Popular Nigerian influencer and brand marketing pioneer Lazywrita has died by suicide, with his final post surfacing days later.

In the message, he described a sense of happiness, freedom, and fulfilment after what he called a “full life.”

The post included light-hearted regrets—such as missing episodes of Stranger Things and not marrying his ex, whom he praised warmly and encouraged to “live fully.” He also sent love to family members Nene, Mary, Israel, Wadi, and Roy.

Peers, including Sir Dickson, expressed shock, recalling Lazywrita’s vibrant energy just weeks earlier.

His passing has triggered widespread tributes and urgent conversations about Nigeria’s mental health stigma. Advocates are reminding the public of available support, including helplines such as MANI at 08062106493.

Lazywrita’s content often brought joy to his followers, but his death underscores the silent struggles many face.

Vanguard Newspaper (October 2025) highlights a "conservative" estimate of 16,000 reported annual suicide deaths, noting that one Nigerian dies by suicide every 33 minutes.

⚠️ If you are struggling, please seek help—resources and support are available. Again, reach out to MANI at 08062106493.
