Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar has made a heartfelt appeal for help, expressing her exhaustion from constant struggles. In an emotional Instagram Live session, Abubakar shared that she has been living in her village for over a year, battling illness and financial difficulties. She revealed that she had been seeking assistance for medical treatment but had received little support.
In her emotional plea, Abubakar emphasized the toll that her situation has taken on her, stating, “This is me, but every day I post a picture with a filter because I don’t want to post how I look, and some of you will say I’m lying. Why would I be lying, lying that I’m sick? I went to the biggest hospital in Nigeria.”
She continued, “You sack me from Nollywood, which is okay, but what are all these betrayals? They said I was never sick. I was lying; I was in the village for more than a year. I moved here recently because of the hospital that I go to for checkups, so I’m around here, and I’m done.”
Abubakar also shared her emotional distress, saying, “My best friend said I’m lying; she did not even come to check up on me. Do you want me to die? Do you want me to kill myself? I won’t even mention her, because that shows me that she was never my best friend.”
She also explained her financial struggles: “The whole of Nollywood doesn’t talk to me; everybody I go from DM to DM trying to see who will help me. I was rich; I sold my three cars, not doing anything.”
Abubakar’s candid confession has sparked an outpouring of concern from fans and fellow celebrities on social media. Many are expressing sympathy and urging others to support her during this difficult time.
