BBNaija housemate, Angel who was the
first female housemate to be unveiled in
the show has opened up on her battle
with mental health and how she started
self-harming at the age of 14.
It was an emotional revelation as
housemates rushed to give her support.
Angel and the other housemates gathered
at the lounge to share a bit about
themselves after the ladies joined the
house last night.
While speaking, Angel disclosed she
started self-harming herself at the age of
14 as she battled depression which
emanated from her high school’s high
academic expectations.
”I started out Education wise.. I graduated
from Best Highschool, Merywood. Further
down to University. I started out at the
University of Lagos UNILAG. I was there
for like two weeks. I didn’t go for any
lectures because it wasn’t my vibe. I went
to a really secluded high school so getting
into UNILAG was kind of hard for me so I
dropped out from there.
I didn’t tell my
parents. My mum doesn’t live in Nigeria.
My mum came back, she found out so
she put me in a foundation school to go
to London. I went to a foundation
programme for Mass Communication but
I dipped again because I realized that I
didn’t even know what I wanted to do and
everything. So basically, I have been
cruising through life because I had like a
whole mental health thing.
The reason why I wasn’t into school was
because of how hard it was in Merywood
because our A was like sixty nine and our
F was sixty one, so that was really hard
for me, and because I live with my granny
because my mum doesn’t stay in Nigeria,
whatever I was doing wasn’t really enough
for her so there was some form of
pressure.
Then I started self-harming. When I was
14, I started self-harming. I guess I was
depressed and everything. My mates have
graduated now and I guess that is why I
auditioned for Big Brother because it felt
like everybody had figured out what they
wanted to do except me so during the
cause of me auditioning and me getting in
and me making progress, I moved from a
place where I felt I wasn’t sufficient to
now feeling…” she said
