with Punch.
She said: “ There were a lot of things that were wrong with me and led to my depression. I was angry , broke , people lied against me and they were also using my name to lie. I was deceived by the people I loved.
I was seriously broke at the time and I had lots of responsibilities.
“ There were many charity projects I was involved in and I was doing everything with my money. Everything just got to me at the same time and I felt fed up. I
wanted to kill myself because there was nobody to help me. It happened two years ago and it also occurred last year. I thank God I did not kill myself because I realised that nothing is worth it . I was
upset with myself when I got back to my senses because the people you want to kill yourself for do not really care about you. It was a terrible phase in my life , ”
When asked why her boyfriend could not help her out, Halima said he compounded her case instead of helping out .She said,
“ He was not helping matters. I wanted somebody that would listen and not say that I was lying or exaggerating the extent of what I was going through.
Whenever I tell him I am sad, he wants to give me money but it is not all about money all the time.
“ Yes , I said I was broke but it was not only about money. I was broken
emotionally. If there is no hope, I feel I am broken. I needed a listening ear. The definition of broke is relative but Nigerians think it is only about money.
Money was also involved. The first major problem I had was money; then I was also emotionally broken, ”
