Nigerian television host, Morayo Afolabi-Brown, has opened up about her struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts.
Naija News reports that Morayo made this known in an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo.
Brown, who recently resigned as host of TVC’s ‘Your View’ after 12 years, disclosed she became depressed at some point because she felt stuck in her job.
According to Morayo, she had long harboured thoughts of quitting and moving to the next level, but did not know how to go about it until last year, when she began to gain clarity.
She said, “I was depressed. At a point, I was suicidal. I walked on the express, hoping a car would hit me. It was that bad.
“It was when we [TVC] were ten years that I knew that it was time [for me] to go to the next thing. I have been harbouring that thought for a while but I didn’t know how to go about it. But last year, I got that light-bulb moment.”
Meanwhile, Morayo recently fired back at critics attacking her for supporting President Bola Tinubu in the last presidential election.
Naija News recalls that Afolabi-Brown was attacked on Friday, July, 11, 2025, over her controversial post in which she urged Tinubu to consider handing over power to an unnamed politician.
She slammed the politician over what she described as his desperation for power, saying he should rule for six months so Nigerians can see the “magic” he claims he can perform.
Reacting to the backlash, the show host stated that she voted for Tinubu because he was her personal choice.
She stressed that every Nigerian has a right to make decisions without fear or harassment.
The mother of four made it clear that her support for the President was not influenced by any benefit or government reward.
