A 25-Year-Old Man, Joseph Abodunrin, has committed suicide at the Dagbolu community in Osogbo Local Government Area of Osun State due to the cost of living in the country, which he allegedly claimed was taking a toll on his mental health.

A family member, Abodunrin Grace, confirmed his death on Thursday via her X handle.

According to the lady who described him as his best brother, Joseph had hidden all his pain in smiles, pretending that everything was okay, while encouraging them.

She wrote, “I still feel shattered, many words but unprocessed. You were the best brother. You encouraged us all, but you went to voice out in a space we couldn’t think of. You hid it all from us. You went about with fake laughter and smiles. Now we can’t get over it.

“He is my cousin (man is just a big brother). None of our laments can bring him back; the tagging is too much! I personally have been too strong. It’s no one’s fault. Please, if there’s one or two, please, please try to heal. It is needed. We’re all striving! It’s not easy for anyone.

“A little brief: With the expansion of lifestyle, economy, culture, arts, and all other life-based sectors!! Being sane and mentally stable is the only thing that can keep making all said work!!!Prioritize your Mental wellbeing.”

Before his demise, Joseph had repeatedly made tweets revealing that he would have taken his life, but for his siblings, whom he encouraged to live.

He took to his account on January 31, 2025, saying, “If not for my siblings, I would not commit suicide. Those younglings are still full of optimism, hope, and dreams that I don’t want to squash with the news of my death.

Quoting the same tweet on March 24, the day the 25-Year-Old ended it all, he in a series of tweets wrote, “I’m sorry I failed you guys, I couldn’t just do it anymore… No matter how I explain it. You won’t understand!!!

“I hope y’all find it in you to keep fighting, hopeful, never negotiating your dreams, and to finally and eventually thrive. That is my last wish. In everything, I give glory to God. I ran my race, and I gave it everything I had. Finally passing on the baton.

“Nothing much to say again…My passwords are in the first page of my diary. Goodbye!”

On March 9, he also queried his decision on not fast-tracking his suicide mission, stressing, “I have asked myself several times why I should fight and keep fighting to stay alive, and I have not gotten any meaningful answer ever since. I really don’t see any reason to continue here.”

Then, he further wrote, “But March is a decision month. None of what I am experiencing and feeling is not my fault…(sic) I didn’t create myself, no power over the gene I inherited or the parents I was born through…I have tried to seek help, but absolutely made it worse…I’m practicing self-compassion through this whole process, regardless of whatever decision I make.”

Joseph’s body is yet to be recovered as of the time of filing this report despite sharing the location where he committed suicide; however, checks revealed that the location he shared, ‘Dagbolu,’ is no longer active.

When contacted, the spokesperson for the Osun State Police Command, ASP Akeem Adeoye, told our correspondent that he was not aware of incident while promising to get back if there is any development.

“I am not aware of it. Maybe the family does not want it out. But I will let you know about any development,” he said.

The deceased celebrated his 25 Years birthday on February, 6, 2025.

N awaoo

Na wah o! the manner and speed at which these people are killing themselves off these days is very alarming

Vote for progress, they said NO . . . It's their blodaa that they will vote for

Now it's time for oga suicide to be shouting emilokan on their heads

Oceanjagaban:
Have you been to hell before...where is hell? give me a good description

Jump up, throw a summersault and Land with your Head . . . Trust me, you will see HELL koro-koro before your eyes

Hardship, he's probably the only one facing hardship. Why everyone never kill themselves.

More who voted for this dangerous government is coming.

Why are Tinubu supporters killing themselves over hunger ?

Helinues please I need an answer to this question

Hmmm

Nigeria is working, yet people are suffering and smile.
Tinubu’s economic master plan is yielding results.

He Shouted and STOOD on his MANDATE. Now he has DIED by HANGING on the same MANDATE.

Remember it's another Yoruba man from the SW Region.

Mental health case.

In today’s Nigeria, don’t let a fvckin thief oppress you to the extent that you will feel you are not doing enough. Learn to be hopeful, contented and keep striving legitimately.

I don’t know why a 25 year old boy should be committing suicide because of hardship. He probably already comparing himself with others.

We won’t all arrive at the same time. Some get it in the morning, while some do in the afternoon. Some even get it at night.

I am sure Ifeanyi that killed his father because of N70, 000 did not vote for him.

Suicide is never an option!!!


You will rot in hell if you commit suicide

Peller and Jarvis contributed to his death. Because you can afford it doesn't mean others can. Let's be guided with the choice of our words. Nigerians are suffering. Do not condemn the people protesting

Quite unfortunate. Suicide should never be an option because you don’t know if the other side will be worse!

Chaiiiii Nigeria I weep for Nigeria

Im 30 years old nothing works for me but we keep pushing

OK ,




we hope our leaders have read this.
