By her confession, Ada Ameh said she battled depression after losing her daughter, Aladi Godgift (in featured photo above), six siblings. Sadly, however, the actress, known in the popular family soap, The Johnsons”, as Emu Johnson has passed on.
Yet-to-be confirmed media reports said the 48 years old actress was visiting a family in Warri, Delta State, on Sunday around when she suddenly collapsed in the night.
She was rushed to a hospital, but did not make it.
Two weeks ago on a television programme, she had said: “I have depression, I have been depressed for some years and it became very worse when I lost my daughter in 2020. I was 14 when I had her, she was my best friend, and sister, I just saw my world crumbling down before me…
“I had lost three of my sisters, three of my brothers and my family. I thought I was going to be next when my younger sister died and I have been in and out of the hospital.”
She advised those battling mental health issues to seek professional help or talk to doctors, adding: “I get DMS from people who want to commit suicide. Talk to a doctor, and get professional help. I used to leave Lagos to Calabar to get a doctor until I found one in Lagos.”
