himself on a rope in his room on Thursday morning after he was jilted by his girlfriend.
According to reports, this happened on the same day he was marking the

a car accident. After the anniversary, his family members left the house and he
went to a neighbour to borrow a rope.
Moments
later, the suspicious neighbours wondered why he needed a rope and went to
check on him but found the door locked. Before they broke down the door, he had
died.
Before
hanging himself, he was said a called a friend telling him to tell a certain
blessing at UNICEM that she should be happy he has killed himself over her...
On the 6th
of July,he posted the following message on Facebook:
“It’s not
about being engaged, married or in a relationship. It’s about being happy,
safe, secured, relieved and feeling good. It’s about peaceful state of mind,
it’s about sleeping at night without the fear of losing what you’ve got.
It’s being
yourself and not someone else, it’s about feeling loved, happy, respected,
understood, cared for and appreciated.! Goodnight my beautiful people!"
Well, this
is a terrible trend that just got hold of Nigerian youth..this should not be
encouraged amongst us..
