Son, your future responds to the decision you take, not excuses you make. So own up to your s**t and blame no one, cause responsibility unlocks authority to figure out a way out.

Son, don't be too quick to start manifesting. Real power is quiet. When David killed the lion, he didn't go announcing it, TIME did. Also, do remember always, that money & wealth grows in silence, not in display. Spending to look wealthy
is how men stay broke.

UNIZIK loses another student - a final year student of mass communication department (with name witheld for the main time for good reasons) and an only son to a widow, who reportedly drank snipper mixed with hollandia yogurt yesterday night, December 7, 2025. This is coming few hours after EruditeBlog got report on a student who died from electrocution while ironing his clothes.

The SUG president and Director of Socials on engaging the masscom student's friend in the room when it happened including some of the course mates, learnt that he has been threatening to commit su***de even when he was still in pre science, reasons as to why is yet unknown as at time of this report.

Reacting to the incident, a student identified as Chisom disclosed that something similar almost happened in her lodge. In her words: "Omo!! Something like this happened in my lodge by all thanks to God she didn't get to eat the food cause we intervened. I asked her what was her reason for wanting to commit su***de, Omo I was so disappointed when I heard the story behind it. She said she lent someone her school fees and has been calling the person but no response. And she told her parents about it and they told her to work to get back the money. That's why she got frustrated and wanted to end it all. I almost gave her a dirty slap, but I spoke to her for long and she was taken to a rehab centre cause I couldn't believe she wanted to kill herself cause of school fees 95k."

To our dear students, we do understand that suicidal thoughts are often a symptom of intense emotional pain, depression or even trauma, but taking your precious life has never been the best solution nor option. The truth is that many people who've been exactly where you are now have survived those darkest moments and later said they were glad they stayed.

Understanding alone that there are people who your death will cause so much pain and left devastated should be first reason to jettison such dark idea. And trust me, there are experiences, connections, and versions of your future self that you literally cannot imagine from this place of pain. If such understanding seems not to be there for any reason, REACHING OUT to anyone is another brave thing you can do. A "Hi ! Can I talk to you please?" Can go a long way healing your dark moments. I can remember how a woman with her two kids stopped me one early morning in Amansea road. She asked if I can lend her my phone so she call the husband. At first I thought she is all these "welcome to Lagos street/area nigas doings". On a second thought, I looked at her face and was seeing a depressed mum, the kids were so tender and innocent, I Shaa asked her to call the number while I do the dialling. The line wasn't reachable, I looked again at her face and saw tears dripping down her cheeks. I held her, asked her the problem, she said the husband left for work the previous day and hadn't returned as usual and isn't picking his calls. I wanted to laugh but had to hold myself realising she must be such a sweet soul and good wife who is just bothered about the dear husband's whereabouts after not hearing from him a whole day - "unlike him". I told her "mummy calm down, if you're doing this, what will your children do kwanu. Maybe he finished late and tired and so couldn't make it coming back. You know men ways nah, he probably would have decided to stay back the friend's place." She asked what about not taking his calls? I answered - not wanting to say anything that will raise speculation on accident nor loosing phone, "maybe he slept off. Trust me, your husband is fine (I don't know ohh, but I had this conviction he should), just calm down take your children home and be a strong mother to them till your husband returns. She said okay but not without my trying the number again. I left forgetting to at least collect her contact as I was getting late for my lectures that morning.

Two days later I saw her again, she saw me, greeted me, I stopped her Shaa make my bears no deceive her - say I still be small boy. She smiled and told me the husband later returned in the noon of that day. Me sef smiled back and told her you see, something you almost even endangered your children on. Trust me nah 😂, I asked her hope this her husband is a good man cause me sef go swear for am if he no dey treat her as nice as she is. We laughed and parted ways.
What if she hadn't opened up, she probably will do anything crazy that moment that'll endanger the innocent kids. A PROBLEM SHARED IS HALF SOLVED.

Please, if the depression is such that demands therapy, do go for it. And finally, whenever to your precious mind comes crazy thoughts that is definitely from pit of hell - cause it is never from God and so you know ~ SU***DE or ATTEMPTED SU***DE IS A SIN BEFORE GOD and AN OFFENCE BEFORE THE LAW. - just give yourself one more breath, one more hour or even a day, trust me, you'll realise you definitely do deserve the chance to see what tomorrow can bring when the pain feels a little lighter.

Don't give in to dark thoughts, you're so much still needed by your tomorrow. Stay alive and safe and please help us to SAY NO TO SU***DE. Love from Erudite_Inks.



***de isn't an option.
