Depression and Suicide: have your say



It is no longer news that a 30 years old graduate of Obafemi Awolowo University, who lived in Ikorodu axis of Lagos state, took his own life on the early hours of New Year day, 1st of January 2014. It was published by PM news and tailored online by bloggers. According the suicide letter found by the late Ogunsona Daniel Adekunle Adebambo’s younger brother, his action was blamed on his girl friend for father refusing to let him get married to her.


No doubt, this is not the first case of suicide by a bright and promising young person. In recent times, it has been a case of more guys than women in Nigeria. One of the major causes of decision to commit suicide is depression and hopelessness. Could it be said that men suffers more depression than women. Is it that men are becoming more emotional than women?
 
When women get emotional, they express it and move on, but men holds on to it even when there’s nothing they can do about the situation. It was recorded that a Nigerian American based model and a graduate of University of Lagos jumped out of a high story building after a troubled relationship.  A former super eagle’s player was mysteriously found dead in his apartment in America too. The year 2014 greeted another of such great loss of life due to lack of emotional control as mentioned above.

How else can you describe the situation, and what are the possible ways of avoiding such evil occurrences in the future? Have your say!
