Halima Abubakar, the Nigerian actress, has taken to social media to appreciate the people who have been there for her amid her battle with an unknown illness.
In 2022, Abubakar announced her retirement from acting over health concerns.
The actress, however, did not reveal the nature of the ailment she is battling.
She also made allegations against Apostle Johnson Suleman, the general overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, claiming that they had dated and that her health issues stemmed from the relationship.
Suleman responded with a defamation lawsuit, which resulted in a N10 million judgement against Abubakar.
But in an Instagram post on Wednesday, the actress said it is difficult for her to share what she has been through with the public.
Halima also broke down in tears as she thanked the persons who have supported her during trying times.
She also revealed that she is “thankful for being alive”, adding that “God has saved me” — without sharing details of her ordeal.
“What I have been through only me and myself can say it. I just want to use this opportunity to thank all those people who have been there for me,” she said.
“Those ones that did not run or reject me, those that did not criticise or judge me because it can be anybody. Well I thank God that what the devil means to harm me, God used it to keep me alive so that I can see, so that I can learn, so that I can be thankful for being alive.
“What I have seen in my life is not something that I can share. My face is actually really badder than this but I just used you know filter but I am not here for pity party.
“I am just here to say God is good, God has saved me and those who I did not understand why they did not check up on me and visit me, I am very very sorry because I did not know I am not just the one with problems, everybody is dealing with one thing. I am here today to say thank you, God bless you. To those who have been there, may God enrich you.”
