She wrote about his death in her X handle thus:

“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.”

In an earlier tweet, January 31, 2025, late Joseph reportedly wrote:

“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.

He was to reiterate March 24, when he ended it all:  “I’m sorry I failed you guys, I couldn’t just do it anymore… No matter how I explain it. You won’t understand!!!.

There is no doubt that the economic hardship in the country is biting hard. Many say they have stopped forthwith, capital projects, prioritising feeding until things ease.
