Sometimes last year, actress Halima Abubakar said she wanted to commit
suicide after going into depression? She has now opened up on the real
reason she was in that state of mind – she was broke!
Halima told gooo/entertainment/saturday-beats/i-wanted-to-kill-myself-because-i-was-broke-halima-abubakar/”>Punch:
“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.
