How ‘unwanted pregnancy’ almost made me end my life – Actor Ayoola

Nigerian actor and singer, Ayoola Ayolola has recalled when he almost took his own life due to the fear of premature fatherhood.

The ‘The Men’s Club’ star said when he was informed that he was to have a baby, he immediately felt depressed and contemplated committing sxicide.

Ayoola, who spoke in an exclusive interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, said he wasn’t prepared to be a father at the time.

He recounted how he tried causing an accident by crossing the road mindlessly so that he will get knocked down by a vehicle, but he was lucky to have only been brushed.

Reflecting on his past, Ayoola said looking at his son now he realised he would have deprived the boy of a dad and deeply regretted his action.

He said; “The time the pregnancy for my son came, I wasn’t prepared to be a father. I got depressed and almost took my life. I deliberately miscalculated while crossing the road so that I would be hit and the car just brushed me.

“I look at my son now and I’m like, ‘This is what I was about to miss? This is whose live I was about to destroy?’ This little boy would have been fatherless.”
