A Twitter Influencer named Tunde, aka Tuneri allegedly committed suicide in the early hours of Thursday.
This happened just a day after tweeting “I need money like mad, Jesus” on his page.
Tunde’s death has sparked several reactions on social media with some using the opportunity to campaign about the mental health of Nigerian men.
Omo, seems Tunde was an amazing guy going by all the tributes
It's not a time for think pieces
Let's pray for his family and loved ones at this very difficult time. 😢
Rest well big man

This is so heartbreaking. Men go through a lot of pain and unfortunately we internalize the struggles so we don’t bother others. We need to open up and hear each other out more often and help where we can.
Rest In Peace Tunde (Tuneri) and may God have mercy on your soul. 💔🙏🏾— ✨👑 DaddyMØ👑✨✊🏾 (@therealdaddymo1) March 11, 2021
Going through tunde’s TL, while he was in need badly, he was still praying and encouraging other people in the same situation. Rest well tunde.

Alot of guys are going through hell.
Dear men, it is your responsibility to check up on your male friends & acquaintances. It's not only women that you check up on. Men, also make things easier by opening up to your friends (my table) 😞
Suicide is never an option. RIP Tunde.

There are millions of people like Tunde. Crying for help in a chaotic world, hoping someone reads in between the lines and reach out to them. They are still alive, still holding on. It could be a friend, family member or someone online. We can still rescue them.
Rip Tunde.

It hurts worse when the person who passed on was a ball of good vibes. Tunde came across as a happy person without stress.
I can imagine how terrible the people that knew him personally are feeling right now. What a disaster.
