So I thought let me just have fun then I’ll just go home and end my life — Toke Makinwa reveals her suicidal point this year — {link} ======== Nigerian media personality and influencer, Toke Makinwa, has revealed that she was once suicidal sometime this year. The thespian revealed this during an interview with Tayemesan’s Tea With Tay podcast and disclosed that there was a time in her life when she considered taking her own life. She was asked: “We have had conversations about the times you were suicidal and it was so interesting that we didn’t know. All your friends, we had spoken to you that day, and you called me that you were suicidal and that (earlier), you were standing on the red carpet, you were glamorous but you just felt so empty…” Toke responded: “I remember the song that was even playing. It was Wizkid’s Ojuelegba and I was dancing and everybody in there did not know that a voice was saying just go home and pop it, that’s it. So I thought let me just have fun then I’ll just go home and end my life. It was that bad!” Then again she was asked: “And this is the same year you have had all these opportunities and everything has worked out for you. How were you feeling at that time?” To this she replied: “I mean it was one of those things that I didn’t know why I was feeling a lot of emptiness. Because on the outside I’m fabulous, I’m making money, have amazing friends but I just felt empty. I just felt like ‘just leave when the praise is the loudest. When the applause is the loudest, just bow out.”
