Loneliness Once Made Me Ask A Man Out, Contemplate Suicide – Rashidat Anjorin

Nollywood actress Rashidat Anjorin, popularly known as Indomie, has spoken about a difficult period in her life when loneliness deeply affected her emotional well-being.

Speaking on the “Talk to B” podcast, Rashidat Anjorin said there was a time when isolation became overwhelming and left her struggling emotionally, an experience she described as one of the toughest challenges she has ever faced.

She explained that loneliness can have a serious impact on a person’s life, adding that she once went through a period of intense emotional distress and wanted to “end it”.

The actress revealed that her desire for companionship became so strong that she approached a man herself, something she said she had never done before.

“Being alone is a disease except for those who don’t know. I was so depressed that for three days I was missing and nowhere to be found. I wanted to end it all,” she said.

“I made a move towards a man, something I had never done before. My shop is down there. I do hair and pedicures. I didn’t know what to say. I think the guy suspected that I wanted to have sex with him.”

Reflecting on her experiences, the actress said she has come to appreciate the importance of having supportive people around, stressing that relationships and companionship are not solely about financial gain.

“When someone dies, it takes six people to carry the coffin. If those six people are in your life to support your progress, then you understand why companionship matters. Everything is not about money,” she said.

Anjorin also shared some of the difficulties she faced before achieving stability in her career, including a troubling incident in which money was stolen from her, and she ended up being detained by the police despite being the victim.

“It was my money they stole, and it was me that was kept in the cell,” she recalled.

The filmmaker expressed gratitude to several individuals who supported her during those challenging years, particularly actress Funke Akindele.

“Aunty Funke gave me money to go and buy those things. I went to Abeokuta to get my pots, and I started making sales. Once I start cooking the noodles, everyone will start buying,” she said.

“I am using this opportunity to appreciate Funke Akindele, Taiwo Adebayo, Sodiq Adebayo and Blackman. I salute them. They helped me. I can say they helped my career because being known as Indomie in this industry, God used them for me.”
