SUICIDE IS hyped these days. First, it was an Akwa Ibom man in Itu, then an Igbo man’s failed attempt in Lagos, followed by a Bayelsa man. And I believe there could be numerous other cases which go unreported.
NOW, OYIBO DON join. I hope this one did not equally blame Buhari, or did he? Suicide is NEVER the answer to any problem in life. It requires bravery to take your own life. But deep down the core of that bravery is flaming cowardice.

Folks can you now agree with me that money cannot solve all our problem in this life. The difference between when you have money versus when you don’t is the ability to get the money at the right time you needed it and to some others, they have to struggle a little bit to get it. However, having all the money that is full of 2 storey building doesn’t make you the happiest person in life. At times these rich folks have enormous problem to the extent that they are ready to trade all their monies to secure their happiness.
There are some people who have enough money to buy entire Country but they must visit their Doctor daily to get their insulin injection in order to survive and to be able to go by their daily activities. Any attempt for them to miss a daily dose of their injection, is a disaster for them. Where as an Okada man who is struggling to make #1500 daily full of energy with no major ailment will be blaming God for not placing him in the position of millionaire. We don’t have to have everything in this life. We just need to make use of what we have and we will be okay. Our problem is we always like to copy what others do wrongly instead of being contented with what we have. We always love complaining. Anyway that is human.
I don’t know what might have led to suicide act committed by this man but I’m sure it is not because he was loosing some money in his investment because he is capable to move out his investment to other Countries if that was the case but I believe there are other underlying problems which forced this man to take his life. Only God’s know but the question is, would you take your life even if you have one quarter of this guy fortune?

IT IS A PERFECTLY ARRANGED MURDER.
HIS BUSINESS PARTNERS SHOULD BE ARRESTED.
I THINK THEY USED VOODOO ON HIM ,TO COMMAND HIM TO KILL HIMSELVES. AFTER PREPARING THE RITUAL, THEN THEY WOULD PHONE TO FINISH HIM OFF.
THE SUPERDUPER FRAUDSTERSYAHOO.COM ARE AT WORK IN THIS ISSUES.
