According to Olori Supergal, veteran Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar has reached out to the public for urgent financial assistance to undergo critical medical procedures. The actress, who has been battling health challenges for an extended period, reportedly requires surgery on both her brain and spleen to address deteriorating conditions.
The plea has sent shockwaves through the Nigerian entertainment industry, as fans and colleagues react to the news of her declining health. Abubakar has been a staple in the film industry for years, though her career has been frequently interrupted by recurring medical issues that have sparked various public conversations.
The request for support highlights the ongoing struggle many veteran entertainers face regarding healthcare funding and long-term insurance within the industry. This public appeal follows a series of cryptic posts and health updates from the actress over the last few months, indicating that her condition has reached a stage requiring immediate intervention.
Supporters and well-wishers have begun mobilizing on social media to raise the necessary funds. The actress’s representatives have emphasized the gravity of the situation, urging the public to verify donation channels to avoid falling victim to fraudulent accounts capitalizing on the crisis.
* Legit.ng reported on the development, quoting a representative: “Halima is in a very fragile state and the surgeries are her best chance at recovery.”
* PM News Nigeria confirmed the urgency, stating: “The actress is crying out for help as her medical bills have become overwhelming.”
Echotitbits take: This development is a sobering reminder of the lack of robust welfare structures for Nollywood veterans. While the public response is often swift, the recurring nature of these “SOS” calls suggests a systemic issue with medical security for stars. Expect a massive celebrity-led fundraising drive to dominate Nigerian social media over the next 48 hours.
