Following the tragic death of fast rising Nollywood actress Jumoke Aderounmu a few days ago, Nollywood actor Jamiu Azeez has cried out to his fans and other colleagues that he has suffering from depression.

 

The vibrant actor shared the post of the conversation he had with Toyin Abraham when he opened up about his recent state of mind.

 

Jamiu Azeez disclosed that he has been depressed for over two years but dying in silence due to the fear of the public’s reactions.

 

He claimed that nothing has been working for him and he felt lost and unsure of who to confide in but got tired of putting a brave front along the line.

 

Speaking of his confidence, he shared Toyin Abraham’s reaction to his cry and expressed gratitude for the way she handled his confession.

 

“Mummy Ire, @toyin_abraham, I know this might catch you off guard, but I simply had to do this. You over looked the fact that we dont really talk but you shown me so much love and gives me an assurance that everything is going to be fine

 

The past two years have been a whirlwind for me like I’ve been losing everything, even my Mind. Thoughts of “Suicide” have been ringing in my head.

 

The fear of being mocked kept me silent. Nothing seemed to work, and I felt lost, unsure of who to confide in.

 

But the truth is, I grew tired of putting on a brave face and pretending to be okay.

 

So, yesterday, I mustered the courage to reach out to @toyin_abraham, and her response left me speechless. I feel compelled to express my deepest gratitude openly.

 

I’ve prayed for her countless times, but now I ask for your prayers too, please help me pray for @toyin_abraham and her family.”
