Famous Nollywood actor, Timini Egbuson, has shared his opinion on the relationship between money, depression and happiness.
The movie star said, contrary to the popular claim that money ends depression, money does not always guarantee happiness.
Egbuson pointed out that even rich people can still be depressed.
He stated this while addressing a viral post on X, which claimed that those battling depression would be free if they had enough money.
“You’re not depressed, you need 20 million naira,” an X user claimed in a now-viral post.
Reacting, Egbuson said, “It’s not always about money sha.”
His reaction sparked a deeper reflection on other causes of depression aside from lack and poverty, with many agreeing that money can’t cure depression stemming from the loss of a loved one, anxiety, and other natural incidents.
However, some argued that the major cause of depression is a lack of money, claiming that a lot of people would be free from it if they had money to solve their financial problems.
