According to Ayoola, he got so depressed during that period and deliberately tried to get hit off the road by crossing wrongly. However, the Men’s Club star admitted that he started to rethink his decision when the thought that he might go to hell crept into his mind.
He said:
“I was actually in the middle of the road, and when you’re calculating when to cross, I deliberately miscalculated so that I would be hit. Maybe this is a good idea, but then I think the fear of ‘if you do it, you go to hell, is it true?’ I don’t want to go to hell. Maybe it’s a bad idea, and then something happened that maybe picked up the pace or slowed down a little more, and the car just brushed me. I still fell off the road, and some people came to help me up, not knowing I tried to, you know.”
The Nollywood star added that since his close brush with death, his perspective about it has changed. Ayoola said that in retrospect, he looks at his handsome son and wonders why he wanted to destroy the young boy’s life by making him fatherless.
In his words:
“I look at the very handsome young man, and I’m like, really? This is what I was about to miss. This is who’s life I was about to destroy by my actions. By the action I was about to take, that I was going to take blindly, this little boy would have been made fatherless.”
During the interview, a video of Ayoola’s young son was also posted. See the clip below:
