In a shocking revelation, Ghanaian comic actor known as 'Lawyer Nti', who became popular for his role in the TV series ‘Kejetia vs Makola,’ has opened up about his struggles with depression and his desperate attempts to seek help from a ritualist at some point.
The actor, real name Richmond Xavier Amoakoh, disclosed that the decision to consult a ritualist was made at crucial period when he was very depressed.
Beyond his jovial façade, 'Lawyer Nti' said he harboured a deep sense of stagnation and frustration in his life due to ambitious targets he set for himself which he was consistently failing to achieve.
“It all boils down to depression. I was always thinking. At that time I thought where I had gotten to, I needed to progress. I had certain material things I expected to have but they did not come to pass despite my fame,” he said.
Consequently, 'Lawyer Nti' said he was forced to move from one spiritualist to another and he eventually ended up in the den of a ritualist.
“In life, when you need something and realise it is beyond human reach, you go a step further. I resorted to visiting a ritualist, seeking some form of intervention to change my fortunes. I realised I wasn’t looking for money, I just needed to connect to my inner self and God, but before I made the realisation, I ‘walked’ a little,” he confessed.
When asked in an interview on Okay FM if he visited Mallams and ritualists, 'Lawyer Nti' retorted, “yes, something like that. It was just one or two.”
He becomes one of the many celebrities who have had their fair share of depression, regardless of their social status and achievements.
