Actor and Musician Banky W has reacted to the numerous suicide reports that fills the news on a daily basis
Following the recent suicide by a lady on the 3rd main land bridge Lagos, the singer has advised people to reach out to psychiatric centers when they are depressed
He shared the various centers in Nigeria and wrote:
I just heard the heartbreaking news about the young lady who committed suicide by jumping off the 3rd mainland bridge in Lagos… Barely 48 hours after we discussed Anthony Bourdain.
This is a list of all the regional psychiatric centres in Nigeria (thanks @mocheddah). Please reach out and talk to someone. If you’re dealing with depression, it is not ridiculous. It is not something you should be ashamed of. If you feel like you’re done, and you have nothing left to live for, please believe that you are wrong.. Please talk to someone. Suicide is not the answer.
PS: My *personal* belief is that GOD is the answer. And if you’re in Lagos and willing to try Him, you can go to my church @mytph and talk to someone. Not trying to impose my personal spiritual beliefs on anyone
