The picture seen below is the picture of Ayodeji Balogun, who said a goodbye yesterday evening on FB, and today he is no more. Friends of the deceased said he injected himself with Go 90 at his home early this morning, and later hanged himself on a mango tree at his residence in Ipaja, Lagos.
The deceased was a student of the National Open University, Lagos and an ex-student of CMS Grammar school, and he seem to have been going through some difficulties in school. A lot of people claim he would have been saved if there were people to talk to about his psychological condition, but sadly none existed for him at that time and he took his own life, one that can never be regained again.
too bad. This is so so sad. RIP the brave one
What really happen ?…. Why taking ur own life?…no matter our condition we should always look for a way out …. I knw that ,it is shame or hardship made him took his own life! Why?
He shd rest in pieces. He do not deserve life. What kind of psychological or physiological difficulty was he facing in life? Do i need to explain the one i faced and is facing? He shd go to hell. If everybody who is faced with problems stars hanging themselves, who will remain.
in sch i was accused of conniving with my them HOD to bring down lecturer that engage in sorting, in the end even with almost all my classmate believing g the shit and calling me a black shit , i graduated through school with the best result in my department, that how to channel your grievance not take your life.
Oh God in heaven, pls save us & our youths frm dis becoming trend of comiting suicide. Purge our hearts and thoughts of all forms of satanic and demonic influences.Grant us ur mercy & give us the grace to face life challenges in whatever form it may come,knowing dat in U,we will overcome in Jesus Name I pray.
If u believe in dis pray, especially as a youth, re-sound and re-echo dis prayer in your hearth. For anoda form of evil is rearing its ugly head in our midst again and we must resist it in its entirety. Abt 2weeks ago, it was a student from UNN and now dis. B4 we know it, it will become the order of the day…..it is enough, we are already suffering from a lot…. Gayism, hemosexualism, lesbianism, bombing and suicide bombers…..name dem.
All these are alien to our belief, culture and tradition. Must we copy, learn and adopt foreign norms and practices dat are not good for us? In my faith and tradition, taking another’s life let alone yours is an abomination…. A TABOO!!!
No matter the challenges of life we face, we can OVERCOME. Be positive, look beyond the present for “No condition is permanent”. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. If you feel too burdened/troubled/wronged or whatever to dat point you think its over…… Wait! Just wait!! It is not over. Yes, it is not. Have a second…. Your solution and help is just close by.
Open up….talk to someone, seek help, seek advise and counsel. Pls don’t die in silence….talk and shout it out if need be. And I bet you, you will be better off soonest. May God help us all!!!
If a man doesn’t worth leaving why must such person leave ?
What on earth will make a man to kill his or herself?
If the man desire to this way should we conduct vigil for his demise ?
Is saving the only way to survive?
If really you kill yourself my friend you will be ask of your life but if it is someone that killed you and twist the story that person will see know peace now and forever more.may the lord who see beyoung us judge
men this is stupidity of the highest order …..I PRAY HE REST IN PIECIES

Casmir and chuks u guys are standard bastards..sum1 died nd u r saying he shd rest in pieces…I knw ds dude nd m sure it must hav bn a spiritual thing…u dnt say such u bunch of inconsiderate fools…dnt compare ursef wwiv him. Pple are stronger dan others. U dnt hav enuff information to knw wha reli happend to him bfre he killd him self…am disgusted in pple like u guys. Fucking shame to humanity…hw dare u speak bad abt sum1 dat had mayb went thru so many challenges nd killd himself…respect d dead…m_ guys shd pray fr forgivnss…
@ tony, are u saying there is a justification for taking your own life? Am not in support of casmir and chuks insulting the dead but with ur statement ‘u don’t have enuff information to know what really happened’ indicates that you are making a case for him killing himself. Please note, what ever information available to him, you or anybody on earth, THERE IS NO REASON WHAT SO EVER TO TAKE YOUR LIFE. For further clarification read your bible on what happens to those who take their live. May his soul rest in peace.
This is sad. Death is death, however it happens. Some people, just like a tree refusing to bow to the strong forces of a strong wind, have a strong will despite all odds. We all carry our individual share of life’s troubles, but there are people who cannot stand it alone, but just need an extra voice to keep them pushing. To some of us, Ayodeji might have done the stupidiest of all things, but let us don’t throw away the guess that he might have just needed someone to encourage him with a word or more…perhaps, only perhaps, his death might have been avoided. People dont just wake up to commit suicide, the thought would have been nursed within them overtime.
LOOK HERE, I WOULD NEVER SUPPORT SUICIDE NEVER. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH HELL AND BACK AND I WOULD NOT SUPPORT SUICIDE….NONETHELESS, THE INSENSITIVITY,LACK OF COMPASSION,LACK OF SYMPATHY EXPRESSED BY NIGERIANS IS MIND BUGGING AND EVEN WORSE THAN SUICIDE. YOU JUST READ THAT A MAN IS “DEAD”, HE HAD ISSUES, AND THAT IF YOU HAD HELPED HIM OUT HE MAY HAVE LIVED. INSTEAD OF SHOWING CONCERN AND CHECKING FOR THE NEXT MAN WHO MAY WANT TO COMMIT SUICIDE AND LEND HIM A HELPING HAND YOU START TO REIGN ABUSES ON THE DEAD MAN. IF THIS IS THE CONDITION OF THE HEART OF THE YOUTH IN NIGERIA I HERE SAY THIS COUNTRY IS DOOMED. WHAT A SHAME!!! ITS A PITY HE TOOK HIS LIFE I WISH I WAS THERE TO CONSOLE HIM AND GET HIM OUT OF THE SUICIDE MENTALITY. R.I.P BROTHER… ONLY GOD REALLY KNOWS.
Did you guys say PEACE? He is wicked and the Bible records that “there is no peace for the wicked”. He is heal-bound period. Let us hear this: NO MATTER WHAT WE FACE OR WHAT IS FACING US, LET US NOT TAKE OUT OWN LIFE. THIS LIFE IS PRECIOUS IN THE SIGHT OF GOD ALMIGHTY WHO CREATED LIFE. PEOPLE DO NOT TAKE YOUR OWN LIFE NO MATTER WHAT. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
@deeworldbest? u really call this brave? am just shocked at how retarded people can be.. why take ur life? its not gonna solve matters.. He’s dead no need beating yourselves up>> and some people are not just good on showing emotions dat doesnt mean they dont feel… some might write something while they feel the opposite… No matter what happened it isnt right to take ur life>> i guess he wasnt a christian or rather he never read that”part” of the bible..
oh and by the way he was considering what people were saying about him (idle gossips) not like he was in some kinda trouble
Stupid man. All nigerians ar sufering compare 2 oda oil rich kon3s. Mumu person doz dat mean u go enjoy there at grave ?. May God punish u
