Eva Alordiah narrates her battle with depression

Nigerian rapper, Eva Alordiah has narrated her battle with depression and how she was able to overcome it.

Eva Alordiah took to her Twitter page on Saturday, March 20 to share her experience with depression and how she overcame it by going into online content creation.

The ‘War Coming’ rapper noted that she felt excited to learn how to make money outside being a music artist.

The 31-year-old rapper and make-up artist also revealed that she made N17 million within 9 months on Instagram, adding that she rejected the offer of a N100,000 performance during that period.

The female emcee added that she feels better to know that she no longer needs to depend on her music to survive.

Eva also said that she is learning how to rap again after the hiatus.

Read her full thread below:

3 years ago I was broke, depressed and pissed off with my existence.

I stood in front of my mirror one day and broke down crying.

As a matter of fact, I felt like I was living a lie —I no longer knew who I was & I was going through one of the most painful Ego deaths I had ever experienced.”

Eva Alordiah revealed in the latter part of her narration that she felt lost in her journey.

As a matter of fact, she said she cursed out to God.

She continued;

“I remember yelling at God saying —“What the fuck!

What the fuck do you want me to do.

Show yourself dammeeet!” —- I think about it now.

Stupid. Talented, Broke, Depressed and tired of Life.

Not a good combination to have.”

Through many days of journaling & communing with myself, I began to learn about IDENTITY and the Ego.

And how I had become Identified with what I did (Rapper). It was tough for me to be anything else but that, and that pissed me off even more. I wanted to be done with it.”
