School doesn't guarantee SUCCESS,School(formal education)is not for all.know your area of comparative advantage and develop(gain communication skills and move)

Damn niggar
R.I.P young lad

When will some people understand that the fact you failed in a school examination doesn't mean you're gonna fail outside the real world. Some people who came out successfully in their exams while in school aren't even using their certificates to work Today.

I'm a graduate in Electrical engineering, I spent 5 years in the university but today I'm not using my certificate to work. Na yahoo I dey do.. It's been 7 years I haven't set my eyes on my certificate not to talk of using it to work.

Let me drink my scuuchi in peace, because I cannot come and kill myself.

Chai!
Na wa o...

The reason why i don't put too much pressure on my kids.
My dad almost pushed me to this boy's state.

Sometimes you need to constantly evaluate your kids emotionally and psychologically before giving them task.
Mbok I no born pikin because of school.

They will tell you Lagos is working, like working from where to where ? Can someone tell me what Sanwo Olu is doing? These people are working for TINUBU



The Rich(TINUBU) are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer

What gave a 17yrs old that commiting suicide is a key to covering shame for exans failures

The parents

Parents need to know how to encourage children rather than put more pressurein them. I when I wasn't doing well in my mid secondary school days and the pressure was much from my folks I felt like ending it, the shame and embarrassment of failing school exams. I repeated ss1, imagine that? I just didn't know how. It gives me shivers when I think back to those days bt I later finished with very good grades and ed my waec with one sitting easy like magic.

Everybody needs and encouragement. Failing doesn't mean u are failure No, u can still turn urself around.

Omo!!
Suicide is never an option but sometimes people can’t control their emotions and how they feel at given moment. Hence, some wants to end it all by all means.
Guidance counselor is essential and should be made mandatory in every school, especially secondary schools. Parents and other significant adults should endeavor to be at every given moment of their wards.

Thoroughly brainwashed by his failed parents

Failure is not the end of life, after every failure, success lies ahead.

Keep pushing and don't stop praying.

Wetin bring Lagos for Kwara matter?

I think am next.

Terrible, too much pressure from his people and depression contributed to this unfortunate death, plus ignorance of spiritual reality of God's judgment..parents should take it easy on their wards ..learn your child's skills and abilities, guide them into it instead of forcing them to be what u want them to be.. when I was very young my greatest talent was football ,I was a very skillful footballer around this same age bracket with this boy .offers came for me to travel to Europe to a football club ,but my dad stopped me and threatened to disown me if I didn't quit football..unfortunately I had to quit and entered university.though am still ok but whenever I ed the kind of money I should have had if I went professional with football, I got angry with my dad..most of guys from rich homes suffer this kind of thing..I my dad telling me, how can I tell my friends that my first born is playing football..he was talking about his ego against my God given talent...finally if u want to kill yourself believe me if u succeed in it ,what u will suffer on the other side of eternity will make u regret killing yourself..u didn't create yourself so u have no power to kill yourself..before God is murder (self murderer).

Sad.

How is this related Kai you need deliverance.

If only someone had spoken to this lad earlier on, this wouldn’t have happened
