Hamzat Shares Inspirational Message amid Rising Suicide Rate

Rasaq AbdulKareem/

Lagos State deputy governor, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, has shared an inspirational message to encourage Nigerians who are about to give up in the race of life.

Hamzat posted the message copied from an unknown source on his Facebook page to show why it pays to persevere and finish the race.

The message came at a time scores of Nigerians are committing suicide by drinking sniper insecticide.

The post reads: “Biology says that after sexual intercourse, about 200 to 300 million sperms are deposited by the man; they all begin to swim upwards within the tract to meet with the ovum.

“Of the over 200 million that are deposited, only 300 to 500 actually reach the site (others get tired on the way because it is not a small race). And of the 300 that manage to reach the ovum (egg), only one fertilizes the egg, and in this case the Winning One was YOU.

“Have u ever thought about this? You ran a race without your eyes and you won, you ran without education and you won, you ran without a certificate and you won, you ran without help …and you won.

“What makes you think you will lose now? Now that you have both eyes and legs, now that you have a certificate, now that you have a plan, a dream and a vision.

“Beloved, you didn’t give up on day one, you can’t give up now; giving up now is an insult to your creator. It doesn’t matter what you see now, take it as a challenge; always remember that you WON from the womb.

“Always be Grateful to God no matter what. Better days ahead… You’ll all smile soon, let’s keep hope alive. Let’s keep praying for our country and leaders, let’s keep our hope. ……Never give up. You are too loaded to fail. – Unknown”
