We knew it was hard but we were always pulling through.
This is so heartbreaking. Men go through a lot of pain and unfortunately we internalize the struggles so we don’t bother others. 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. ????????????
Going through tunde’s TL, while he was in need badly, he was still praying and encouraging other people in the same situation. Rest well tunde.

People only pretend to care when you are dead, no one pays attention when you need help.
