Many Nigerians have taken to social media on Thursday to mourn a Twitter influencer simply identified as Tunde, who allegedly died by suicide.
According to friends and colleagues on Twitter, the young man also known as Tuneri took his life on Wednesday, leaving behind his girlfriend, Tola and family members.
His death comes a day after he took to Twitter to reveal that he was seriously in need of money.
I need money like mad, Jesus

While mourning him, Tunde’s passing led to a conversation about reaching out to friends in their time of needs as many Twitter users claimed Tunde’s tweet about money was a cry for help but no one reached out.

Honestly for a guy to survive this period, he needs to be able to open up to either his parents, his friends or his woman, sadly nobody listens until they can’t take it anymore and go.

In 2017 I almost took my own life, tunde was one of the people that checked on me.
2021, he’s dead!
Sigh! I wish he could’ve used the strength he gave me on that day.
