Insisting that happiness is a choice, the comedian also said that people should stop thinking that suicidal individuals are bluffing.

In the post sighted by Igbere TV on Monday, Bovi wrote;

“I get mails like this all the time. I remember vividly my prayer to God when I started stand-up comedy professionally; "dear God, I don't just want to make people laugh. I want to make them happy".

“Mental health issues are real. Let's not think people are bluffing all the time. Even people who threaten to take their lives but don't also need help. Lastly, happiness is a choice. Let's always remember that.”
