would be speaking about her attempted
suicide, she once said it on her instagram
page, but in this new interview with Punch,
Halima shed more light on it and explained
how she went broke and was tired of life, how
people lied using her name, how people she
loved betrayed her, and how her boyfriend
couldn't even save her. Continue below.
If not for divine intervention, actress Halima
Abubakar would have been dead by now. She
disclosed this in an exclusive chat with
Saturday Beats.
The actress said she went into depression
some time ago and considered suicide as the
only option of getting away from that state.
And guess why Halima was depressed and
wanted to kill herself -she was broke!
She said, "There were a lot of things that were
wrong with me and led to my depression. I
was angry, broke, people lied against me and
they were also using my name to lie. I was
deceived by the people I loved. I was seriously
broke at the time and I had lots of
responsibilities.
"There were many charity projects I was
involved in and I was doing everything with my
money. Everything just got to me at the same
time and I felt fed-up. I wanted to kill myself
because there was nobody to help me. It
happened two years ago and it also occurred
last year. I thank God I did not kill myself
because I realised that nothing is worth it. I
was upset with myself when I got back to my
senses because the people you want to kill
yourself for do not really care about you. It
was a terrible phase in my life," she said.
When asked why her boyfriend could not help
her out, Halima said he compounded her case
instead of helping out.
"He was not helping matters. I wanted
somebody that would listen and not say that I
was lying or exaggerating the extent of what I
was going through. Whenever I tell him I am
sad, he wants to give me money but it is not
all about money all the time.
"Yes, I said I was broke but it was not only
about money. I was broken emotionally. If
there is no hope, I feel I am broken. I needed
a listening ear. The definition of broke is
relative but Nigerians think it is only about
money. Money was also involved. The first
major problem I had was money; then I was
also emotionally broken," she said.
