A first class final year English and Literary studies student of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka(UNN) Chukwuemeka Akachi has committed suicide .
He had been having a long battle with mental health. After leaving a suicide note and disclosing his long battle with mental health on Facebook,he died yesterday after he consumed two bottles of a poisonous substance....
It was the second time he would be attempting suicide in recent times According to one of his friends
He even added Lol and Amen........OMG OMG OMG!!!!
hmmmm it is well, everyone is battling with one thing or the other, may his soul rest in peace
ReplyDeletethis is slowly becoming a part of us, Lord help our children to have faith in you, no matter what they face, AMEN.
DeleteThis is a parents worse nightmare.
So painful and heartbreaking. May his soul find rest.
DeleteHmm, this young man's story is creepy and scary. Asides from his questionable mental state, he was a known ATHEIST. My younger sister is a final year student in the same department & she's been telling me unbelievable stuffs about him.
DeleteThe one that burst my brain is the fact that after he died & his younger brother was informed, he just shouted 'it is finished' and jumped off the Mass Comm building in school last night when they were reading during night class. He was immediately rushed to the hospital and he's been stabilized.
This is not ordinary at all. Let's watch what our children & teenagers are exposed to. The young man wasn't depressed as his Facebook page didn't portray him as one. He was just a LOST soul; one who was captivated by the thoughts of suicide, atheism, death, etc. He once drank FUEL in the bid to take his own life & when he couldn't succeed, he decided to go the sniper way.
All i can type now is MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON HIS SOUL.
@Ron, it’s very sad to read this, that even his brother attempted to take his own life. Not to sound somehow but it seems like mental illness is in their family but they are failing to keep themselves medicated.
DeleteYou can’t conclude that he’s not depressed because his Facebook doesn’t portray such. Facebook only portrays what its owner wants it to portray. And a lot of times, depressed people like to put on a facade to cover up what is truly going on.
He could have been killed. It said “the body” and not “my body”. Hmmmm
DeleteJezz! And he even laughed out loud??
ReplyDeleteI'm speechless.
as in enh, that right there is very deep, he sees life as a joke. He has lost all hope in God.
DeleteThat's the exhaustive type of mental health, U know? when U keep smiling through all the pain, the mask feels heavy! Worst part is when U try to express just how U feel, either nobody understands or they just carried away with their own life issues... What then do U do? keep up the pretense that all is well, until it's not...
DeleteHis soul shall rest in peace, now...
My God!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad, oh my God!
DeleteGEEZZZZZ............
ReplyDeleteGoose bumps all over my body......
What did I just read.
Someone should please hold my hand.
After all his accomplishments, was life not worth living for him?
The reason for our existence, all of us... is LOVE! When its lacking, we cannot truly appreciate the beauty of life... Not even money, trust me.. It's even worse when one is successful without love in their lives. Its a necessary & major human need.
DeleteAnon pls shut up. Many suicidal people are very well loved
DeleteSpeak carefully
Some of you are so abusive, you can't convey your point without asking the other person to shut up.
DeleteWhat some suicidal people actually need is love and a listening ear. Not disputing even loved people still feel suicidal. But constantly giving them love can make a difference.
DeleteLet's all try and show love to eachother.
Yea, they may be very well loved but they dont feel it.. Havent U come across the word 'Love language' before? & When i say LOVE, i mean true & pure, not the selfish type y'all dish out on the daily... Unconditional love, the type no-one has ever felt & contemplated suicide.
DeleteOMG. May God Almighty receive his soul Amen.
ReplyDeleteDid the parents not check or call on him every hour? His last day must have been hell and waiting if someone would call but am sure non did.
Comfort to his family. Akachi Hand of God hold and receive you Amen
In the end, the call is in our hands, its our duty eventually, to reach out when we hit rock bottom... He probably called someone that wasn't aware of his state of mind @the time... Its not actually easy to explain this kinda mental health ish to anyone though.. SMH! Its indeed a lonely life out there for some...
DeleteNa wa. May his soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteMy lord & my God!!! Akachi, why???😭😭😭😭
ReplyDeleteAnd he wrote such brilliant poetry.
ReplyDeleteThe thing with poets and writers is that they always feel too deeply.I don't think it is easy for them in this our vain,shallow world.
He couldn't be happy here.Maybe he is dancing and drinking and making merry wherever he is right now. He who lived with pain for so long no longer feels pain.
"He couldn't be happy here.Maybe he is dancing and drinking and making merry wherever he is right now"
DeleteI highly doubt it. Farewell, young lad.
At the last sentence of your words, I think death is the obliteration of all pains. In all, life itself is an incomplete voyage.
