I don’t care what people say about my age –Halima Abubakar

By
Kogi State-born actress, Halima Abubakar, certainly doesn’t care whose ox is gored especially since she went public about her age. Immediately she went on the social media to declare that she is 30 years, some of her fans and critics began to diss her. While some claim that she certainly couldn’t be 30 years, others accused her of shortening her age by at least five years. But while speaking to Saturday Beats, the actress said she wasn’t bothered about the ‘ranting’ of other people, saying she knows her age and is proud of it. “I have said what my real age is. I am 30, I am not bothered in any way about what people say,” she told Saturday Beats on the phone. (JAB)
