Nigerian actor Timini Egbuson has weighed in on the ongoing conversation around money, depression, and happiness, stating that financial wealth does not automatically translate to emotional wellbeing.
The Nollywood star made the comment while reacting to a viral post on X that suggested people struggling with depression would overcome it if they earned a substantial amount of money.
The post, which sparked widespread debate online, claimed that individuals battling depression simply needed financial relief, using a figure of N20 million as an example.
Responding to the claim, Egbuson dismissed the idea that money is a universal cure for depression.
“It’s not always about money sha,” he wrote.
His comment quickly gained traction, prompting broader discussions about the root causes of depression beyond financial hardship.
While some users agreed with the actor, arguing that financial stability can significantly improve mental wellbeing, others maintained that depression can also stem from grief, anxiety, trauma, and other personal experiences that money alone cannot fix.
The debate highlights the ongoing tension in public discourse around mental health in Nigeria, where economic challenges are often closely linked to emotional stress, but not always the sole factor.
Egbuson’s remark adds to his history of engaging in social conversations online, as he continues to share opinions on lifestyle, relationships, and personal growth.
