Nollywood actress, Toyin Abraham in a recent interview with
Broadway TV indicated that she would take another shot at marriage and
have her own children.
During the 12-minute interview, which was published online, the
actress talked about her failed marriage to Adeniyi Johnson, addiction
to hard drugs, emotional health, past mistakes and career.
Asked why she had changed so much within the last few months, Toyin
said she had to work on herself, quit her drug habit and redefine her
relationship with other people.
The actress admitted that, having suffered a lot of bad publicity
in the past, she had to search for a solution to her problems by looking
inwards. The search led to the discovery that she loathed herself. “At
a point, I realised that I didn’t love myself enough and I wanted the
people around me to love me. Also, I found that all the while I chose to
please other people before pleasing myself. And I was focusing on the
things that did not matter,” she said.
Toyin said that she never planned to have a broken home. She
confessed that after her marriage to Johnson broke up, she found herself
slipping into depression.
“I was emotionally carried away and could not wait to recover
completely from the breakup before jumping into another relationship. I
wanted to be healed and I thought that going into another relationship
would help,” she said
But the actress refused to blame her ex-man or anybody else for the breakup.
“It takes two to tango. My ex-husband has his faults and I have mine. I
think we both brought our negative sides into the marriage and that was
why it just didn’t work,” she argued.
Toyin also admitted that drug addiction had a devastating effect on
her life and negatively influenced her actions so much that she lost
touch with the things that worked for her.
“These things were fuelling my negative energy. Even when I did something bad, it always ended up yielding negative results.”
