A Nigerian man, who felt he was unfortunate and plagued by bad luck after losing his job and his girlfriend to his bosom friend in quick succession, has taken his own life over the weekend.
The deceased simply identified as Deji was said to have lost his job after a colleague allegedly lied on him. Following his financial instability resulting from his joblessness, his girlfriend of three years was said to have also ditched him for his friend.
A Twitter user, @AndreFiree, who said he was Deji’s friend shared the story on the micro-blogging site on Tuesday and said he was saddened because a few days after his friend committed suicide, his former office recalled him to return to work after they discovered the truth.
“He was to be promoted with a new car,” he said.
He said Deji left behind a 12-year-old son.
He wrote:
“I think I should share this story with y’all, My friend Deji whom I’ve known for a long time committed suicide day before yesterday. He got fired from his job because his colleague lied on him, his Girlfriend of three years also ditched him for his friend, just because He wasn’t financially stable anymore.
“It was very hard for him, this was a Girl he took through school, got her the iPhone X she uses currently, he uses a Toyota Camry 2014. He begged her to hold on things would get better but she cursed him, saying he had bad luck.
“He has a son, a very brilliant boy who is just 12 years , I tell you all this story with tears in my eyes because this was a guy I saw build himself up and he was never the kind of guy to hurt even a fly, finally the truth came out at work and he was to be promoted with a new car.
“But he’s gone, the Md himself came to my house to look for him and when he found out Deji was dead, he couldn’t hold the tears and vowed he was going to arrest the colleague that lied on him. His son hasn’t stopped crying and his family. Don’t lay false accusations on people
“Please don’t ever do it , you don’t know what they go through behind closed doors, Making someone bad doesn’t make yourself feel better.”
