Is he a fisherman?

Kwara get river?

Very soon a Nigerian politician will come out to say he jumped because 'all our elders' are always high on drugs... Hardlife 4 naija 🤦🤦🤦

Is he ok

He couldn't pay up the 30k he is owing his friend & he was feeling guilty & ashamed 😭. So he thought of ending his life. May God deliver us from debt, poverty & shame.
