In a recent interview with BBC News Yoruba, renowned Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham revealed her struggle with drugs following the end of her marriage to actor Adeniyi Johnson.
Abraham recounted how a friend introduced her to drugs during this difficult period, convincing her that they would alleviate her problems and lessen her sadness. “I have done some certain things that are not really my fault because I came from a Christian home,” she said.
“When the problems started, some of my friends introduced me to drugs in such a way that I kept asking myself what led me to this,” Abraham continued. She admitted that she was emotionally carried away after her marriage ended.
The actress also shared how the drugs amplified her negative energy, leading to negative outcomes even when she attempted positive actions. “Those things were empowering my negative energy. Sometimes even when I do some positive things it would just end being negative. So I had to stop,” she explained.
In an effort to overcome her struggles, Abraham sought help and made changes in her social circle. “Then I sought help. And I also changed some friends and people around me. I tried to be positive and I had to deal with depression and drugs,” she said.
