Nigerian television host, Morayo Afolabi-Brown, has revealed her personal struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts during her time as host of TVC’s Your View.
Morayo Afolabi-Brown, who recently stepped down from the role after 12 years, made the disclosure in a candid interview with media personality Chude. She explained that she fell into depression because she felt stuck in her job and uncertain about her next move.
“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 admitted.
According to her, the turning point came after the show marked its 10th anniversary, when she realized it was time to move on.
“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.
Brown emphasized that the decision to resign was necessary for her growth and mental well-being.
