Actress Halima Abubakar has disclosed why she is shooting a
documentary on bullying. According to her, she was bullied all through her educational

documentary on it which will serve as a campaign against it. Here’s what she
told Tribune;
You have been working on this documentary on bullying. How
is that like?
is that like?
Yes, the documentary is one of my charity pieces for
schools. When it eventually gets out, it will be for schools. Bullying is like
the story of my life. I passed through that experience all through my
educational life, even now. There was a time I did not write a particular exam
because of a threat. They threatened to do things to me if I came for that exam
(Statistics). So, I stayed back. I had to sit for that exam the following year.

Were they cult members?
No, they were a group of girls. It was way back in Kano.
Perhaps they couldn’t stand my guts. Then, I had started acting. You know, some
insecure people sometimes look for people to bully in order to satisfy
themselves. I was so scared of them that I believed they could really harm me.
So, I did not write that exam that day. It was that bad. Sometimes, I cried all
day. During my undergraduate days in Kano, I was a victim of severe attacks by
these girls. I don’t know what to call it, whether envy or insecurity, but they
kept me in constant fear. I only had two friends: a guy and a girl (Habiba).
They were the two people who stood by me in BUK (Bayero Univeristy, Kano). The
funny thing is that after school, we lost contact. God bless them wherever they
are.
