Ex-THISDAY Staff, Eroke-Okafor Unveils Book on Depression

A former staff of THISDAY Newspapers Limited, Mrs. Linda Eroke-Okafor, has launched a book titled, ‘Revealed! 9 Ways I Overcame Depression with Zero Budget’.

The former THISDAY Labour Correspondent in her speech at the event which took place in Lagos, recently, gave thanks to God “for making this book launch a great success despite the many hurdles.”

She added: “I deeply appreciate everyone present at the unveiling of the new book, especially my former colleagues in THISDAY newspaper. Of course, not forgetting those that could not make it physically but remembered me in their prayers, sent messages or called.

“I also want to appreciate the pastorate and members of the

Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Fruitful Vine Area led by pastor Solomon Osa-Daniel for being a strong pillar of support to me. I could never have done this without your help and encouragement. I want to specially thank my husband and children for standing by me to ensure that the event is successful.”

She added: “Permit me to use this opportunity to solicit your support in achieving my dreams for I strongly believe that we rise by lifting others.

“Take for instance one of Hollywood famous stunt women and racers, Kitty O'Neill, who solidified her place in history as the world's fastest woman despite suffering personal challenges, including the loss of hearing at an early age.

“Kitty never allowed these challenges to stop her, instead her persistent and daring attitude propelled her to the pinnacle of her profession. She was able to achieve this feat with the help and support of those around her for a tree cannot make a forest.”
