Famous Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham describes how she was introduced to drugs when her marriage to actor Adeniyi Johnson came to an end.
The legendary actress recalled how a close female friend introduced her to drugs in a recent interview with BBC News Yoruba.
According to Toyin Abraham, she started using drugs because she thought they would help her escape her issues and lessen the anguish brought on by her grief.
The “Ijakumo” actress admitted that being born into a religious family was a very embarrassing experience for her.
As she put it;
“I have done some certain things that are not really my fault because I came from a Christian home.
“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.
“I didn’t plan for a broken marriage. But when it happened, I was emotionally carried away.
“Those things were empowering my negative energy. Sometimes even when I do some positive things it would just end up being negative. So I had to stop.
“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.”
