Ayoola Ayoola, a renowned figure in Nollywood as an actor and singer, has shared the story of his suicide attempt.

The actor from ‘The Men’s Club’ opened up about his struggle with depression and thoughts of ending his life when faced with an unexpected pregnancy he felt unprepared for.

Recalling the dark moment, he admitted to contemplating suicide, even going as far as intentionally placing himself in danger, but ultimately surviving.

Reflecting on the experience in a heartfelt interview with Chude Jideonwo, Ayoola expressed deep regret, acknowledging the joy his son brings him now and the gravity of the potential loss he narrowly avoided.

He confessed, “At the time of my son’s pregnancy, I wasn’t ready to embrace fatherhood. I spiraled into depression, nearly succumbing to despair.

I even manipulated situations, hoping for an end. Yet, as I gaze upon my son today, I realize the immense blessing I narrowly missed. This precious child could have grown up without a father.”
