BEVERLY HILLS, March 11, (THEWILL) – A Nigerian Twitter influencer simply identified as Tunde has allegedly committed suicide less than 24 hours after posting on the platform that he needed money.
Tunde, popularly known as Tuneri, had posted on Twitter on Tuesday to seek financial help.
“I need money like mad, Jesus,” he had written.
According to some of his friends on Twitter, Tunde might have dealt with depression due to lack of money before taking his own life.
This development has sparked reactions on the social media platform with many users expressing divergent views.
Some Twitter users also expressed the need for people to always check on their friends.
“Tunde took his life out of depression, only God knows how long he has been trying to hold up! For a young man like him to fight and give up means he’s been holding up for a long time. We always tell men to speak up but the question is ‘when they speak up who would listen?”a user wrote.
“Tunde said he needed help, he called a few folks. But the they respond? No they probably thought it was one of those normal gist. To think that he was a media personality baffles me where all his colleagues will think all is going well with him…” another user wrote.

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. “
