Three months ago, Nigerians were stunned speechless when a woman, later identified as Mrs. Akinloye Oluwatoyin, allegedly jumped off the Third Mainland Bridge, into the Lagoon over an alleged discovery of her nude pictures and that of her lover on the internet.

Bionic man Andrew Wardle admitted last night that he had tried to end his life twice after feeling alienated from society.
