Nigerians have raised concern on social media about Nollywood actress-turned-politician Funke Akindele, who recently shared a depression message.
Concern emerged as Funke expressed an emotional take on the reality of depression and the importance of being kind to others in a tweet on Wednesday.
The Jenifa actress tweeted: “Depression is real. Please be kind to others. Yes, don’t trade your happiness with anything, but still, be humane in all you do. We are all on a journey in this world. Be conscious. Be aware. Share. Make peace. Take risks and be grateful for success and victory. Yet be aware, love, forgive, and stay happy.”
Many fans expressed concern about Funke’s remark in the comments section, asking if she was okay.
Below are some of their tweets:
@DikeKelechi6: “I’m sending healing to everyone going through difficult times. May your burden be lessened in Christ’s name. Amen.”
@Omotolanidowu: “Many are going through a lot but don’t have the right people on their end to spill it out to, if you’re that person, please take a deep breath and say to yourself everything is going to be fine. Go out and refresh your memories. Life is too short. Please move on.”
@abayomiibitunde: Hope you are doing fine, Funke? Please be fine. Be free to discuss with trustworthy folks if you need to unburden. Be fine.”
@dreychino: “Big mummy. I hope you are fine. We need you to be strong for us! Keep loving you ma.”
