Singer and actor, Banky W, has reacted to the recent suicide incident that occurred on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos.
It was reported on Sunday that a lady parked her SUV on the Third Mainland Bridge before jumping into the Lagoon.
Banky W took to Instagram on Monday to react to the news, advising people to reach out to psychiatric centers when they are depressed.
He wrote, “Please reach out and talk to someone. If you’re dealing with depression, it is not ridiculous. It is not something you should be ashamed of.”
“If you feel like you’re done, and you have nothing left to live for, please believe that you are wrong. Please talk to someone. Suicide is not the answer,” he added.
Nollywood director, Niyi Akinmolayan, recently advocated that people should be free to kill themselves if they believe they are done with life.
The controversial filmmaker and blogger said he does not get emotional about suicide, arguing that not everybody who kills him or herself is sick or depressed.
“Some people just want to leave when they are done,” he wrote, adding “it’s an idea I embrace totally.”
This comes days after CNN presenter and popular chef, Anthony Bourdain, killed himself in France at the age of 61.
