Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar, has finally
revealed her real age and why she lied about it
when joining the movie industry.

The actress, who had stirred up several controversies
trailing her because of the age she initial claimed,
revealed that she will be clocking 30 on Friday, June
12, 2015, as against the speculation within and
outside the industry that she is either 33 or 35.

Read excerpts below:
Your birthday is Friday, June 12.
What
preparations do you have on ground in respect of
that?

I don’t understand if there should be any
preparations on that, please (laughs). I am only
planning to spend it with you guys. So, get ready. It’s
going to be a birthday with the press. Nothing
elaborate at all. It’s going to be an avenue for media
interaction where everybody will be free to ask me
any question about my life and career, be it positive
or negative. No holds barred.

What age exactly will you be celebrating?
I will be 30 on June 12, 2015.
But that’s incredible because a lot of people
believe you’re more than that. Some even said
you’re 35. How come you now say you’re just 30?
When you say the truth, people argue. When you lie,
they also argue. But I have said the truth, and I really
don’t know what to do again. But when I came into
Nollywood, I had to lie just to fit in because it’s an era
of aunty, aunty. And I was in JSS II then. So, if people
still can’t believe that I lied then just to fit in, that
means they need a reality check. I am proud of my
age.

Are you serious?

But that’s the truth about my age. Or are you the one
who issued me a birth certificate? I am 30 and I am
proud of it.

The endowed actress recently talked about issues
bothering on her last failed relationship and why she
left her boyfriend.
