Omogaji on Wednesday, January 2, reportedly drank an insecticide known as ‘Sniper’, over alleged marital issues with his wife.

However, Kaffy in an Instagram post, dished out ways to tackle depression as she was a onetime victim.

“Please do not be pressured. A lot is a lie. A lot is a manifestation of what they want to be. A lot is from insecurities. A lot is from depression not all smiley faces are happy faces.

“Depression is real too many lives lost.

“I faced depression I battled it and I won. You can win. First thing to do is not to let people define your happiness. We all have our races, our paths are different, first to do no mean last man standing o. If anyone run past you, do better than you or have anything you want and don’t have , just wave and say I will catch up, see ya later.

“Your process is important don’t be in a hurry if u do you would lose the ammunition, the instruments you need to sustain the greatness.”
