...he might have been a christian.

A coward. Will his death pay the bill? He now runs away and leaves his wife and family to sort out the mess he created. God punishes him wherever he is. All is well with the wife as she battles alone. A wicked man.

The person who committed suicide is a member of NASU/SSANU who have called-off their own strike and they will soon be paid! This suicide has absolutely nothing to do with ASUUstrike

ASUU why na

See depression

The misery in the grave cannot be better. The daughters he perished for will continue to enjoy life without him.

Jisos!

Na wao..

that's why education need to be free

I thought non academic staffs have been paid

I think it's more than non-payment of school fees. What about feeding and rent? Depression took him out! He should have resisted it! His children will leave on with or without him and go on to become something great! The university should give his wife the money they owed him.
