By Aminu Mohammed

Betty Irabor, a Nigerian columnist and CEO of Genevieve Magazine, has admitted that she once attempted suicide.

Okay Nigeria learned that the writer disclosed this through her Twitter handle on Sunday.

She tweeted:

“At the time I attempted suicide , I was sick and in pain. There was a volcano somewhere inside of me that needed to erupt and suicide seemed like an option to avoid the eruption.Don’t trivialize anyone’s pain just because it’s not physical and you cannot see it.”
