Another Nigerian guy commits suicide over jilted lover

A few weeks back, we brought you the story of a guy that committed suicide after his fiancee called off her engagement. Responding to the post, some commenters said it is only yoruba guys that "love too much' and commit suicide over a woman. Well another guy has committed suicide because his boo jilted him and yes, he is not YORUBA!

21-year-old student of Maritime Academy Oron, Effiong Otu committed suicide by hanging himself on a rope in his room on Thursday morning after he was jilted by his girl friend.According to reports,this happened on the same day he was marking the 10th  anniversary of his dad who died in 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 passed on.

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, suicide is never the answer, and being jilted should not be the end of life!  AA
