Very troubled young soul. I regret having children myself. It is not worth the trouble!
He just needed Christ. I have enjoyed every minute of parenting
A child who slept on an empty stomach was asked to clean or basically work.
Arrest the sister and parent for manslaughter.
Thanks

That is his choice, better he is gone early than troubling others in older life
Ifintu ni Lungu,….LMAO
Some of you people are so insensitive. It is possible that he was accused falsely and it seems like he was quite a sensitive young man. This is all due to poverty. People should learn to grow even a small garden around the house to supplement meals. Of course that might not be possible for everybody. Suicide is not the answer. Please can some NGO start a suicide prevention programme? We need it asap.
