Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar has taken to social media to cry out for help, revealing that she is still battling an undisclosed illness and has been using filters to conceal her true appearance.
The actress, in a distressing video shared on her Instagram on Tuesday lamented her struggles, after which narrated how her best friend and colleagues abandoned her.
“You know best. My tears and pain won’t go in vain. Amen,” she wrote.
The video began with a statement that read: “Two things I know for sure: Prayers work, and tables eventually turn.”
In a follow-up post, the actress who shared her account details, admitted she is struggling and tired of seeking assistance.
“Help me. I’m tired of begging,” she wrote.
Addressing her followers in a tearful video, Halima explained her condition and how she has been masking her struggles with social media filters.
“Hi everybody. People are confused, saying what’s going on. I’m not feeling fine up till now, I’m just good at being strong and pretending that I am okay.
“This is me, but every day you see me post pictures with a filter. That is a filter from TikTok, but this is how I look. I didn’t want to post a picture looking like this. And some of you would be laughing, what is funny?”
She questioned why people would doubt her condition, insisting she was not lying about her health.
“Yea, I go to the hospital, I actually go to Turkish hospital, which is one of the biggest in Nigeria. This is not me.
“Okay, you sacked me from Nollywood, which is okay, but what is all this betrayal? They said I was never sick, that I was lying. My own best friend says I am lying, that I am acting.
“How can someone be acting sick? Do I look like someone that is acting to you? You are a wicked person, and you are evil. God will punish you for saying I am lying.
“Do you know how many people I’ve been begging? I have practically been begging everybody so they can support me for my medication. I am not crying, I am just venting.”
Recall that last year, the actress was suspended by Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN)after their secret investigation found out that she was allegedly spreading false information about her colleagues and high profiled individuals to bloggers.
