Depression: ‘I was dealing with deep issues’ — Omashola breaks silence

Omashola Oburoh, former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate, has broken his silence on his current condition.

On Friday, the reality star took to his Instagram page to share a video of himself looking

well and healthy — a far cry from his appearance in the past days.

Omashola also appreciated everyone who checked up on him while assuring his fans that he is getting better.

“I want to use this medium to thank everybody who checked up on me one way or the other,” he said.

“I’m overwhelmed by your love and support, and I sincerely appreciate it. I was dealing with some deep issues, but I am making headways and better now by God’s Grace. Thank You.”

Omashola was — in a now-viral video — seen looking unkempt and in the appearance of an insane person.

The reality star also appeared like a homeless man as he held a black nylon bag beside him while sitting on the pavement of a yet-to-be-identified street.

The video was shared online on Wednesday — a few days after the reality star had hinted that he may be battling depression.

On October 25, the reality star had revealed that he “is lonely in a world surrounded by people”. He had also said that he “is slowly reaching a breaking point”.

Omashola was one of the finalists of BBNaija season four. During his stint in the 2019 BBNaija show, he won the hearts of fans with his street-smartness and hyper-activeness.
