In a Facebook post from 2017, Oshodin advised those who work in the public sector to stick it out because circumstances might improve.

He wrote: “Another thing you have to know when working with the government because salary is peanut, you lose hope. Please dont. I know a woman that started work with N125 In 1986 now she is earning over N300, 000 In 2017. That is why you have to be with what you are doing because little drop of water make a mighty ocean.

According to his friend. “He committed suicide on Friday and according to a post on his Facebook, he said he was facing financial difficulties and could not pay the school fees of his two young daughters. It is a pathetic situation,”

His death has elicited a range of mixed reactions, with many claiming that he should not have taken his own life, causing further hardship for his dependents.
What are your opinions? Should he have committed suicide?
