Friends have thrown a survival party for a Nigerian lady, Dorothy Etim Edet who was rescued after she attempted suicide on her birthday.
Dorothy, a popular activist took to her Facebook page to a suicide note, after she and her two roommates were raped by four men who entered their residence. Meanwhile, before now the young lady has been a rape victim more than 5 times.
It was learnt that the other two ladies reportedly committed suicide while Dorothy tried to be strong, however, frustrated and depressed, Dorothy took to her Facebook page on her birthday, to beg for death.
In a suicide note she shared on Facebook in the early hours of Sunday, March 21st, she said she is ready to die and hopes to return as a man, so that she can fight rapists and defend rape victims.
She wrote,
“ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!!
Sweet, sweet, suicide, Will you visit me tonight. Tired of feeling suicidal when my aspirations are stifled
Fighting back tears while smiling from ear to ear, I know God won’t help, He’s good, I need to believe in myself
I would.But every time I try dark forces pull me behind, my unfulfilled dreams haunt me incessantly, they depend on me to thrive. Its My BIRTHDAY Anyways, But I have to Go, Tired of All this headaches and Pains. Smiling outside while bleeding inside, Saying I’m Okay when I’m Not.
I will return as a Man, To fight for women and young girls, I will not spare any RAPIST, I’ll be a Judge with a difference, I’ll speak for the voiceless And Bless the Poor. My second coming will be AMAZING, LET ME REST!!!
#PleaseForgiveMe #depressionisademon #iwillreturn #itsmyturn”.
Fortunately, friends reached her in time and rushed her to the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital where she has been receiving treatment.
