Cross, one of the housemates in the ongoing reality TV show,
Big Brother Naija, popularly known as BBNaija, has revealed that he attempted
taking his own life twice before joining the show.
He made this known on Friday during a diary session with Big
Brother.
Cross, who was speaking on a task by Big Brother titled
“Mental health” for presentation in subsequent show, urged the Nigerian health
sector to take the issue of mental health seriously as a means of alleviating
suicide attempts.
The housemate blamed Nigerian parents for not being serious
about their children’s mental health, expressing hope of doing his best when he
becomes a father.
He said, “I have attempted to commit suicide twice but at
the end of the day, I survived it.
“I think we need physicians in this country to be serious
about the issue. Our parents are not really doing enough regarding talking to
children to diagnose their mental health.
“I will be a father one day, maybe one or two years to come
but I just hope that I give my children the best”.
