He denied that a woman was to blame for his depression.

He revealed:

“I had set ambitious goals for myself, and when I couldn’t attain them, I began questioning my worth. It was a time of profound self-reflection, where I confronted my limitations and grappled with feelings of insignificance”.

Lawyer Nti admitted to seeking guidance from one or two ritualists in his search for answers and a breakthrough.

He went on to say that despite his encounter with the ritualist, he realized that only God could provide him with the assistance he needed.

He stated:

“I learned that genuine help comes from God, and if something is not meant for you, no external force can make it happen. It is through faith, self-reflection, and seeking the right sources of support that we can find our way forward”.
