Someone attempts suicide, survives, and your response is to send them to prison? 

Akpabio, how does that even make sense? This is someone who needs help, not punishment. 

What a shameful thing to suggest!

The consequence is that people will switch to more extreme methods, and reduce the chances (risks?) of survival

What a country.

Thanks to these types, you could go to sleep for a century, wake up and find Nigeria hasn’t developed an iota in that time.

Never has a head so vast contained so little.

Not the first country I’ve heard of doing this, and I still cannot figure out the logic for the life of me

Isn't this the plot for Suicide Island
