“They are here to take me home” – Panic as Nigerian leaves suicidal notes on Facebook
Update: She has been hospitalised
A Port Harcourt-based woman, Onwuzuruike Chidera, has got friends worried after she posted suicidal notes on Facebook.
In the notes posted on Sunday, October 2, 2022, she bid herself farewell, saying that “they are here to take her home”
“Rest In Peace, Dera. You have done your best. Rest, now,” she added.
According to entrepreneur, Chukwudi Iwuchukwu, the lady has been battling chronic clinical depression.
“Please, whoever that knows where Onwuzuruike Chidera lives in Port Harcourt should please go and check up on her. My friend is battling chronic clinical depression and I came online to see her (posting) cryptic suicidal message on her page on Facebook. She is not taking my calls as I have been calling her for the past 30 minutes,” he said.
Other friends on Facebook called on those near the lady to rush to her house to check on her.
Her friend, Chukwudi Iwuchukwu, confirmed on Monday that the lady is now in a hospital receiving treatment.
She wrote on Facebook: “Thank you my sister Linda for taking up the story. Onwuzuruike Chidera is fine now and receiving treatment at the hospital.” he wrote.
A message posted on her wall says she is stable and surrounded by family members and friend.
“Apologies for not being able to take all your calls. The latest is that she’s been having some health challenges. She’s stable now, with family members, colleagues and friends,” the message read.
“Good evening to you all. Thanks for your show of love and concern. Family members and colleagues at work are with CHIDERA now. She is stable. Pls pray for her full recovery. God bless you all”
Meanwhile, in a Father’s Day message to her Dad, Chidera, who graduated with First Class, revealed she was diagnosed of schizophrenia.
“When I was first diagnosed of schizophrenia, this man cried so much that I got scared. He went to the Holy Eucharist with me everyday and prayed for me for roughly one month,” the message partly read.
“My father, God bless him, is the kind of father I won’t trade in him for another.
I know people would want Dangote and Otedola to be their father and be less appreciative of the one God gave to them! That’s being ungrateful!
“I could still see my father’s smile on my graduation day! We have our squabbles and misunderstandings but he is still my father and will always be! He is “Nna Chidera First Class” I was the first to get it in my family. I did it for my Father who always wanted to be a lawyer as a child too! I might not be a Lawyer but I am thriving in my field and thanks to this man who believed that training me was not a waste. Fathers matter.”
