Nigerian television host, Morayo Afolabi-Brown, has opened up about her struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts.
Brown, who recently resigned as host of TVC’s Your View after 12 years, disclosed in a candid interview with Chude that she became depressed because she felt stuck in her job.
She explained that she had long harboured thoughts of quitting and moving to the next level, but did not know how to go about it until last year, when she began to gain clarity.
“I was depressed. At a point, I was suicidal. I walked on the express, hoping a car would hit me. It was that bad.
“It was when we [TVC] were ten years that I knew that it was time [for me] to go to the next thing. I have been harbouring that thought for a while but I didn’t know how to go about it. But last year, I got that light-bulb moment,” she explained.
