Halima Abubakar Says Nollywood Colleagues ‘Left Me to Die’ During Illness — Names Who Showed Up

Halima Abubakar The Ent News

Updated September 12, 2026 — Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar has opened up about the period she was seriously ill, saying some industry colleagues never checked on her while she was sick, and that she felt left to die — but credits God, and a short list of supporters, for her survival.

What Halima told Saturday Beats

In an interview published by Punch on September 12, 2026 (link), Abubakar recalled feeling abandoned by people she expected to support her during her illness.

She told Saturday Beats she was not claiming friendship with those who stayed away, and pointed to how quickly industry rumors can spread. According to her, after she was asked to write a report, nothing was acted on, and she was given an indefinite suspension — with no visits when she was sick.

“They didn’t send anybody. They just left me to die, but God said I will live.”

She also said she no longer carries the same anger, adding that she does not know what others heard about her, and that she is focused on the future as a changed person.

Who she thanked for real support

Abubakar publicly named people who helped her medically or personally:

  • Patoranking — among musicians she reached out to, she called him “one of the wonderful ones.”
  • Ahmed Musa — she said the footballer was kind to her.
  • Mercy Eke — she said the former Big Brother Naija star “shocked me the most,” and that she is deeply grateful.
  • Junior colleagues she credited with major support and free medical treatment: Destiny Etiko, Lizzy Gold, Monica Friday, Queeneth Agbor, and Regina Daniels.

She also said she messaged Don Jazzy more than 19 times with no reply.

Why the story is trending

The interview lands as a sharp Nollywood conversation about illness, rumor, and who shows up when a colleague is down. Coverage from Punch and follow-up outlets on September 12 has pushed the quotes across Nigerian entertainment timelines.
