SUICIDE, the act of deliberately killing oneself is one great human tragedy. Sadly , it is also a growing phenomenon worldwide, with Nigeria making worrisome contributions.
Another twist to all of this is, for every successful suicide, there are several more which do not succeed i.e. attempted suicides ; so there are a lot of depressed people in our midst who are actively on the brink, but who have nowhere to turn to before it becomes too late. Evidence of the many failed suicide cases can be deduced from an academic study by the Medical University of Vienna published in 2015.
In Nigeria, the reasons for suicide range from joblessness, being jilted by a lover, or like the case of one Kogi man- it was the hardship caused by his salaries unpaid for upwards of one year. People, including our national lawmakers have decried its lethal qualities and have called for its outright ban. It has come as cheery news this week from the regulatory agency that the product will soon be banned in Nigeria.
