….Seek sponsorship, partnership with Govt agencies, Churches, NGOs, Schools
From Jeff Amechi Agbodo, Onitsha
Following the incessant cases of suicide by young and old across Nigeria, a Foundation known as Life Purpose Foundation has moved to tackle the challenging menace in the society.
The foundation which merged recently due to the cases of suicide committal across the nooks and crannies of the country and beyond aimed to assist people to decipher their life Purpose or destiny.
The Director General of the Foundation Bro. Hillary Nnamani while briefing newsmen expressed serious concerned over the menace of suicide said it will bring relief through Logo-theapy to people who bear with existential crises.
He said that the objective of the foundation was too curb the menace of suicide cases which surely were remotely caused by deviation from life Purpose, to promote longevity and fulfillment in life for people as well as eradicate death-bed regrets of unfulfillment due to ignorance.
According to Nnamani, “We have been partnering with Nigeria Correctional Service Enugu custodial Centre and NDLEA in rehabilitating inmates for proper reintegration into the society. We guide students of both Secondary and Tertiary Institutions to their right individual Life Errand.
“We have that intention of rehabilitating the depressed and educate and guide others to their life Purpose so as to avoid such crises.
“We intend to proliferate Centers for such assisted living everywhere from Africa to the ends of the Earth. But the project is capital intensive. We are yet to be sponsored.
“We have remote and immediate causes of problems. The remote cause of most problems is repudiation of one’s life Purpose. When one repudiates their life Purpose, they are like someone who attended a big conference and during lunch could not locate a banquet Hall with a banquet table bearing their name tag. The person could miss the lunch or manage with crumbs or leftovers from someone’s table. This is mediocrity, debase and frustrating if one has to live like this through out life time, hence they go for suicide. Criminal life style, depression, alcoholism and womanizing etc could also be observed as consolidation lifestyles they adopt.
“To checkmate this problem, everyone needs to be assisted to discover their life Purpose, ‘akalaka/Ikigai’ on time so they would live relevantly to themselves and the entire society. They hence enjoy long, healthy and fulfilled life. Since everyone is involved, we need to pass this teaching to every organized group of people -Church, school, etc and proliferate centres all over the world to reach to everyone.
“As time goes on, and especially when we are sponsored, we too will quarter and rehabilitate people who bear with existential crises, that is, those who repudiated their life meaning in our various centres” he stated.
