Suicide

SUICIDE

Few days ago, after overcoming a few days of depression to about eighty percent, I was inspired to design a piece  (the picture at the upper right corner of the attached picture) Check out on www.tumihub.blogspot.com) titled “UNEXPLANABLE”

Few days after, I was about to sleep and couldn’t stop thinking about the picture. I was bothered and I posted it again (which I rarely do) with few more explanation. Someone chatted me up immediately and shared how she had been in the situation for days. She was glad she did.

Days later, I was sad to read the news of how someone known as @TweetsOfSHEGUN on twitter who committed suicide as a result of his failure in Jamb. It’s just so sad because I just wish he reached out to the right person before he took that step.

Then the worse came when a final year student known as Chukwuemeka Akachi on Facebook whose exams is starting today 14th of May precisely 10am, wrote a suicide poem- A good poet he is (click the link to get his poem https://tumihub.blogspot.com/2019/05/chuckwuemeka-akachis-suicide-note.html )     

Now, the worst for me today is when one of his close friends messaged me on Tumihub that he just needed someone to talk to. He explained that this is the second case they had in their class just this final semester. While he was explaining, it’s of no doubt that he’s much more depressed and may be having suicidal thoughts but he reached out and began sharing with me what life is doing to him.

Again, same person sent me voice note 10:34am as i was making this piece that another member of their class mate is in the hospital vomiting blood.

I reached out to a crew I am working with on matters like this to seek their help because I have started getting depressed only for me to hear one of us share her story of how she also had suicidal thought sometimes in 2017 but she overcame and now she thank God she didn’t go for that option because now, things look better and she’s happy that she survived it. She kept saying ‘someone said suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem”

Isn’t that true?

Please, Tumihub is calling out every NGO, government agencies, Life coaches, help lines and organizations to take this issue serious and make plans to curb it. For Tumihub, breakfree and Fearless platform, the approach we are looking at is a medium or platform where anyone and everyone can share what their case is; A platform to share your stories of how you go through any stage of victimization and how you overcame; a platform that the first thing that comes to your mind whenever you are going through depression is to share there and hear people that can relate and not judge or give advice that looks impossible. 
We are making plans and we are starting as soon as possible. If you are interested to be part of the team or you want to a member of the platform, send “Antivictim” to any of the medium below
