RIP! Young Boy Commits Suicide After Failing His Grade 12 Examination

In Zambia a young boy, Joel Phiri has reportedly committed suicide after he failed his 12th-grade examination.

The deceased.

According to the sources, the deceased was asked by his uncle to repeat the two grade 12 subjects he had failed, a move that he didn’t accept.

Joel took his life by hanging himself. It’s very a sad situation losing such a young saul.

In Africa most countries the success of your life is determined by how you pass your exams.

If you fail people will look down upon you, if you pass everyone will praise you. The “examination mentality” is installed on our parents and guardians who force their kids to excel on “books” no matter how much they aren’t interested.

I don’t mean that kids shouldn’t be pushed to study, but at least the parents should give an ear to the child’s interest. Through this such disheartening incidence will be a thing of the past.

May he rest in peace

“He Had Just 2 Exams Left To Graduate, He Was Beaten To Death Because Of N3,500”

There’s a popular saying that death is inevitable but then, no one deserves to die for a crime he or she didn’t commit. Even though it is true that everyone will die one-day but then, murder shouldn’t be one of the ways to die. No one deserves that.

Well, many people have been reacting to the death of a final year student which lead to the closure of the Kebbi State University Of Science and Technology. The university was shut down after a 22-year-old microbiology student was beaten to death. The 22-year-old student identified as Sharif was reported to have been beaten to death because of the sum of 3,500 naira. Sharif purchased a phone and immediately switched it off because he had an exam. A few hours later, Sharif realised that the payment he made for the phone was reversed because of network failure. After he saw the bank reversal, he went back to the place he bought the phone to tell them it was reversed. Sharif took cash along so that he could pay the 3,500 naira but on getting to the place, hoodlums attacked him for being a thief. He was badly beaten and was rushed to the general hospital. Unfortunately, sharif died shortly after his admission.

This story has stirred different reactions online. Many concerned Nigerians have expressed shock at the promising young man’s death. However, a Muslim lady reacted to the story by saying Sharif had just two (2) exams left to graduate, saying he was called a thief and a yahoo boy after he went back there.
