Ifani further said he was done with that chapter of forcing himself to work when he didn't want to.

Ifani said:

"My aunt would ask me why am I doing this to myself and go find a job 'cause I had degrees, so I wasn't working when I was down and out. I don't want to go to work when I didn't want to, and it wasn't because I was disrespecting her, but because my heart couldn't let me.

"So I don't like forcing myself to do what I want because I know depression. I have been there before, and I closed that chapter. So I'd rather take the poverty route than force myself to work when I don't want to. I couldn't be one of those people who work though they know they don't want to," he said.

"Weak mentality!!"

@KhosaRebecca shared:

"When you have kids, you won't even know you're depressed because you live through it pushing to provide for your kids. You even take up any job, your dream is to raise the minions the best way you can, you lose yourself in the process until they grow up, then you realise you lived in depression for decades."
