Renowned music producer and singer, professionally identified as ID Cabasa (Olumide Ogunade), has voiced his apprehension about Nigeria nurturing a generation grappling with depression.
Cabasa took to his social media platform to express his concerns regarding the mental well-being of Nigerian youths.
Drawing attention to the widespread prevalence of depression and the increasing reliance on narcotics among the younger population, Cabasa emphasized the alarming prospect of the nation potentially losing an entire generation to these twin afflictions.
In his statement, he remarked, “We are raising a generation of depressed people who are addicted to drugs.
“During the COVID-19, we took care of a depressed top artiste who was seriously addicted to drugs.”
