I saw a video of the national assembly debating on suicide.

One senator said if you attempt to kill yourself and fail you would got to jail 😂😂😂 because suicide is now a criminal act.

So the senate president now added that if you try to commit suicide you should make sure you succeed oooo because failed attempt is a criminal offence 😂😂😂.

No one talked about rehabilitating people that attempted suicide or cares to know the reason for the action.
What kind of comedians are leading us in this country.

Miss Annabel Ossai: Seriously I watched it on Arise today, but I was not shocked because our leaders are jokers

Adebukola Adenike: Comedians indeed jare 😅

Ibukunoladunni: It’s not even something to joke about . The natural instinct for humans to escape a problem isn’t suicide. I think people should know that so a person thinking of suicide needs serious help to restore bck to default

Meg Bassey: He is deeply ignorant about what triggers suicidal tendencies. His statement is very cruel and insensitive. Suicidal thoughts arise from unresolved physical, psychological, emotional and social trauma.

Mbuotidem Essien: They joke with everything

Danny Angbashim: Actually there's an existing act that criminalise suicide. It was enacted during Bubu time when suicide was very prevalent, particularly on the 3rd Mainland Bridge.
But it's a bad legislation that addressed the symptoms of a big societal dysfunction and some of the senators want to decriminalize it...

Comfort Yako Asala: Comedians is an understatement. The Senate leader is so uncouth especially with his words. Very senseless submission coming out from him.

Mummy G. O: Have you seen anything good from APC government? I watched on morning show
