Former Big Brother Naija 2017 housemate, Ekemini Ekerete, better known as Kemen, has revealed how being depressed made him fall in love with keeping fit.
In a post on Instagram on Wednesday, the fitness trainer said he had planned his life at age 20 only for his plans to hit the rocks.
“10yrs ago when I was 20 and working in a multinational company, I thought @25 I would be married, have my last child @29 help my wife get her body back in a year @30 and start acting as new lovers ever after,” he began.
“Oh well, I guess I thought too loud and my yard people heard me. I lost my job 3yrs later after I turned 23. 25 met me at the darkest point in my life, depression and ill health led me to fitness but it was obviously designed by God that I go that route because he placed everyone I needed to get me through the hard times.”
He continued: “Five years down the line, I can say that fitness changed my life, my person, my perspective, my ideology and my understanding of life.
“In fitness, I found peace, love, satisfaction, hope, and fulfillment. I may not have all I want, but I certainly have what I need.”
2017 was a tough time Kemen when he was disqualified from the Big Brother Naija reality show after he was found guilty of touching Tboss inappropriately without her consent.
