SUICIDE: SNIPER, A MAJOR SOLUTION?

By nfcs -
Sniper is a poison others consider as water or juice to quench their anger permanently. This poison is meant to kill insects but some people take it to end their problems.
“Certainly, a life lived is better than a life cut short”. Depression destroys but expectations are more deadly.
Depression which is the act of being in a sad or unhappy mode, mostly due to the fact that things happen not as we planned. Expectation on the other hand is the act of anticipating or hoping for something to be done or happen.
Depression and expectation work hand in hand. Youths these days hardly have time to think about what is to come but venture into acts that destroy them completely.
Our expectations have taken the bigger and better part of us. Whatever be the case, SUICIDE IS NOT AN OPTION.
When one is depressed, it is important to talk to someone because it kills when we don’t trust or spit our problems. There are so many examples of suicide cases such as that of a 300 level student of the University of Benin who took sniper because her boyfriend left her. Another story is told of a boy who also committed suicide because he failed jamb. These two victims never expected their outcomes to be this way. The female victim never expected her boyfriend to break up with her neither did the guy expected to fail jamb.
This is as a result of so many expectations. What if she never expected her boyfriend to forever be with her? Or what if he didn’t expect an excellent result from jamb? Probably they would still be alive.
Problems and challenges are certainly part of life. Never expect the best but don’t give up on hope. No matter the difficulty, hang in there, your breakthrough is on its way. Suicide has not in any way be a therapy for heart ache, bitterness, trouble or pain but rather ends up creating more problems especially to the family and loved ones of the victims. ”A problem shared is half solved”.
Do the best things that make you happy. Your happiness shouldn’t depend on someone. Life is good when you live it happily. You are having more opportunities and chances when you are alive. Don’t take your life. Don’t consume sniper. It’s not a juice. It takes away everything from you. It kills.
Don’t be depressed. Learn to associate and talk to people. Expect less. Avoid sniper. Say no to suicide.

NFCS IN HISTORY

Nigeria Federation of Catholic Students (NFCS) is a body encompassing catholic students in all high institutions of learning. Its history can be traced back to 1920 when the idea of catholic students unionism came up; an internal catholic study union (ICSU) was created in swiss with George de Montenach as the president to deepen the urgency for reconciliation in a world torn apart by the first world war. During the late 1920s, the students society charged its President; Montenach, secretary; Max Gressly and father Tschunor to deepen the contacts with other student group, Dr. Gerald Brom, the then General Secretary of the Netherlands Catholic Association of Students responded quickly to this effort and a coalition of the students from three neutral countries during the war was created; Switzerland, Holland and Spain. Another chapter was created in early 1921 after a meeting between Max Gressly and Dr. Brom when it was decided to gather together the different associations of the student...

*The Untold Story Of what killed Samuel Okwaraji, the legendary Nigerian player who died while playing against India.* ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽ As I am writing this, I am struggling to plug a wall of emotions with a stoic face. General Kollington Ayinla’s Late Okwaraji which has filled my room with its sober and somber lines is not helping matters. Hmmm….there is no way one will tell the story of SAMUEL SOCHUKWUMA OKWARAJI without feeling the pain of the loss gnawing at your heart, and as your head swells with patriotic pride, your lacrimal glands conspire to betray you. For millions of Nigerians, the most fabled soccer player is none other than this gentleman. Many grew up listening to incredibly woven and mesmerizing story of how he gave up the ghost while Nigeria was playing against India. After Nigeria had defeated India by a world-record-breaking 99-0, and were on the verge of making it 100-0 and completing the humiliating defeat of t...
