Ghanaian comedian Funny Face, has sent across an emotional warning to Ghanaian youth, advising them to stay away from drugs as they can be their undoing.
He shared the story of how the use of illicit drugs almost destroyed his life in an interview.
In an exclusive interview with Metro TV, the comedian, opened up about his struggles with drug abuse, sharing how he thought drugs could help him deal with his problems, only to make them worse.
“Say no to drugs because when I went through challenges, I took some, and it didn’t help me! When you take drugs thinking it will ease your pain, it only makes things worse,” he confessed, his voice heavy with emotion.
Funny Face aside from his struggles with drugs, also went through an emotional turmoil. The comedian highlighted the importance of opening up about one’s feelings with others. He added that it is dangerous for one to bottle up their emotions, and advised men especially to be open about how they feel.
“I didn’t talk to people. I kept everything inside, and that nearly destroyed me. For a broken heart, I’m a living testimony that it almost finished me,” he shared.
He revealed his counterparts in the creative scene who regularly rely on drugs as a coping mechanism.
“Most creatives, I’ll tell them to stay away from drugs. When you’re going through something, talk to somebody! Don’t make the mistake I made,” he pleaded.
“”If you’re struggling, don’t turn to drugs! Seek help, talk to someone, and fight for your life before it’s too late!” he added.
