Popular Nigerian On-Air-Personality, Toke Makinwa has revealed why she almost took her life early this year, Igbere TV reports.

Speaking on Tayemesan’s Tea with Tay Podcast, Toke Makinwa said she felt empty within which made her overwhelmed and hence decided to end her life.

In her words:

“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!

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.

It was just feeling like, life hasn’t gotten this good, it has now gotten this good. Don’t wait for it to turn again. It’s okay. You’ve done it all. You’ve built a brand from the scratch, you’ve inspired so many people to start on their journey, you can bow out now. Even if it’s to go and shine shoes in heaven, just go and be shining the master’s shoes.

There are so many things that you have to live for but it was just a mindset that I didn’t know – and again, it’s one of those things I tell people now, when the devil knows he cannot steal your destiny, he attacks your mind.

Because once he attacks your mind, I mean, if he attacked my finances maybe I’ll be down a bit, I go hustle small, maybe money goes still soon come back. If he attacks my marriage, ok maybe you can find another man you can marry. If he attacks your health maybe you can feel better, you can pray, you can fast. But if he ceases your mind, that is the seat of everything.”

Go and give birth, the moment you have a baby all suicidal thoughts will disappear forever! Now you have something to live for.

suicide is not an option

Hmmmmmm even with all the money and fame ... Greatness is a burden, look beyond the attraction and praises of men and focus on who you are becoming and who called you. The Lord becomes and will remain my focus and gaze in life.

This woman that made everyone to turn off watching Gilder Ultimate Search.

I don't encourage anyone to commit suicide but the earth will continue to spin if she was not here.

Mtchewww.

shut up mumu

Hm. That is why it's good to be in Christ for its only in him you'll find joy and fufilment.

Nothing Iin this life gives fulfillment except Christ and the power of his love. Even Solomon couldn't find fulfillment in all his wealth. Reason he said all is vanity.

Better don't kill yourself because you won't even make it to heaven talk more of shining shoes as murder is a sin and dying in sin would make you miss heaven.
