I Was Depressed For One Year After My Divorce – Maje Ayida

Maje Ayida

Ex-husband of media personality Toke Makinwa, Maje Ayida, has come out to share how their dramatic divorce pushed him into depression and almost ruined his career.

He recently had his say while sharing a testimony at a UK church, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the entire situation actually made him want to remain in bed all day because he concluded that the entire nation hated him at that point, and the depression he eventually fell into actually lasted for a full year.

He added that his turning point happened after he made the bold decision to accept his faults, face his reality, and turn his life around.

His words, “I went through a divorce that was very publicised… and that left me feeling very alone. I was really ashamed of my situation… I went into hiding.

I lost the essence to even get up in the morning… what am I getting up for? Everyone already feels a certain way about me.

What’s sleep? I didn’t even know what that was. I had insomnia. The noise around me even though I was in silence was insane.

I eventually took the blame on myself… it made me feel worse at first but eventually helped me take practical steps.”

WOW.
