Halima Abubakar Begs For Financial Help, Accuses Colleagues Of Abandoning Her [Video]

Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar has appealed to Nigerians for help while speaking about her ongoing health struggles and financial challenges.

In an emotional video shared on Instagram on Tuesday, Halima Abubakar tearfully spoke about her condition and how many people have doubted the seriousness of her illness.

The actress explained that she has been battling health issues for a long time but has been trying to stay strong noting that people assume she is fine just because she posts pictures with filters online.

She said, “People are confused about what is happening. I’m not feeling fine up till now; I’m just good at being strong. I’m just pretending as if I’m okay.

“This is the real me, but every day you see me post a picture with a filter. That is a filter on TikTok, not me. This is how I look. Some of you will be laughing. What is funny? Will I be lying?

“How could somebody say I’m lying that I am sick? I go to a Turkish hospital, which is the biggest in Nigeria, but this is not me. I don’t just know.”

Halima Abubakar revealed that she moved to the village for a year while receiving treatment and dismissed accusations that she was faking her illness.

She also shared that she has been seeking financial assistance to cover her medical bills, including multiple MRI scans and treatment for high blood pressure.

“I have so many medical things to do. My MRI, my BP. It’s 157. What am I thinking? I have not done a movie for more than six years now. What do people want? For me to die? Do you want me to kill myself? I went for MRI three times,” she said.

The actress also expressed frustration over how the Nollywood industry and close friends have abandoned her during this difficult time, leaving her to struggle alone despite selling off all her assets to survive.

Abubakar revealed how her illness has affected her career, saying she hasn’t been able to act in over six years.

She said, “You sacked me from Nollywood, but what’s all this betrayal about? It’s a mad person that lies that they are sick.”They said I was never sick, that I was lying. I was in the village for more than one [year]. 

“I moved here recently because of the hospital where I go for check-ups. I’m now done with check-ups; there’s nothing wrong medically now.

“Everybody in Nollywood, they don’t talk to me anymore because of this singular thing. Everybody. I go from DM to DM trying to see who will help me.

“I was rich. I sold everything, my cars. Everything! You would think they would sympathise with me, selling three cars, not doing anything. How would I live when I am not working?”

“What am I thinking? My own best friend said I am lying to the public, and we are not even living in the same place. You didn’t come to check on me even once.

“It’s over 6 years since I have appeared in a movie. What else do you guys want? Do you want me to die or kill myself? I am heartbroken. Can’t you all see how I look? I have done MRI three times at a Turkish hospital,” she added.

Sharing the video, Halima Abubakar pleaded with Nigerians to help her reach her state governor and senator for support.

“Help me. I’m tired of begging. Please tag Kogi state government. HE @alhajiahmedusmanododo. HE @officialgybkogi. Senator @natashaakpoti,” she wrote.
