A 55 year old father of six simply identified as Abib a.k.a Bibson has committed suicide at Ashaka area of Ibadan, in Ibadan South West Local Government Area of Oyo state.

It was gathered that the incident which occurred on Sunday night was discovered by neighbours who decided to break the door open on Monday morning.

Some of those who forced the door open, narrated to this reporter how the deceased body was found dangling on a rope tied to a ceiling fan in the living room.

A source said the remains of Abib was brought down the rope with the help of a traditionalist after a brief ritual.

A neighbour who gave his name as Akeem explained that the body was lowered after the case was reported at Mapo Police station , Ibadan.

A senior police officer attached to Mapo Police station , Ibadan who spoke with this reporter in confidence, confirmed the incident, after explaining how two police officers visited the scene while investigating the incident.

Many who knew the deceased well in the neighborhood described him as a peaceful and hardworking man.

According to one of the neighbours , the deceased who had a dry cleaning business had wound on his hand which was operated sometime ago.

The father of six was also said to have divorced his wife due to inability to resolve marital problems.

At the scene of the incident, scores of people were seen expressing sympathy , while others wondered what might have happened.

Damnnn niggar
No pity and if you quote me... me and you go get problem

A friend of mine in Ghana told me before that election that if tinubu should get up to 100 thousand votes knowing fully well that he brought upon Nigeria Buhari and Apc and knowing fully well he was part of Buhari's istration then it means we Nigerians are wicked, tribalistic, fake and the worse part of it is that it will reveal that we Nigerians don’t really hate bad government and the way our politicians are treating us we are just pretending to be angry because it is not our tribesman that is in power

Look at what is going on here on nairaland..if you criticise tinubu his blind ers will quote you and insult you...
This tribalism how long will it end. It is ruining us already.

Asswipemod:


Subsidy is gone for ever, oga dammmm niggar isoright. Stop whining here and move on.
If you are a Nigerian you didn't the subsidy removal of Jonathan and you ed the 2012 protest but you now the removal of tinubu subsidy removal may it not be well with you and your children
If you are a Nigerian and you criticise Jonathan and Buhari now you no longer want to criticise tinubu may it not be well with you and your children

When depressed about the turn of things in Nigeria it is best to do the following:
1. Be thankful for life.
2. Be thankful for health.
3. Be thankful for family, friends, neighbours and co-workers.
4. Reach out to co-travellers in destiny such as Classmates, Age-grade and friends with whom you share mutual commitments.
5. Keep working at the occupation you have at hand no matter how little it seems.
6. Look around you and you should soon see that you are not in the situation alone. Others are also ing through similar situations.
7. Ensure your cloth fits your size per time. Let family and folks around know what you are capable of.
8. Finally, look to God for help!
9. You should be okay.

RIP to him.
No surprise though. Went to order beans & corn and was told it’s now 1800 from the 600 I just paid for it 30 days ago.
That’s sad & depressing. People are really really suffering, even more since Tinubu.
It’s getting more & more scary every day.
