1. Let me drop my views about #Suicide.
Personally, I feel hurt whenever I hear or read about it. What comes to my heart is that "something is not right somewhere". And that "something need to be done". However, I'm sure the victim can overcome it. #Suicide

2. But what exactly is #Suicide? What is it all about? "Suicide simply means taking one's life intentionally." Of course, there are factors that leads to it. Such as depression, disappointments, sickness, loss of job, hopelessness and some related factors. #Suicide

3. There are other psychological factors too that can lead to #Suicide. But I have to say this, no matter the factor in which one is being entangled with, such can surly overcome. Taking one's life shouldn't be an option. #Suicide

4. Around January this year, I wrote a letter which I intends to give my wife. The letter contains my struggles and how I had decided to bow to pressure. Note this: I'm a Proprietor/Writer/Motivational Speaker, yet, I was overwhelmed by depression and I gave myself in. #Suicide

5. I wept bitterly, listened to my favourite daddies - @sam_adeyemi, @JoelOsteen and read some tweets from @OgbeniDipo. My wife tried to hold me back, my best friend #Dorcas also assisted me because she noticed me been offline for days. #Suicide

6. I was ready to take my life, but at last - something happened and I escaped that tragedy. I escaped because I spoke up, I didn't hide my depression and I sought counsel. This makes me believe that anyone considering #Suicide can be rescued provided he/she speak out. #Suicide

7. Though this world could be so harsh and hot, but considering taking one's life is not right. I can understand your pressure, stress, disappointments and sadness. I can also understand that frustration and the depression - but you can overcome it. #Suicide

8. Are you depressed? Speak up !
Are you frustrated? Open up !
There's no problem without solution.
No matter the ugly situation, your life can still be meaningful. Don't give up, please.#Suicide

9. I overcame it, you can also overcome it. God is with you and He will rescue you. Do you remember that Widow in 1Kings 17. She had prepared her house and ready to take her life with her son, but she didn't know God's plan do her. #Suicide

10. The Widow was ready to commit suicide because of her terrible condition, but God rescued her. She told the prophet her problem and solution came up. There's solution on your way - don't give up. Your life is precious ! #Suicide

11. Yesterday, I was posting about suicide, and I made up my mind to teach it in church today. I did just that, but after the service, a member came up to me and said he has made up his mind to kill himself. I felt sore to him, but encouraged him. #Suicide

12. I told him not to give up on life. I appreciated him for speaking up, and I promised to be more closer to him. He's an elderly man that has lost two wives within few years. Just imagine his sorry ! #Suicide

13. Sincerely, we have to help each other. Thank you @renoomokri @OgbeniDipo @Omojuwa @DrJoeAbah @DeleMomodu @Olusegunverdict and several other persons that might have said one thing about #Suicide. Please, let's use our influence to preach hope and love.

Life Is Precious !
