The RRS official gently held Lanre by the legs and moved him away from the edge of the bridge. He was taken to RRS headquarters where he was counseled. When asked what made him to want to dive into the Lagoon, Lanre said he was frustrated after he lost N6,000 and a phone to some area boys in Lagos Island. He said his mother had given him N6, 000 to get food stuffs at Ita Faaji Market when some area boys accosted him and collected his phone and the money from him.
“I felt depressed after losing the N6, 000:00 and phone to the five boys who waylaid me on my way to the market. I couldn’t summon the courage to go back home to confront my mum that I lost the money she gave me to purchase food stuffs at Ita Faaji. I don’t know those guys and I have never seen them before” he saidLanre’s mother who was immediately invited, said that she has been looking for him for couple of hours after sending him on errand.
“I have searched everywhere, his friends’ and the entire neighbourhood. I was shocked to learn that he has attempted suicide by jumping into the Lagoon. He has just finished his secondary school. He went to Lagos City College. I don’t know why he wanted to commit suicide. He is a sickler but he has never been admitted in a hospital before. He is healthy. If I didn’t tell you, you won’t know. He is athletic and doing just fine. His father has traveled overseas and re-married. We are doing fine and okay with our lives. If he had returned home to tell me what happened, the worst I could have done was to slap him and threatened him to return my money for me. I know I have been an exceptional mother to the four of them. I have never allowed them to miss their father and they are doing quite well in their studies” she saidSource: Silverbird TV

Quite touching.
A caring Ma with such promises that brought tears 2 my eyes (where my weeping vase at?).
May God continue to bless her and enable her to take care of d kids. D foolish husband has abandoned them and traveled abroad to go and marry oloshi.
Very sad
Thank God he was saved...
Thank God for prompt intervention
The woman must be a very strict parent for the child to contemplate suicide instead of facing his mum
I think some parents need to loosen up a bit
Eya,he most hv really been frustrated
Guess she is a terror. For your kid to fear you & would rather commit suicide than face your wrath really says a lot about how in humane & formidable she is.
Thank Shod he's save
Thank God he's save
SAD STUFF.
Hear talk,the worst u would v done was to slap him,obviously u would v done more the reason he wanted to commit suicide,woman don't be a Margaret Thatcher to ur kids
Mother's words doesn't add up,for your 17yr old to be on the verge of attempting suicide because he was robed off your 6k speaks volumes about your parenting skills. She must be one harsh mum.
Wow.

On d other hand; our parents should draw a line on excessive discipline
Cos d poor boy would have died 4 nothing👣
Poor boy it's well
Eayah
So touched about this, seriously he could not forgive him self and parents too should be careful, this child considering how the mother would react to this resolved at suicide.

6k means diff things to all of us
To some its too all but dis boy almost died becahe felt it was too big
In conclusion
Be grateful for wat u have

You are the only person who have made sense so far. The mother might not be as strict as you all think. He felt depressed because he couldn't forgive himself for not being able to protect what was handed him esp. In this harsh economic situation. As a sickler, I've contemplated suicide more often than not. Our self worth is heavily battered. We feel like a burden to our loved ones and d world at large. Please everyone, continue to pray for us
Thank God For That Man Whi Rescued U ! God has something in store for u
Let's sow into his life. . I'm touched ..we all went through stuffs like this. Can we get his contact and sow into his life. Life could be hard sometimes.
Exactly what I taught,he knows the kind of mother he has and taught killing himself was the best..poor boy
She's not Strict..She's abusive
I won't call it strict
The mother must be very strict. But parents are just that way. I know the woman will be planning how she will beat him when he returns. Thank God oo. More Instagram followers for you
Shut up! What do you know about parenting??
Well said @Christianachristiana
Eyahhh....thank God he is saved!
@christiana
Nicely written
Eya thank God for his life

God dey
It is well with you. You're a warrior, sickle cell doesn't mean you should be depressed. Be thankful, I'm also a sickle cell patient, I'm always grateful to God for the gift of life. Never see yourself as a burden, always trust God for the best. I know most sicklers battle with depression but it can be overcomed with positive thoughts and confessions. You also need supportive friends and families who understand your plight, never believe the lies of the devil.
His mum must be a beast...that's all

How can we help this guy? Contact person?
Instagram....@just_j_shoes
The mom is not a beast, she is a disciplinarian, imagine having to take care of four children all alone. She has to be sonewhat strict with them less they go astray..
I remember loosing 4thousand as a child, I hid under the bed for well over 6 hours while my parents had been in serious distress, I actually tot of killing myself cause I knew my parents wont take it likely..
I came out in the midnight during prayers for finding me, and no, they didnt beat me and they are not beasts, they just never took any form of indiscipline, carelessness inclusive.

Eeyah
the mama na tyrant. if not what would make a child wanna commit suicide cos of ordinary 6k? not even 1M
