In other news….. A Nigerian man, Ekpo Bassey Belano, has shared a heartfelt message for those going through tough times, urging them to hold on and never consider ending their lives.
Speaking from personal experience, Ekpo revealed that the road to recovery is possible, no matter how overwhelming life may seem. His words come more than a decade after he battled suicidal thoughts.
On Sunday, May 18, 2025, the father of one took to social media to open up about a dark chapter in his life. He explained that he struggled with a gambling addiction that led him deep into debt, pushing him to the brink of despair.
During that time, Ekpo said he felt abandoned as his girlfriend, family, and friends pulled away, making suicide seem like the only escape. Today, he shares his story as a beacon of hope for anyone facing similar challenges, reminding them that a brighter future is still possible.
“Eleven years ago, su!cide felt like my only escape. I had 2 extra years, was drowning in debt and gambling addiction, my girlfriend and friends had left, and family had distanced themselves,” he wrote.
“Then I listened to a Myles Munroe tape that transformed my life. He said, “Never apply a permanent solution to a temporary problem.” He also said, “Life is a fight for territory. Whatever you want, your finances, relationships, career, or health, you must fight for it. Keep fighting until you get it right.”
“No matter what you’re facing, it’s temporary. Don’t take your life, no matter how bad it seems. Keep fighting consciously, work on yourself, and prepare for opportunities that will break the chains of mediocrity. Above all, I wish you prosperity and a flourishing soul!.”
