The Ogba area of Lagos has been thrown into mourning following the tragic death of a young woman identified as Bola, who reportedly took her own life.
According to sources within the community, Bola was a staff member of Wado Credit & Co in Ogba. Colleagues described her as quiet, diligent, and committed to her work. News of her passing has left many in shock, especially those who interacted with her daily without suspecting the depth of her struggles.
She was said to have been battling significant personal and financial challenges in recent times. A handwritten note discovered after the incident revealed deep emotional distress, feelings of exhaustion, self-doubt, and fear about the future. In the note, she repeatedly apologised to loved ones and expressed a sense of hopelessness about her situation.
The tragic development has once again highlighted the growing concerns around mental health and the silent battles many individuals face behind closed doors. Advocates continue to stress the importance of checking in on loved ones and creating safe spaces for open conversations about emotional wellbeing.
If you or someone you know is struggling with overwhelming emotional pain or thoughts of self-harm, it is important to seek immediate help from a trusted person, religious leader, medical practitioner, or mental health professional. Support is available, and no one should have to go through such moments alone.
May her soul rest in peace.
