The Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, in Osun State has been thrown to mourning following the death of a student identified as Opeyemi Grace Dara.

The deceased who was in the Department of English and Literature was said to have committed suicide after a dose of lethal substance popularly known as snipper.

But the authorities of the institution confirmed that the deceased committed suicide due to depression occasioned by poor academic records. When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of OAU, Segun Olanrewaju, confirmed the incident to our correspondent and promised that the institution would investigate the incident and make its findings public.Olanrewaju said, “We sympathise with the parents and guardian of the deceased called Dara. We just want our students and young ones to know that depression is not a thing they should encourage, no matter the situation or circumstance they find themselves.

What is that happened to him that would make him to behave so stupid like that?

Parents, schools and other ibstututions really need to do better!

To be honest here, most of these lecturers are pure Sadists, they just love to show that YES, nobody goes through them easily! Maybe our Institutions need to improve results marking systems too? R.I.P anyways

Life is precious my people

Pls my brothers and sisters becareful with life will brown from God ó

Very sad

Ooh no! Somehow we've got to let these kids know that failure is never a finality!

Who is guiding these children,? There is an urgent need for mentorship. With bad leadership and very poor economic situation, it’s very easy tor feel hopeless

A lot of us didn't just allow suicidal thought overcome us, but we sure did have days we were pushed to extreme in the yieldless system... God help us, now she rest.

Its a hard life schooling in this country... Less developed countries in Africa have gone past the system of hanging failure around one's neck like a curse... Here we in Nigeria where our leaders hardly know we have an academic system.

Double wahala for u.

Not again, seek for deliverance when depressed

WCRLO Oh no! After all the president has no certificate.

On my own personal opinion, I'm of strong view that psychological centers be established across the federation. Student's Union should have a monthly basis platform to access the well-being of students.

here we go again

I hope this is not the Dara that I briefly acquainted with. The story continued to piece together, from the name to the department and the supposed year of graduation. RIP anyway.

Coward act..when even president Buhari doesn't have ordinary waec certificate and some of the governors

Bad academic records shouldn't lead you to commit suicide. As a distinction and 2:1 student from both Poly and University, I wished I never studied so hard. It's a total waste of future time to study like a mad man only to end up in the same office and position with a 3rd class

Again!!!!!!!!

This is becoming too much o

God of Elijah, when will some people understand that in Nigeria academic excellence doesn't matter anymore?

May she find the peace she so desired🙏

oh ...

The result of making it look as if academics is our life in Nigeria ...he could have had a better life outside academics R.I.P

Suicide because of man made record. 🙃

That's how parents will say 'if u don't clear ur papers like ur mate, don't come back to this house' like say school na for everybody. Someone will read and prepare for exam, after all the effort, school go do their own madness, now they will tag it to something else. RIP dear 😭

Quite unfortunate.........result of crazy attachment on certificate in Nigeria.

This has to stop for goodness sake. RIP. 😭💔

Very sad Academic excellence does not equate to anything...... It is not worth taking your life for...... Awa tii a graduate dada gan kini koko

What a pity

This suicide issue becoming too rampant amongst our students these days. Please we need NGOs on counselling to help going to schools and writing online about this

That shouldn’t be an option, does that reverse or resolve the situation?

God help her... May her soul rest in peace

But why?

Sad
