• Following Ayida’s confession, fans and netizens made several observations about the crashed marriage

Maje Ayida, a fitness and wellness entrepreneur and the ex-husband of Nollywood actress Toke Makinwa, has spoken out about his hurt following their high-profile divorce.

He claimed that he was subjected to public criticism and withdrew from society out of shame.

The gym guru revealed this when testifying at a UK church recently, in a video that has since gone viral on social media.

Ayida narrated how he overcame a year-long depression that caused him to stop working and miss business prospects after learning to accept responsibility.

He said in part:

He said, “I will be honest about the fact that I want through a divorce which resulted in me being depressed. It was a very publicised divorce.

“And that left me feeling very alone. I withdrew from society, I was really ashamed of my situation. Not just for myself, of course, my self-esteem was affected, but legacy is very important to me. I was ashamed of what I felt I had done to my family’s name. As a result, I went into hiding.

“I didn’t want to interact with anyone. I wanted to be alone, stay at home. I stopped going to work. I found it very difficult to work. It was very hard."

“I not only lose focus but also motivation. I lose the essence of to even get up in the morning. What am I getting up for? Everyone already feels a certain way about me. So, I started to lose work as a result of it. That was when it really started to get to me. As a man, your work is your identity, and I started to lose work, business deals so it became a real problem for me.”
