Nollywood actor and singer Ayoola Ayoola recently spoke out about his past suicide attempt.
The actor revealed that he felt depressed and considered ending his life when he found out he was going to be a father unexpectedly.
Ayoola admitted that he wasn’t mentally prepared to become a father at that time.
However, reflecting on his son now, he expressed regret for his decision.
During an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Ayoola opened up about his struggles and how he has come to see things differently.
He said, “The time the pregnancy for my son came, I wasn’t prepared to be a father. I got depressed and almost took my life. I deliberately miscalculated while crossing the road so that I would be hit and the car just brushed me.
“I look at my son now and I’m like, ‘This is what I was about to miss? This is whose live I was about to destroy?’ This little boy would have been fatherless.”
