BIO
NWABUOGU CHIDOZIE
VICTOR
Self help writer born in 1973 in Abia state, Nigeria. He is the Executive Director of Kick Out Suicide Initiative (KOSI) and the Chief Executive Officer of LIfesavers Books
CHILDHOOD
Victor grew up in an environment where families live in clusters gave him the opportunity for a fun-filled childhood where he engaged and enjoyed all the storytelling, cultural display, and the fight amongst children and families that were almost inevitable.
Walking miles in the early morning hours to fetch clean water from the Agbi Iyi (the stream that served as the primary water source for the villagers) before going to school cannot be forgotten in a hurry. As the eldest male child at home, he could not escape the core tasks of clearing the farmlands, feeding the animals, and going in search of anwuru or utagba (the local tobacco snuff) for his grandfather, the distance notwithstanding.
All these were, however, often compensated with the fresh palm wine, chicken head, and any unfinished food in the house; after all the piper also wipes his nose.
EDUCATION AND CAREER
Going through the tertiary education from 1994 to 2000 was fairly rough as it was dotted with both health and financial challenges, but the joy of graduating from the Department of Building and Quantity Surveying in 2000 serves as a succour that enveloped the difficult memories.
The Institute of Management and Technology, (IMT) Enugu served as a further fertile platform for his professional and spiritual stability.
REVIEWS
The author employed a simple and straight forward approach to convey his message on the underlying causes of suicide, it's effects, and the remedies (intervention) to arrest the trends.
People should read it, it's very interesting and it can be a lifesaver for people. Suicide is a crime and those who commit suicide won't go to heaven. Thank you for giving my mummy this book. It really helped me to know what suicide is
This piece of work is mind blowing. It serves as a wake-up call for those who are still sleeping with the thoughts of suicide. I must confess that I was deeply touched and I was moved to save this piece in my folder.
The book speaks to everyone; government, parents, tribe, churches, individuals. Everyone is a contributive factor to mental health. The book is well articulated. The part that held me was "a minute silence."
