A popular Nigerian comedian named Woli Arole has taken his Instagram handle to share what he did to celebrate world mental health day. According to him, he dressed like a man's man and went into the street of Lagos to beg for alms near a shoprite. Here is his experience.




"I went on the street of Lagos dressed like a “Mentally ill” person, I saw the reaction of a lot of people, some people gave me money, some ran away from me, a guy nearly slapped me, then I realized that a lot of people look down on the “Mentally challenged” in the society, which is not too good there’s more we can collectively do in love. Our psychiatrist hospitals should be looked more into by the government. Some people are not even dressed like this physically, they look good and okay but they are going through “Mental illness” which includes Clinical depression, Anxiety disorder and Bipolar disorder and a whole lots. Please let’s take our “Mental State” seriously."

He also added

" If you saw a “MENTALLY iLL” person around Shoprite yesterday, stopping cars, begging for alms, begging for food. That was “WOLI AROLE”. I am the image of a lot of people “Mental State”. Some people get dressed looking nice and go to work, some people look so beautiful but are “Mentally Unstable” This was just my own way of advocating, sensitizing and creating awareness for “Mental Health”."

cut him some slack.
I think what he did was very noble. SARs victims have people speaking out for them at least. Does it not break you when you see a pregnant mad woman? She wouldn't even be able to report the rape

Who cares?

Waao! The thing fit am sha. The madness doesn't even look artificial, e just be like 'follow come'!

Strong statement

Powerful message. But of course this wouldn't hit the frontpage. NL has lost it.

I overhead two mad Men discussing the other day, one of them said "o boy you see this Buhari regime go make us mad" i shock joke

madoo, you didn't mad well that mental day.

Onile golu.
