Read his post below.
I won’t believe that I’ll one day type a suicide epistle like this. I’ve been battling with depression for while now. No one knows what I’ve been going through. Nothing beats peace of mind and that I haven’t had in a while.
I once thought when there is money everything is fine and all problems are solved. Buh have come to understand that money can never buy peace of mind. U sleep and wake up peacefully. It’s a privilege that you ought to be grateful to God for, because is not ur right. So be grateful.
Don’t live your life for yourself alone, try to put a smile on someone’s face no matter how small. So many people battle depression secretly that nobody cares to know about. Nothing matters so much to humanity than for someone to be happy when he/she hears your name. Be the reason why someone is smiling today.
It’s a pity I’ve to leave this world this way. To all my family members, friends loved ones and wellwishers that I may have disappointed by this abominable act of mine, I sincerely apologise. It’s very easy to say suicide isn’t an option. Buh I do not wish my enemy to go through what I’m going through now. We’ll all meet to part no more.
Rest in peace Emmanuel Okikechukwu Evans Ochiotu
