Dear dad, I urgently need money. Reason: no milk, no milo, no gari, no sugar, no shito, no money to bush canteen; dining hall food too small, so-so nkitinkiti at night. If no response by next week, suicide is my last option. I hope you don’t want to lose your only son in school.

Dear son, suicide approved. Reasons: 1. your life has completely changed ever since you joined the Young Patriots, eii sorry, Parrots. I sent you to school to study biology but you seem to be studying demology; so-so, demo-demo. The other day it was Kumepreko demo, soon after it was wongbo demo, and later, yewu demo. Son, all the demo you participated in has something to do with death, so why won’t the spirit of death come upon you?
- The family of the man you bathed with acid is demanding compensation. 3. The boy whose mouth you hit with womafunu after taking some weeds is still on admission at the hospital; I’m paying so much in hospital bills.
Things are difficult as a result of your behaviour son, but I beg you, please die a dignified death that will bring honour to our family. I will plead with you not to join the all-die-be-die suicide mission and die a needless and foolish death. I hear you’ve been attending part-time classes at the Awuku College of Allied Bombs and Youth Revolution. Sammy, I know you are very smart, be creative about the way you choose to die. Wish you good luck son.
