Who was Lazy Writa?
Lazy Writa, born Anderson ‘Anda’ Damisa, was a popular Nigerian influencer and poet, known for sharing lifestyle content and brand partnerships.
His career was headed on a positive trajectory as he had recently shared posts with prominent Nigerians, including the Governor of Lagos state, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, in October.
He was also a renowned poet who published a poetry collection called A Lazy Poet in 2019.
Despite his success, the popular personality battled mental health challenges, and sometimes went off social media, sparking concern among friends.
"It got to a time everything felt too loud and I just couldn’t keep up anymore. The things that used to bring me joy started to feel heavy, and even the simplest moments lost their spark," he wrote in a November 10 post explaining his 'ghosting' periods.
"So I stepped away, to breathe, to remember who I was beneath all the noise. I took a pause long enough to feel alive again. Slowly, I am finding pieces of myself again, in small joys, in honest conversations, and most especially in the quiet moments."
