Nigerian television host Morayo Afolabi-Brown has revealed her battle with depression and suicidal thoughts.
In an emotional interview with Chude, the former Your View presenter spoke candidly about her struggles. She stepped down from TVC’s flagship talk show after 12 years.
Afolabi-Brown admitted she felt stuck in her career, which led to feelings of sadness and despair. She revealed she had considered leaving the show long before making the decision but struggled to find the right path forward.
“I was depressed. At a point, I was suicidal. I walked on the express, hoping a car would hit me. It was that bad,” she confessed.
She added that the turning point came last year, after TVC marked its tenth anniversary.
“It was when we were ten years that I knew it was time to move on. I had harbored that thought for a while but didn’t know how to go about it. Last year, I got that light-bulb moment,” she explained.
Her story sheds light on the mental health struggles many professionals face, even in successful careers.
