“It’s not always about money sha”- Timini Egbuson On Mental Health

Famous Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has shared his thoughts on the connection between wealth, depression, and happiness, noting that money does not automatically solve emotional struggles.

The movie star disagreed with the popular belief that financial gain can completely eliminate depression, stressing that even wealthy individuals can still experience mental health challenges.

His comments came in response to a viral post on X (formerly Twitter) which suggested that people dealing with depression would feel better if they simply had more money. The post read: “You’re not depressed, you need 20 million naira.”

Reacting to the statement, Egbuson dismissed the idea, saying, “It’s not always about money sha.”

His remark sparked wider conversations online about the root causes of depression beyond financial hardship. Many users agreed that emotional pain can also stem from issues such as loss, anxiety, and personal trauma, not just poverty.

However, others argued that financial struggles remain a major factor in depression for many people, insisting that solving money-related problems could significantly improve mental well-being.
