“How I got introduced to drugs” – Toyin Abraham

Toyin Abraham, a renowned Nollywood actress, recently shared her personal journey in overcoming challenges during an interview with BBC News Yoruba.

Reflecting on a difficult period in her life following the end of her marriage with actor Adeniyi Johnson, Toyin opened up about being introduced to healthier coping mechanisms that helped her navigate through her pain and sadness.

“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 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.”
