A Nigerian man recently surprised social media users by claiming that he actually “died” ten years ago but is currently in Lagos, where he says he’s making a living.
The peculiar message, which quickly gained traction on X (formerly Twitter), was posted anonymously. According to his statement, despite being “dead” for a decade, he now works in Lagos. He even hinted that there are others like him around, saying, “When I see another ‘dead person’ who’s alive, we recognize each other; there are quite a few of us here, even on Twitter.”
The unusual claim has sparked widespread reactions, with users flooding the comments to express their curiosity, amusement, and disbelief.
Some of the reactions included:
@teeteelaryor15: “You died… woke up… and chose Nigeria as your destination? You didn’t try at all.”
@OG_Horlar: “Please, Mr./Mrs. Dead, let’s talk—I have questions.”
@ZainabOyewale3: “Wow, humans are really something else.”
@LukmanNofiu: “What’s this again? This country just has unlimited data…”
@AgudaKay: “Dear ‘dead’ returnee, what’s so special about coming back to Nigeria? Is there something we’re missing?”
@Kegedi_: “Please ask that person to show us some of their kind here on this app—I have questions.”
The post has become a topic of lively discussion, as people react to this bizarre and mysterious story.