DeleteBut you really can't tell. He obviously thought death would offer him something life could not.He had written that he tried committing suicide more than once. It is very sad and if it is some consolation that he is finally at peace,then imma take that.
DeleteArtist generally are often times melancholic and prone to depression. They have delicate sensibilities.
DeletePerxian, dancing, drinking and merry making dont equal to 'happiness', U know? Peace of mind is the the real deal...
Delete14:48 I know and I ain't talking about happiness.
DeleteOh dear!!!!
ReplyDeleteBe a little empathic. People have issues. People have burdens.
ReplyDeleteThis dude could have been on a strict suicide watch. I’m so sorry son.
This sort of person shld not have been left alone.
DeleteI can remember when I went through one yeye heartbreak 5yrs ago,I was staying with my aunty.
Even though I wasn't suicidal but I was downnnnnnnn and just felt like sleeping and never getting up. But my aunt always came to check on me per second per second. Making sure I wasn't even thinking of harming myself.
My friends tried. Throughout the day,they will be on the phone with me constantly.
Come check me after work. Come and carry me for fellowship and outings.
The day of my ex wedding. They took me out on that day and made sure I didn't feel it much.
If he was on a suicide watch, it definately wasn't a strict one... Persons suffering from this type of suicidal mental health ish re usually never left alone, they re surrounded & supervised almost always... Thinking of the word 'Empathy', Iphie do U think its an innate thing with human beings or something learned overtime? because some peeps just dont have it in them @all, others re not even bothered to pretend to care...
DeleteAnon 14:01 some people are empaths while some are sadists. Some learn to be while some can't be bothered. It is what it is.
DeleteAnon 13:48, Hope you feel so muh better now❤️
DeleteAnon 14:01, Empathy is the ability to understand other people’s feelings and situations.. I feel like people are born to be loving and kind, then turn into monsters for various reasons.
This is why you see some horrible comments and wonder if this person is human. One can be strict and firm but still empathic. People that have lost their sense of empathy can still relearn it.
But in this world of drugs,mental diseases and all sorts, you just don’t know who you are having a run in with online.
Oh my! This is so sad
ReplyDeleteOMG such a young man what is really happening with suicide here and there
ReplyDeleteChai. Who knows where they go after death. Rip
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad! Why nau? It is well.
ReplyDeleteYimu at Stella. when I wrote several mails to u concerning depression n taking my life,begged u for giveaway which u never helped. even to feed was an issue which I promised to give evidence. did u help me,instead u asked I let u be while u choose others who didn't needed as I do. I won't ever forgive u.
ReplyDeleteLIKE I OWE YOU JACK!!!!
DeleteYOU ARE A BIG FOOL USING SUICIDE TO THINK YOU CAN GET MONEY OFF ME:::IDIOT...SO I DIDNT GIVE U DID YOU DIE?419 PIECE OF SHIT;WHO NEEDS YOUR FORGIVENESS WHEN I HAVE GODS MERCY?get the fuck out of here please.......Nonsense.:::Carry your silly self out of here...continue carrying grudge up and down,I am free....oniranu!!!
I am happy you are okay now from the depression and didn't take your life as the devil may have wanted, though you graduated into hate now. I pray you become successful in life, for that may be the healing you need to purge you from this hate and unforgiven.
Delete😂😂😂😂😂,Stella and annoy no go kill person. I beg make una put this one for Funny comments post
DeleteAnon, you have no right whatsoever in your life to demand for money that is not yours nor did you work for by force from anyone SDK, or friends and family.
DeleteHow long will your Beggy Beggy beggar attitude continue?
We are filled with mercy and grace. Keep your forgiveness to yourself and stinking lazy character.
One last thing, don't try threatening anyone with self suicide attempt. Remind me how old are you again?
Go and learn any trade or skills for your self esteem
Anon 13:48, sorry about that heartbreak you had and your family and friends rallying around you to distract your troubled soul.
DeleteBe strong
Madam anonymous your approach is wrong. No one owes you anything. That is how I had to cut off an entitled friend after iv helped her with over 200k and it wasn't still enough. Saying you will never forgive someone untop their own money is wrong.
DeleteStella you were also too harsh with your response. Take it easy I know the anonymous was rude but she may be truly depressed and suicidal and even if we can't give money. Let's watch our words before someone kills herself.
Oh wow!!! Your entitlement is on an all time high.
DeleteLmao! Giveaway does not cure depression my fren!!!
DeletePeople like you make others think mental health issues are a joke.
