Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has shared his thoughts on depression and the pursuit of happiness, sparking renewed conversations around mental health and money.
The actor, who took to his X (formerly Twitter) account, pushed back against the widely held belief that financial success automatically resolves emotional or psychological struggles.
Responding to a post that suggested money could fix depression, Timini highlighted that emotional well-being is far more complex than wealth alone.
“You’re not depressed, you need 20 million naira,” an X user wrote.
“It’s not always about money sha,” he responded.
His remarks quickly gained attention online, with many users weighing in on the realities of depression and mental health challenges. While some agreed with his perspective, others shared that depression can stem from deeper issues such as grief, anxiety, trauma, and personal loss—factors that money alone cannot resolve.
The discussion adds to ongoing public conversations in Nigeria about mental health awareness, a topic that continues to gain visibility as more celebrities and public figures speak openly about emotional struggles and well-being.
