In recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day, comedienne Real Warri Pikin shared a personal story about how her husband went into debt after following the advice of a motivational speaker.

Asuoha revealed that her husband, influenced by the speaker, delved into various business ventures, resulting in a N22 million debt.

Feeling overwhelmed, she said she attempted suicide on June 6, 2018, but was saved by a timely intervention from a neighbour.

According to her, she is sharing her story to discourage others from considering suicide, emphasising that life’s challenges are temporary and that seeking help and holding on to faith can provide strength to overcome difficulties.

“I tried suicide so you don’t have to, in 2018, June 6, 3 pm to be precise, I attempted suicide, I gave up on life because the burden was too much.

“Life just dey hit me left right and centre, life dey turns me round like barber chair. And I felt like the only way to escape was to end the pain.

“Suicide is making a permanent decision to a temporary problem. And most of all, hold on to God and do the one your power reach,” the comedian said. (The Nation)
