases could be rising because the therapists are the Pastors and he or she is not effective. Just a case of healthcare system deterioration. For someone to think about the suicide option, it has to take years before choosing the right moment, it is not a spur of the moment thing.
Revolucion now
Orji, a great man
Anonymous...see the church has money. Instead of using people's offering and tithes to build schools that church members can't attend, this is the kind of help they should be rendering to the public. People in debt,widows and orphans are the churches responsibility to care for and not buying stupid jets upandan for their religious armed robbers called pastors
Poor woman. Please I hope the authorities won't prosecute her. So much in life could make us lose heart. But, however bad it looks, God is bigger than any problem. Trust him in your darkest hour. He is omnipotent and omniscient. One day, by His Grace, she will look back at that episode and laugh.
Hope it isn't a way of getting attention and seeking help. Suicide is not a nigerian way even in the midst of depression.Anyway people can do anything for recession.
I don't believe all d people dat claim de want to commit suicide coz Y do it in d day time if u don't want to b rescued if really de want to commit suicide de should do it at night wen nobody wil c dem instead of creating drama 4 us it not dat am supporting suicide but enoff of dis drama we all know who committed suicide coz de do it wen nobody sees dem not som actors acting 4 us abeg

Anonymous abeg lwkmd abeg no kill me

It's just a show. She waited for the police to be close by. If you want to die, will you be concerned about taking off your shoes and wrapping your dress around you??? Attention seeker....sick!
Spiritual wickedness
That's if the Army or police won't be taking #200 lagoon pass from those who go there to commit suicides cos they'll see it as opportunity to hammer. They are the Most greedy,hungriest force personnel in the world. So unfortunate

Electric fence..you said, that's not wise at all, electric fence will be another item for suicide
Shea them swear for them???????
Police should start helping her first by tracking and retrieving her money from the Bureau de change man who first swindled her. Justice
U hit it.she just need help from the public and that's the easiest way she could think of,cause she can just commit suicide in her privacy.
I think our churches should be more responsible to their members.
Things are really bitting hard....the situation of the country is getting worse....there is hungry and people are suffering...i suggest they put barbe wire round the brigde with 24hrs surveillance in that bridge...people are really suffering....and the government of the day is doing nothing to stop the continued hardships in the land
Pls the police shld make a public statement that anyone caught trying to commit suicide will be arrested and prosecuted. It's a crime, there are other ways out
She wan commit suicide nah she begin pull shoe and others? She for just jump in straight. She's seeking attention. Abeg,i dey go 3rd mainland bridge tomorrow too, Linda, be sure to be there to rescue me. The news go sweet faa... Lolz
Wow I know this woman. I pass by her shop , I joke with my sister that she looks like a lion cos she's always donning big hair . That aside I have been seeing her diligently at her shop for years now , carefully quietly minding her business . She's unlike the rest of He lagos island fabric sellers that revel in vanity. It's sad to see her resort to this. Dear lion woman, I hope everything works out for you. Best wishes ma. Be strong. Some of us don't know you, yet you inspire us to show up everyday , regardless of what we are passing through. God bless you. PS RCCG can really do better. Hire marketing communications experts slash brand people pls since we are obviously running an organization.
Permite me to say dat I disagree dis story.al she's inneed of is to get an attention from nigerians so they can assist ha finacialy.if she realy wish to commit d sucide,why in d presence of ppl nt to talk of RRS?she knw she'll b rescued nd ha story wld b everywere.secondly,dere r many ways of commitin apart from takin urself to eko bridge al d way from leki.as far as am concern,she only wanted ha cry to b heared.
Wicked talk
God forgive u
Nigerians are so smart and think fast.This woman did not plan to die at all,she knew she will be rescued and she will be helped with her debt.mhhhh Nigerians
The pastor will help.
Thank u. If she really needed money she would have sold her property, jewelry and that watch she's wearing and she won't even have bout that horrible Afro hair. When I had such a problem I sold off all my gold and valuables to offset the debt. Now she's soliciting church that's Taking care of people looking for 2k to eat. Mscheeeew
Don't mind her. Church that's busy helping people eat should come and pay off ur 18m debt. So what happens to the widows? She better sell all that jewelry she's wearing and her house. I want to hear from her first child. All this one she's attacking him I'm sure he has a lot to say. For him to just fashi her there's more to the brouhaha
Tell her o. 18m from church?? Why she no go ask mosque? Na when problem come she change faith. Hian
😂😂😂😂
I tell u. I'm sure Fatai Nack am at least 50k that day. Job!!!
Lmaooo @ #200 lagoon pass, anon 00:47 , e never reach them like that na, loool.
Why is she seeing the ghosts of the people she is owing? Are they dead? Abi na her cult people dey chase her? Cause most of these rich yoruba textile women dey this their cult them.
good and nice news
Some people are so heartless, someone needs ur moral financial and spiritual help.You are saying, she is acting a script to get money. If you understand her story very well, you can see that she is a textile merchant not a riff-raff. She has been neglected by family and friends. Even the last resort,church can't help her where her final hope lasts.
Frustration and dejection is a twin-devil.People should save life by helping people in need financially and morally(not only spiritually). And if you don't have any pleasant advice, keep shut,dont add salt to people's injury.
One with God is majority, every body should hold God tight in truth then you can be able to face any storm with ease. God remains the answer.
One with God is majority, every one should hold God tight that way you can withstand any storm at all times, God remains the answer.
Thank u. Suicide not the solution, life is up and down.
Sister linda,you are doing great work,please you still need to get a little more professional in your pattern of public broadcasting of people images and the approach to the news,its good we respect people"s privacy ,you are no longer a small blogger who is desperate to just get any news into the public domain without any sense of responsibility because of the traffic you seeking for. .
Thank God for sparing her life and giving her another chance. Suicide is never the answer.
ROTFL @ #200 lagoon pass!Nigerian army n police,see ya life!