Please and please no matter what you are going through, suicide is not the way out. I've gone through worst things in this life and I'm still standing here strong. I survived so you can too. All that is needed is a positive mind even when it seems up side down. I know it's not easy but I will advice you to speak out when you are down, depressed or suicidal. I spoke out when I was depressed and suicidal. It worked for me. I came out of it. Do not allow the devil trick you into believing that you are the only person it's happening to or that there's no way out. Don't listen to the devil. Don't even allow him say pim so you don't welcome him to have more access for devilish sermons or counsel in your life. Please speak out when you are down. If you don't have anyone to talk to, talk to me. We can both come out of it together. It really aches me at the alarming increase of suicide out there. God please help your children. Renew our minds Lord. Strengthen all that are weak...
ReplyDeleteHe had people around him who cared and he obviously spoke out. It’s just so sad that he didn’t believe in God to save him out of his hopelessness.
DeleteThis is encouraging but please what you are going through isn't worse or better or tougher or lighter than what anybody else afflicted is suffering.There shouldn't even be any comparison because you are each fighting your own personal demons and the magnitude of the battle is something only the fighter knows.
DeleteI'm sorry you have been through alot.I hope you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Kamikaze, I beg to disagree. There are varying degrees of experiences so indeed some can be worse.
DeleteMay His soul find rest.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with this suicide that is trending now? Abi na handwork of Yahoo Boys?
ReplyDeletestupid question. do a brain check next time before vomiting rubbish
DeleteIs suicide the option?...hmmmmm...Rest in peace
ReplyDeleteGod please protect your children from the spirit of depression and suicide.
ReplyDeleteThis is really sad.
Who has heard from BV kelechi?
I don’t know but I pray God protects her.
Luckily help got to Kelechi before she could end it all...she is currently somewhere under strict watch and being treated for acute depression....
Deleteit is well....
Jesus! My heart skipped
DeleteThis is a good news from you Stella, happy she is still alive and got the help to stay alive.
DeleteThank you Lord for kelechi. Am really happy hearing this.
DeleteFarewell dear.
Thank God .
DeleteGod bless you Stella .
Chukwuemeka, why? you shouldn't have!!!
ReplyDeleteMy condolence to his parent and love ones.
The worst type of people to be depressed are the highly intelligent ones who do not believe in God, so nothing to hold on to. It's very easy for these ones to end it all without thinking too hard. Unfortunately, it's the highly intelligent ones that fall into deppression most times.
ReplyDeleteI hope he finds peace now. I hope his loved ones find peace too.
Not everyone enjoys being in a body and being alive. People who hate living will eventually find a way to end it. We just have to start accepting that not everyone finds life to be amazing nor are they interested in ppl and the demands of staying alive in a cruel world. Hope he finds the peace in death he did not find here on earth.
ReplyDeleteSo true! For someone like this guy, I don’t think anybody could have done much for him long term, he would have kept attempting suicide until he succeeded or he truly found God.
DeleteThis is really really sad. May God grant his family to bear this great loss. May his soul RIP. Amen
ReplyDeleteLost my sec school English teacher to suicide and it was painful. Very intelligent, intuitive fellow....sadly, these kind of people tend to look inwards not outwards. They can often be too hard on themselves. It's sad but I pray for peace for his family
ReplyDeleteHe was such a brilliant guy first class material
ReplyDeleteI remember how he would come to class and invite us for poetry classes/tutorials
He is always smiling and such a great poet
Some of you will never know how tasking it truly is to stay alive. Some of us are only here still because we are cowards; Because we fear what lies beyond; because....
ReplyDeleteThis got to me real bad especially because my partner is bipolar and schizophrenic. He's attempted suicide in the past and still suicidal. He is also a brilliant writer and poet.
ReplyDeleteI live in constant fear of whether or not I'll get the sad news. I try, I really do try to be there, but over time you lose yourself and mind too if you are not trained in handling cases of mental health. He doesn't take his meds because according to him, it takes away the one part of his life he enjoys, his writing.
It really saddens me that such a young and brilliant mind is gone. It also bring to the fore my fears for my partner. Dear Lord, may I never get the call.
You people are trying. bipolar and schizo.
DeleteDo you not feel unsafe yourself. I just met a very nice guy,very hardworking and a friend gave me the guys story that he previously had a mental breakdown and had mental health issues as well as issues with weed some time ago.
Even though I really like this guy I don't think I can go on to date him. I need to think about myself and my safety.
This is really sad. "Where do atheists go when they die?". I guess he found out.
ReplyDeleteI just found out about my cousins death here. God why me
ReplyDeleteRip young man
ReplyDeleteThere is perceptibly a lot to realize about this.
ReplyDeleteI believe you made some nice points in features also.
You made some good points there. I looked on the internet for additional information about the issue and found most individuals will go along
