A final year student of Ekiti State University (EKSU), identified as Oluwafemi Akindeko, attempted suicide on Friday, due to poor academic result, Premium Times reports.
It was gathered that Mr Akindeko is a final year student of the Accounting department. He was waiting for his results to be released so as to proceed for clearance for the National Youth Service Commission scheme.
He was, however, surprised after he failed one of his major courses, BUS 418, which he believed meant he would spend an extra year in school.
Prior to his act, he made a series of post on his Whatsapp status, expressing displeasure and loss of hope.
In some of his posts, he said: ‘Everything about today is just bad… God help me. This month is not smiling.
“Why is today like this? God help me throughout this month. From June 1, everything hasn’t been good.
“All I want to do now is to commit a crime and be sentenced to life imprisonment. So, keep off so you won’t fall a victim.
“Life and education is something I don’t want again. I guess going off is the best for now. I’m dropping this in case you call me and I’m not picking or you send a message and I’m not replying. Ire Ooooo! God be with the living.
“I regret ever coming to this world and I regret ever choosing to be educated. I swear. EKSU, you are cursed.”
