Speaking about her suicidal thoughts in the past year, Halima says, “It was a phase in my life. I am glad I overcame it. It was a silly thought. It is not something that anyone should think about. A lot of people were surprised with all the physical stuff they see around, they don’t know the person’s emotional state. I like to be sincere and truthful; I don’t know how to pretend when I am going through a problem. I had to talk about it; it is not about saving face. If you do, you wouldn’t get any help. I wouldn’t have the peace I have right now if I tried to save face. It is amazing how time can heal, I am grateful for time.
I learnt that people don’t love as much as they say they do. I learnt not to trust people so much again aside my family who are the people who will be there for me if anything goes wrong. I am truly happy. I am happier than I have being in four years.I am extremely happy now.”
Halima is working on her first Hausa TV series. The script is of 58 episodes and she hopes it would be translated to English in good time.
