Music star Excess Van has spoken out about the importance of mental health awareness in Nigeria, highlighting the need for more support and understanding around the issue. The artiste, whose real name is Kingsley Chibueze Eze, emphasized the significance of addressing mental health openly and without stigma.
In a recent interview, Excess Van shared his thoughts on the challenges many Nigerians face regarding mental health. “Mental health is a critical issue that affects everyone, yet it’s often overlooked or stigmatized in our society,” he said. “We need to create an environment where people feel comfortable seeking help and discussing their struggles without fear of judgment.”
Excess Van pointed out that the stigma surrounding mental health often prevents individuals from seeking the assistance they need. “Many people suffer in silence because they fear being labeled or misunderstood,” he noted. “It’s essential to educate ourselves and others about mental health and to provide accessible resources for those in need.”
The artiste also called for increased government and community support to address mental health issues effectively. “We need more mental health services, better funding for mental health programs, and public awareness campaigns to break the stigma,” Excess Van stated. “It’s not just about treating mental health conditions but also about promoting overall well-being and resilience.”
As part of his advocacy, Excess Van encouraged his fans and fellow Nigerians to prioritize their mental health and support one another. “Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health,” he said. “Let’s start conversations, be there for each other, and make mental health a priority in our lives.”
