Just In: Popular Actress Of The Johnsons, Ada Ameh, Is Dead

Popular actress, Ada Ameh is dead.

According to reports, she died in Warri, Delta State around 11 pm on Sunday, a source who pleaded anonymity said on Monday morning.

Ameh was said to have been a guest of an oil company toyshop and his family when she suddenly collapsed.

The actress was hard hit two years ago when she lost her only daughter, Aladi.

She would later share the anguish of losing her daughter and other family members in a TV programme.

Speaking on the programme, Your View on TVC, Ada opened up more about the tragedies she’s experienced in the last few years, as well as advice she gives to anybody going through it right now.

“I’ve been depressed for some years and it became worse when I lost my daughter in 2020.

“Sometimes I wake up and you know, we (me and my daughter) practically grew up together, I was 14 when I had her. So she was more like my younger sister. She was my friend, she was my best friend.

“I just saw my world crumble before me. I’d lost three of my sisters before that time and each of them had three children. I’d lost like three of my brothers and my father.

“So after burying all these people then my daughter. Hmm.

“After my younger sister died in 2018, I thought I was going to be the next. But when my daughter died, my world crumbled before me.

“Sometimes I see myself, I could cry for days. I’ve been in and out of hospitals.”

Asked if her pain will be an opportunity for her to help others, Ada responded: “Definitely. I get direct messages almost everyday. Some people say they want to commit suicide and I ask them why.

“After burying seven family members and my daughter joined, became the eighth of them, do you know what that means? I died a thousand times.

“So if I see anybody that is going through it, one of the advice I would give to them is to first talk to a doctor. Get professional help.

“I used to go to Calabar before now because you know Nigeria we’re very funny. When you say mental issue, they just assume that you’re running mad. It could be schizophrenia, it could be depression, and it could be anything.

“So I used to leave Lagos to Calabar to get medical attention until recently we got a doctor in Lagos. It was very messy, it was very bad. God just helped me.”
