Funny Face Warns Ghanaian Youth Against Drug Use, Shares Personal Struggles

Ghanaian comedian Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng, popularly known as Funny Face, has issued a passionate plea to the youth of Ghana, urging them to steer clear of drugs.

In an open and emotional interview with Metro TV, the comedian—fondly called the “Children’s President”—spoke about his personal battle with substance abuse and how it negatively impacted his life.

Reflecting on his experiences, Funny Face admitted that turning to drugs during difficult times only deepened his struggles rather than providing any relief.

“Say no to drugs because when I went through challenges, I took some, and it didn’t help me. When you’re going through challenges and you take drugs, it worsens,” he cautioned.

He also extended his advice to fellow creatives in the entertainment industry, encouraging them to avoid substance abuse and seek support when dealing with personal hardships.

Funny Face emphasized the importance of open communication and emotional well-being, warning against bottling up emotions. Using his own life as an example, he revealed how his inability to speak about his struggles nearly led to his downfall.

“Most creatives, I’ll tell them to stay away from drugs, and they shouldn’t bottle things up inside them. When you’re going through something, talk to somebody. That’s what happened to me. I didn’t talk to people. For a broken heart, I’m a living testimony that it nearly finished me,” he shared.

Through his candid revelations, Funny Face hopes to prevent others from making the same mistakes and encourages Ghanaian youth to choose healthier ways of coping with challenges.

Funny Face’s message is deeply rooted in his personal experiences and resilience. Having faced mental health struggles and battled substance abuse, he has become a passionate advocate for mental well-being and sobriety.

His words serve as a powerful reminder of the dangers of drug abuse and the importance of confronting emotional challenges through open conversations and professional support.
