At the plenary on Tuesday, the House passed for second reading, a bill seeking to amend the Criminal Code Act, Cap. C38, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004, sponsored by a member, Francis Waive.
The explanatory memorandum on the legislation read, ‘This bill seeks to amend the Criminal Code Act Cap C38 LFN 2004 to provide for a more rational punishment for the offence of attempted suicide. The punishment proposed by this bill will be curative and punitive, thereby making it possible for victims to be able to reintegrate into society.’
Punishment is not a solution, is better to find out what cause the negative act and find a proper solution
Priority should be rehabilitation!!!
Nigeria is a fraud ruled by a gang of Oloriburukus. EndNigeriaNowToSaveLives EndNigeriaNow
Instead of them to make policies that will rehabilitate the person, they want to aggravate the problem.A man on the ground fears no fall.
God help nigerian if she thinks she is educated but act like illiterate, God help motherland
Lets every citizen think are we really a citizen or we are just people this men and women use as specimen B
These politicians if their kids is faced with situations that will make them want to take their life, i bet u they would give this child the world to solve his or her problems not to beat him or her for the the suicide attempt
This is what will call democratic nation! If even wanting to take ur life comes with a forceful punishment! When there can be therapy, anyone wanting to take his or her life is faced with challenges they feel they cant beat! You should help these set of people not punish them
That means they have identified this as another avenue for stealing money...new budget item 'Community Service.' Awon olosi oloriburuku dishonorable.
That will be humiliation, somebody that is depressed already. That will make the person more suicidal
Does this make sense to people who proposed this. A person who attempts suicide is obviously in a depressed state and you want to punish them. Which kind weed these people dey smoke.😂
U guys have no idea what suicidal attempt is,they need treatment n monitoring,u r here talking abt punishment r there no medical personnel among u to educate u on this,its laughable
Punishment? Are you the giver of life? Someone realised s/he has found him/herself in a wrong place and decides to change course, what's your business? Instead of endearing your space to him, you are still talking about punishment! Ama wa rogo ni LU yi!
Not therapy? Lol….
If the member recognise that it's a mental health issue, then why is he proposing 1 year community service and not full treatment at a mental health facility after evaluation?
So someone cannot die in peace in this country?
Someone tried to end their life and your solution is punishment? Genius.
Community service abi therapy? Crase dey una head.
Will that stop it in any way,when dey Don't even know if the country is hard self
Una dey mad, just look at? Instead of promoting life, ur making it more harder, giving more reason for the mean suicid........ Naija leaders, love ur youths for greased nation.
Torturing the mind as a punishment for a mind-disturbing saga This country is a joke and our leaders are the jokers. It's such a socio-psychological fracas to be a Nigerian and even an acrid smell to take our leaders too serious✍️
I propose sexual therapy/healing
Are we serious at all as a nation Somebody want to kill his/herself because of frustration and you what to punish him more . Don't we have a psychologists in this country anymore.
All those old men na their pocket de no. De will not pass law that will affect them
Stupidity
I learnt dt in Nigeria, once someone gets into govt or d NASS, dy stop to reason as NORMAL human beings This is why ordinary Nigerians like me can't understand d kind of utterances dt frequently come frm govt or d NASS: they propose to punish someone for attempted suicide. SHAME!
