Don’t kill yourself over anybody!!!

Early 2009 in Ibadan during my ND days. There’s this lovely lady, Bolaji living upstairs in my house at Sango, she was about completing her HND then when she attempted suicide by gulping Izzal and Jik because of a man...
That day, i just got back from class when I heard a noise from the top floor, “help, i’m dying”. I alerted my brother who was like “isn’t that Bolaji’s voice”. We both ran up the stairs, saw her in a pool of her saliva, her eyeballs gouging out while she wriggled in pains...
Neighbors started trouping in. “E fun lepo pupa” “e fun lepo pupa”. Before we could administer palm oil, she gnashed her teeth, she wasn’t opening up, “hospital hospital hospital”

By the time we carried her outside to place her on a bike, the entire compound was filled...
with gbeboruns, gbefilas and aprokos. Words started moving round “she wanted to commit suicide because of man bla bla bla”. We that were close to her sef never know wetin happen, these people are already forecasting, wawu...
She was rushed to the nearest hospital. My brother stayed with her till he came back that night. He went again the next day and this time, her family members were already in the hospital. After 2 days, she was able to talk to him in tears. She attempted suicide...
because her boyfriend broke up with her. It really pained my bro but why will you wanna die because of one man, no no no.

After a while she was discharged but she didn’t come back to School again. Why? She said she’s traumatized because the news went round Poly Ibadan then...
She never came back. Even her properties in the house were picked up by her brother. It was painful. I didn’t even have the chance to see her again till i left for FUTA that year.

Yesterday Sunday, a car scratched my car at Ikorodu, i came down, the driver came down...
wearing Cele white sutana. His wife too came down to say sorry but voooooom, I recognized her “Aunty Bolaji” i said.

She didn’t pick. So i moved closer and mentioned the house at Sango Ibadan, she picked instantly. Jumped for joy and we both had a long chat while her...
husband looked on. She introduced me to him and we both exchanged pleasantries. She opened the car and asked her three children to come down and say hello. Twin and a lastborn boy. Woow.

She reminded me of that incident and told me of how she met her new man who...
eventually became her husband. I was there pondering “what if you actually died then”

She quickly collected my bro number, called him instantly and they had a long sweet chat. She thanked God we heard her cry then and she even said i can post her story....
I looked at the children and prayed my small prayer “God, give me twin”

If you see her now, very beautiful in her late 30’s. Such sweet creature.
