On Monday, the 11th of January 2021, a case of a missing adult began circulating on Twitter with the caption #helpfindDele.
Whilst some had the notion that he had probably passed the night with his friend and he would return soon, others felt he was a grown man and so he could take care of himself.
But sadly, this was not the case as reports stated that Dele was found dead on Wednesday, the 13th of January. Some people were quick to debunk this news and told other tweeps to stop peddling rumors.
Unfortunately, what started as a rumor was proved to be the truth and this was authenticated by his suicide note.
Found on his note was a thoughtful type note who’s context suggested it was written to someone dear to him (his lover).
Excerpts from the note read: “…Life is a fun party but when you find it boring, leave." This has evoked several comments from people on Twitter regarding mental health (depression) and how that subject matter is being taken with levity and not spoken about in this part of the world (Africa).
"May Nemesis Catch Up with You!" - Tacha BBN to Cyberbullies & Trolls
Sequel to this, ex BBN housemate, Tacha had taken to her Twitter handle to drop some words for Cyberbullies and Trolls who were swift in dropping condolence messages online.
Recall that Tacha was trolled by some members of the bitter leaf FC on Twitter when she got a ‘following’ from popular American singer, Nicki Minaj, last week.
In her note, to Trolls she said, “Can’t believe Cyberbullies and Trolls are typing RIP Dele but it won’t even take till morning and your clown asses will be in the comment section wishing people you don’t like death!! Be kind with your words!!! Depression is real!!!!
She added, " If you go around wishing people death, may nemesis catch up with you!"
You go around wishing death on people, people struggling through life, People bottling themselves up!

People only trying to survive, people who just wants a better life for themselves! all for a SHOW! A show you don’t make coins from!
May NEMESES CATCH UP WITH YOU! https://t.co/QDcj9bLf7i
In the concluding part of her note to Trolls, Tacha had asked if Cyberbullies get paid for their hate and she promised to double their pay."
Truly, mental health isn’t a topic spoken about well enough in Africa, Nigeria especially and as a result, many are slipping into depression daily with no one to talk to about it. Sadly, only a few depressed ones make it out alive.
While we send our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased, we urge you to be kind with your words.
On a lighter note, this is violence loading from the Titans as Tacha’s note has called for one.
Who is bold enough to dare Tacha in the coming days?
Is Tacha or the Titans going to come at anyone who dares to troll her?
Fingers crossed!
