Dis is wht I call short cut, and one way ticket to hell. Suicide is just a permanent solution to a temporary problem dat d result of it is eternal suffering in hell.

So desist frm d act of suicide bcos it doesn't solve d problems bcos even after death d problem is stil, and alwaz b there.

Pls tak note, wht doesn't kill u only makes u stronger. A word is enough 4d wise.

In cases like this, I am always proud to be Nigerian....we've seen and experienced worse depressions, betrayals, incests, political misdeeds,devastating economics and health challenges,Poverty, etc. we practically live in the dark for the better of our years in life. No water supply, no good roads and all...yet we chose life and hope. I do not intend to condemn any however. Just saying He had so many things to live for..
RIP bro.

Royal priesthood, you lack exposure and thanks to LIB, you have been given a platform to show how foolish you are, even from Christain standards, you are so guilty of judging others that the same measure awaits you. Suicide is a risk factor for Major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder and Schizzophrenia- three debilitating mental health disorders, it is never intentional and people who survive an attempted suicide say this much to their clinicians. Research in suicide has gone a long way in advanced countries while fools like you in Nigeria , sit down and prove to the world that your education is as good as none .

Rip. This is what depression can cause. Even taking medications will worsen it as point. Only Jesus can save. Please repent and believe in God and The saviour Jesus Christ.

1st off.... shut up with all this Hell Talk. As far as we know, there isn't such a thing as hell... nigerians, you'd never do research so you take everything dishd out to you whole. If u did any reading and proper research, you'd realize that in the original bible scrolls, there isn't such a concept as Hell, there in. #foodfortot. #yourwelcome
