The Average Nigerian Woman and Depression


There common Nigerian saying "What Will People Say" #WWPS has almost gotten some people killed.

I remember an argument I had with my Ex-Husband before my wedding and I really knew I should have called the whole thing off. I was counselled at the time and #WWPS came up so many times I gave in after considering expenses, parents feelings and the "embarrassment" at the time.

Let's just say I have paid the price and have a right to be sad about my mistakes. People keep telling me to get over it as if I can just lock up my thoughts in a box and throw it away. 

Do you people want to kill me?

Wait I have a right to be sad, is it your depression or sadness? (leave me alone)

Some days all I want is a hug, to be held and to feel sheltered and loved but sadly there's no love for now so I continue my sojourn, alone, sad but strong enough to move forward.

To be Continued.
