Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar has once again appealed to Nigerians for financial assistance, saying she urgently needs funds to undergo brain and spleen surgeries.
In a now-trending video shared on Tuesday, the actress was seen sitting on the floor as she emotionally begged the public for support.
“I’m tired of begging, I need money, help me with money so that I can do my spleen surgery.
I beg you in God’s name. I am not ashamed. If I am ashamed, I’ll just die one day, you people will not know,” she said.
Her latest plea comes weeks after she revealed that she had been diagnosed with a brain tumour and needed about ₦25 million to cover surgery, aftercare and living expenses.
Speaking during an Instagram Live session with Odogwu Kiwi, Abubakar disclosed that she had also been evicted from her residence.
“I have just been evicted from my house. I have been diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Yesterday, my caretaker came to tell me to leave the house. The money contributed for my health, which I wanted to use to pay my rent, was rejected by my landlady,” she said tearfully.
“Do they want me to kill myself? From one situation to another, I have packed all my belongings and I have nowhere to go. I do not want to kill myself. Yahaya Bello, VDM, Seyi Tinubu, everyone, I need your help. I have nobody. I cannot even reach any celebrities; none of them is answering my calls. I called Don Jazzy, but there was no response.”
The actress had earlier disclosed in 2025 that she had been battling serious health challenges while facing financial difficulties.
“People are confused about what is going on. I have not been feeling well up until now. I am just good at being strong and pretending to be okay. This is me, but every day you see me post a picture with a filter. That is a TikTok filter, not me. This is how I look. Some of you will be laughing. What is funny? Will I be lying? Why would somebody say I am lying? Lying about what? That I am sick?” she said.
Abubakar’s health struggles date back several years. In 2017, she travelled to India for fibroid surgery and later criticised some colleagues for failing to check on her during her recovery, while appreciating those who offered support.
She also spent years embroiled in a public legal dispute with Apostle Johnson Suleman, General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, whom she accused of having a relationship with her and later reneging on a marriage promise.
In 2022, the actress announced her exit from acting, hinting at health-related reasons in a post captioned “rejuvenate and continue healing.”
Her renewed appeal has sparked reactions on social media, with fans expressing concern and calling for support to help her access urgent medical treatment.
