Abstract
Abstract Historically, mental health has been clothed in secrecy in Nigeria. The mentally ill were sequestrated, disregarding their rights. Often victimized, they become suicidal without societal empathy and legal protection. Mental health law remains static, a Colonial legacy. Changing needs of society, socio-economic vicissitudes/depression affected the mental state of many Nigerians, which subsequently drove some to attempt suicide. Under the moribund Lunacy Act 1958, the Criminal and Penal Codes 2004, attempted suicide is criminalised, further exacerbating the psychological state of the suicidal. Government is reluctant to amend the Lunacy Act, along extant societal reality. This article examines the historical and social antecedents of the Lunacy Act, its relevance to mental healthcare; the socio-cultural factors impeding its amendment; and the Mental Health Act Bill. It concludes that these laws do not secure constitutionally guaranteed social responsibility of government. Nigeria has reached a crossroad. Citizens must demand that Government ensure reform of the mental health law.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
