Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar has opened up about her struggles, sharing that she has been putting up a front since she was suspended from the film industry.
The movie star who was suspended from Nollywood in October 2024 over alleged misconduct took to social media to share a disturbing update about her health and ordeal.
Abubakar, who looked pale and ill in a video uploaded on her Instagram page on Tuesday, confirmed that she was sick but added that there was wrong with her medically.
Revealing that her blood pressure is 157, the thespian noted that she is heartbroken and that she has undergone an MRI scan thrice.
“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 because every day you see me post pictures with the TikTok filter, but this is how I look. 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.
“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.
“I’m supposed to have an MRI, and I’m still waiting to go to have it. I have so many things medically to do.
“My MRI, my BP is 157. 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 said.
