Dearest Suicide

He happily wrote his final papers after spending six years for a 5 year course, only to realize he has seven carryover courses and an automatic extra year!

On the flip side, his relationship is hitting the rocks, as his lover is stalling on a reply after seven months. At home, he's having a hard time dealing with his father's erratic insults which gives him traumatic episodes and a low self esteem as he struggles to find his place between adolescence, teen age, and adulthood.

Locked in the middle of his life, his love, and his emotions, he takes a decision no one expected of him or saw coming.

In this long-anticipated and patiently awaited sequel, PaGidi continues the tale in his usual heart-grabbing and edge-of-your-seat conversational style by switching the rail from the main point of narrative about his heroic pursuit of love in the midst of his academic woes, picking up right where the Mystery ended in Book 1 by giving us livid depths to circumstances leading to tragic deaths amongst teenagers, while baring it all in a villain role by revealing conversations about his girlfriend whom he restricted to writing only emails to him...as he begins his...second relationship?

*******************************************************

Suicide is adjudged to be the tenth leading cause of death in the world, and the second leading cause of death amongst teenagers and young adults combined. According to the World Health Organization, approximately one million people die each year from suicide and suicide related causes, resulting in about one death by suicide every eleven minutes globally. With the same statistics narrowing it down to at least one person committing suicide every 40 seconds, as at year 2020.

In Nigeria in particular, the clusters of suicidal cases amongst several teenagers, youths, and few concerning adult like the Osapa London tragedy, raises awareness to the fact that many are experiencing emotional trauma, family dysfunction, relationship crisis, mental disorder (amongst others), and are in dire need of help. And sadly, in Nigeria, we address issues from the roof, not the root. Especially when it comes to matters of having someone to talk to, someone to listen to us, therapy, and everything that has to do with suicide and mental health conversations.

It is to this purpose that I am introducing you to DEAREST SUICIDE BOOK 2...Sometimes, DEATH becomes the only option.
