Nigerian gospel singer Busola Oke<\/strong>, known as Eleyele, has addressed reports claiming she considered taking her own life.<\/p>\n Abia Radio News<\/strong> reports that during a conversation on the Talk To B Podcast, she explained that her recent live video on social media was fueled by frustration and emotional strain, not intentions to harm herself.<\/p>\n She described feeling isolated and drained, which led her to reach out to friends and followers for comfort.<\/p>\n Oke shared that her live session was meant to connect with people who cared about her. She noted that her aim was simply to feel supported, not to publicly expose her personal struggles.<\/p>\n The singer also revealed that she has faced ongoing challenges since 2020 but preferred to remain private, avoiding pity or public sympathy. She said her silence was intentional, as she values natural relationships and did not want her life to become a subject of charity.<\/p>\n She said: \u201cNo, I never said I was going to commit suicide. So, I think it was a misconception, a misinterpretation. I was on life, actually I was really frustrated, more frustrated. I just felt like, I was feeling like, I was feeling really strange. And I was feeling very lonely, as if I had nobody. There was nobody around me. I was just feeling exhausted. So, I just went to life.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cAnd I said, I was saying, is there anybody out there that cares about me? I just want to see people that loves me. And I started talking to my friends. They started reaching out. I said, please share this video and tag. Just show me you love me. I\u2019m here. These people started talking to me. I\u2019m so glad they\u2019re here for you and all that. They started sharing the video. And all of a sudden, I don\u2019t know what, somebody said. I never planned to expose myself. I\u2019ve always been someone that doesn\u2019t like to talk.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cSomeone that doesn\u2019t like to expose herself. I\u2019ve been going through days. I\u2019ve been going through so much since 2020. And I\u2019ve kept quiet for so long. Because I don\u2019t want, I don\u2019t like people treating me as a pity party. I want people to be natural around me. I don\u2019t like people treating me as a subject of a charity or something. That\u2019s why I don\u2019t want to go out. I don\u2019t want to tell people my story. So, that was why I kept quiet for this long.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nigerian gospel singer Busola Oke, known as Eleyele, has addressed reports claiming she considered taking her own life.
