Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar has opened up about her long-running health struggle, saying the experience lasted 13 years and was made harder by what she described as a lack of love and empathy from some colleagues in the movie industry.
According to the actress, the absence of compassion and support deepened the pain of an already difficult personal battle. Her remarks place attention not only on her health ordeal, but also on the emotional toll that can come when people facing serious challenges feel isolated within their professional circle.
Abubakar used her message to urge members of Nollywood to embrace values such as love, compassion and unity. She suggested that a stronger culture of care within the industry could make a meaningful difference for people dealing with private struggles while still trying to navigate public life and work.
Her comments have added to ongoing conversations about support systems, empathy and solidarity in the entertainment industry. By sharing her experience, the actress has highlighted the need for a more humane and united environment in Nollywood.
