What A Pity ,Frustrated Graduate Commits Suicide Over Unemployment

People still commit suicide? Damn that's cold ,,,, we know the Nigerian economy can give you much reasons to be frustrated ! But I don't think suicide is the best thing to do , there are many other ways to survive , you can't walk out of your own story ....... But ending it with a suicide is tragedy

             An unemployed polytechnic graduate (name withheld) has reportedly committed suicide for allegedly being jobless after graduation.
                  The deceased was said to have jumped into a lake at Aba Apata, Adegbayi, in Egbeda Local Government Area of Oyo State.
                    An eyewitness, who resides in the area, told the Nigerian Tribune that, the deceased said he was fed up with life because he has been searching for a job since his graduation from the higher institution but no luck. He said the deceased then decided to jump into the lake.

"What we heard was that the man is a polytechnic graduate and has looked for job after graduation which he could not find. Before he jumped into the river, he dropped his documents by the river bank and that was how we could locate his relatives," the witness said.
As at the time of filing this report, the corpse of the deceased was seen from afar floating on the water.
Meanwhile, one Mr. Taofeek Dauda, a fisherman by profession, who spoke with journalist said the deceased parents had visited the scene of the tragedy, adding that he told them to pay him 30, 000 naira to help them fish out the corpse with his canoe.
"I also told them that the money covers the materials we are going to use to perform some rituals before he could be buried, because it is very important to do such for whoever dies in this kind of circumstance," Dauda said.
The fisherman further hinted that several other lives have been lost inside the lake because of its size, and also for the fact that it is not barricaded.

When journalists visited the Egbeda Local Government secretariat on the Ibadan-Ife road to ascertain what the local government plan on doing about the incident, one Mrs Yetunde Samson, who is the Director of Information in the council declined comments saying; "is only the chairman that could comment on the matter but the chairman is not in the office."

In a related development, on October 29, 2014, a 32-year-old man identified as Simon Mbam, reportedly committed suicide after being wrongly accused of stealing N1, 0000 from a shop in the market.
