Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar has openly shared her struggles with serious health challenges and the financial difficulties she faces while trying to make ends meet. She emotionally revealed how her deteriorating health condition has significantly impacted her daily life and career.
During an interactive session where she addressed various questions from fans and loved ones, Halima disclosed that her health issues have worsened over time. She admitted to frequently using TikTok filters to conceal her real face in photos and videos, as her physical appearance has changed due to her ongoing health struggles.
Halima Abubakar further explained that she needs to undergo an MRI scan and closely monitor her medical condition. She revealed with concern that her blood pressure has risen to an alarming level of 157, which has added to her anxiety and stress.
In her words:
“People seem confused about what is really happening to me. The truth is, I have not been feeling fine for a long time, but I have been trying to stay strong. I have just been pretending that I’m okay. This is the real me. Every day, you see me post pictures using TikTok filters, but in reality, this is how I actually look. How could someone claim that I’m lying about being sick?
I go to a Turkish hospital, one of the biggest medical facilities in Nigeria, for treatment, but despite all my struggles, people still doubt my condition. I don’t understand why I have to keep explaining myself.
You all pushed me out of Nollywood, and now I face betrayals from people I once trusted. Do people think I would lie about being sick? Only a mad person would lie about something like this. Some have even claimed that I was never sick at all. But the truth is, I was in my village for over a year before I recently moved back because of my hospital appointments. I have been undergoing check-ups, and now, medically, I have been told nothing is critically wrong, but I am still dealing with so much.
“I still need to have an MRI done, and I am waiting for the right time to go for it. There are so many other medical procedures I need to complete. My MRI is pending, and my blood pressure is dangerously high at 157. What do people think I am going through? Even my so-called best friend accused me of lying to the public, yet this person has never visited me or checked on me even once.”
“I haven’t acted in a movie for over six years now. What more do people want from me? Do they want me to die or take my own life? I am completely heartbroken. Can’t you all see how much I have changed? I have already done MRI scans three times at the Turkish hospital, and yet people still don’t believe me.”
