Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar, has disclosed that Nollywood is such an industry where colleagues find it hard to congratulate each other when there is good news.
Addressing the issue of competition in the industry, the actress said, “I am in an industry where people find it hard to congratulate you when there is good news.
“I often celebrate others and I am aware that not everyone can be like me. Most of my colleagues do not congratulate themselves whenever a feat has been achieved.
“However, I do not wait for people’s commendation because it would not fetch me money. I appreciate those who do and I do not care about the rest who don’t.
“Some of my colleagues are capable of blocking every avenue of opportunity that comes my way. I pay attention to those who do not clap when I win because they are the ones I must avoid.
“These same people will invite you to their movie set and act as though they are your true friends,” 30-year-old Halima told Punch
Speaking on fame, she said, “As a celebrity I am under so much pressure to please people. I speak bluntly whenever I am fed up with an issue. If I cannot handle a thing, I speak out without having to displease myself in order to please someone else.
On how often she visits her social media profiles, she noted, “I do not need to have a misunderstanding with someone before I post anything on social media.
“I only pay attention to those who understand what it means. I am a writer and I am addicted to quotes,” the actress added.
