Ricky, a housemate on Big Brother Naija Season 11, has opened up about a challenging time in his life, disclosing that he left college in his last year because of extreme stress.
During a discussion with other housemates, the writer and filmmaker revealed that the pressure he was under at the time was too much for him to bear.
Ricky claimed that despite being on the verge of earning his degree, he decided to drop out of college due to the emotional and psychological strain of the circumstance.
Thinking back to that time, the reality TV personality said he frequently empathise with those who claim they would never commit suicide, remembering that he had experienced something similar during his own trying time.
Viewers’ discussions about academic pressure, mental health, and the value of getting help when stress gets too much have been triggered by his revelation.
When they say, ‘I can’t kill myself,’ that is me. I dropped out of university in my final year because it was stressing me out. I was going to watch movies.”
