ON RISING SUICIDE CASES...

This sudden choice of suicide as a remedy should be condemned... suicide is cowardice! Why take a life you cannot give? Why kill yourself over something that can be overcome by talking to the right people?

The other day, a school girl killed herself; over not being loved by family... Is it compulsory that your family must love you? How many families are united? What happened to self love?

Yesterday, it was a Lagos-based DJ allegedly killing himself for the excuse that his wife left him...

Are you kidding me?

If your wife left you, will your killing yourself bring her back? Are there no other women around? Were you not living when you met her? Are you not aware of many women out there looking for a man to cling to? How does your death change anything?

Do you know how many men/ women that have been deserted by their spouses just this month alone, but they have not killed themselves.

If your wife or husband deserts you, it should be his/her loss and does not call for taking your life to prove a point...

Same yesterday, a man hung himself in Enugu...

More annoying is the fact that the reasons these suicide cases advance are rather very comical when dissected...

It's all very ridiculous... considering the fact that it is only death that does not have a solution...

Yes, depression is real, considering the harsh economy and all that, but talking helps too. When you feel low and unsure of yourself, especially your mental state, talk to a psychologist.

Talk to a guidance and counselor...

Talk to your pastor, Imam or religious leaders...

Talk to experts...

Suicide is not an option... it is cowardice... QED!

N-Power monitors: Minister tenders apology, assures payment in 72hrs

Monitors of N-Power are expected to receive payments for the months of March and April, 2020 within the next 72 hours, while the process of May is on-going. This was disclosed by the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouq, in a statement made available to Paulokahblog in Abuja Tuesday. In the statement signed by the Deputy Director Information, Rhoda Ishaku Iliya, the minister said all approvals have been made and processes for payment triggered. She stated that the delay for the payment was due to the change in government policy of migration from the Remita platform system to the GIFMIS system of payment, which requires offloading the beneficiaries into the new system before finally uploading, reviewing and final payment by the Social Investment Programme (SIP). The minister regretted any inconveniences caused by the delay towards the payment of the monitors of N-Power, who have proven their mant...

Stop inflicting economic hardship on Ebonyians with tax demands, ex-SSG implores Umahi

Former Secretary to the State Government of Ebonyi State, Professor Benard Odoh, has implored the Ebonyi State Governor, Engr. David Nweze Umahi, to desist from inflicting economic hardship on Ebonyians. In an open letter he made available to Paulokahblog Friday morning, Odoh said that, "as a way of cushioning the devastating effects of the covid-19 pandemic on Ebonyi’s struggling economy, there is urgent need to jettison the collection of tenement rates/ground rents from landlords, excessive/forceful drive for quarry haulage levies and waiving of personal income taxes". Odoh regretted that, despite the efforts of the state government in policing its borders against the COVID-19 pandemic, Ebonyi State, as of May 21, has recorded 13 cases and expressed hope that the situation would not get worse in the state in particular and Nigeria in general, even as he pledged support for the state government in ensuring that the active cases are managed successfully "to t...

Don't quit by Edgar Albert Guest

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all uphill, when the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile but you have to sigh, when care is pressing you down a bit - rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns. As everyone of us sometimes learns. And many a fellow turns about when he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow - you may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup; and he learned too late when the night came down, how close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - the silver tint of the clouds of doubt, and when you never can tell how close you are, it may be near when it seems afar; so stick to the fight when you're hardest hit - it's when things seem...
