‘They Wanted Me Gone’: Halima Abubakar Exposes Nollywood Peers Who Abandoned Her In Sickness
Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar has opened up about her harrowing battle with ill health, revealing that despite expecting support from her peers, many industry colleagues completely abandoned her during her time of need.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In an interview with Saturday Beats, the actress explained that while she initially felt deeply hurt, she has chosen not to harbor resentment, acknowledging how easily rumors and gossip spread within the entertainment industry. She noted that many individuals chose to act on hearsay rather than reaching out directly to verify facts, which she believes led to her unjust treatment and indefinite suspension.
Reflecting on the darkest moments of her illness, Abubakar expressed pain over the total lack of visits or check-ins from certain colleagues, stating that she felt left to her fate. However, she emphasized that she holds no sense of entitlement toward anyone.
“They don’t owe me anything, and I do not owe them anything,” she stated, attributing her survival entirely to her faith in God.
While she witnessed the true character and judgments of many during her ordeal, Abubakar noted that she has moved past the negativity and retains affection for her colleagues, recognizing that they may have simply been swayed by false narratives.
She also took time to express profound gratitude to the individuals who genuinely rallied around her medically and financially. She specifically thanked musician Patoranking and footballer Ahmed Musa for their kindness, while noting that her numerous messages to Don Jazzy went unanswered. Furthermore, Abubakar expressed immense appreciation for former BBNaija star Mercy Eke, alongside junior colleagues Destiny Etiko, Lizzy Gold, Monica Friday, Queeneth Agbor, and Regina Daniels, whom she credited with providing vital support and facilitating free medical treatment.

Inside The Storm: Senator Umeh Drops Massive Clarification On Peter Obi’s Secret Collation Plan.
Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) chieftain Victor Umeh has clarified that the party has no intentions of setting up a parallel result collation framework for the 2027 general elections.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
This statement comes on the heels of comments made on Thursday by the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who announced that the NDC would implement a mechanism to relay polling unit tallies directly to its situation room during the 2027 polls. Obi had explained during an interview on Arise Television that this strategy would guarantee accurate data transmission and block the addition of unrecorded figures from polling booths.
However, speaking on Channels Television’s Politics program on Friday, Umeh asserted that Obi’s remarks were misconstrued. He emphasized that the party will merely station agents at polling units to forward legally declared results—recorded on official forms—to the party’s situation room for independent tracking.
Umeh stressed that this setup should not be labeled a parallel system.
“I believe he (Obi) must have been misquoted,” Umeh stated. “What he is trying to say is that the party would have its agents at every polling unit and once the results are collated, declared, and put in the prescribed result form, they will be doing their own collation in the situation room. You must send the results of the polling units to the NDC situation room. INEC has no monopoly of collation of data.”
African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain Chille Igbawua has blasted remarks by Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) figure Rabiu Kwankwaso, who urged former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race. Speaking on Arise Television, Igbawua dismissed claims regarding Atiku’s age and health as completely unfounded, pointing out that biological age does not dictate a leader’s mental capacity, agility, or sagacity.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Igbawua took strong exception to Kwankwaso’s suggestion that they would “take care” of Atiku if victorious, labeling the remark deeply insulting and irresponsible. He noted that such patronizing language has caused severe damage by widening the gulf within the opposition.
Despite the friction, Igbawua reiterated that the ADC remains open to meaningful dialogue to unite the opposition. Expressing total confidence in the party’s prospects, he asserted that the ADC is fully prepared to defeat the incumbent administration in 2027, regardless of whether opposition parties run multiple candidates.
