In a striking twist of events, popular cryptocurrency influencer and Twitter user, Gaius Chibueze, known as “Bitcoin Chief,” who openly mocked the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari, has reportedly lost his father on Monday morning, July 14, 2025.
Chibueze, who tweeted harsh words following Buhari’s passing, had stated:
“Buhari was a very Terrible President. We must not pretend now!
May his Soul get what he did to NIGERIA!”

This tweet, which gained over 18,000 views, stirred mixed reactions online, with many calling it distasteful and disrespectful to the dead. However, less than 48 hours later, news emerged that Chibueze himself is mourning the death of his own father.
Social media users have since flooded his comment section with reactions, some referencing his earlier post, suggesting this could be a moment of reflection or irony.
As of now, Chibueze has not made any official post announcing his father’s passing, but credible sources and users close to him have confirmed the news.
The development has sparked a broader conversation about how Nigerians express grief and criticisms online, especially concerning public figures, even in death.
