I would be lying if I say I have never been s3xually harassed – Halima Abubakar

By Juliet Ebirim

MAYBE Halima Abubakar isn't the saintly type but the sexy actress has proved times without number that she is, most often than not, on the level, when she's put on the spot. Juliet Ebirim ran into her at Iyabo Ojo's beauty shop opening on Sunday and a conversation ensued, as usual on a variety of issues:

How were you able to scale through?

It might come in the form of “toasting”. I wasn't “blocked” now. While some will just tell you to your face. As a woman you have to respect yourself and set boundaries regardless of what people think. Some people think that sleeping with someone will give them what they're looking for, but it doesn't. That's the way I see life. You are not supposed to do anything (engage in a sexual relationship)

So what I do is, I look at the person's face and tell him this is wrong, because I'm sure that aside from me, he will harass another person. The only easy way is to disgrace the person so that he will be shy to do that to the next person.

So you really disgrace the person?

Of course . My dear, I'm not there to joke, neither am I there to be rude to anybody. But you know, you meet some very rude people that don't know how to talk. So when you meet such people, you just give it back to them. You raise your voice and embarrass them, they won't try it again.

On acting n^de

She may play sultry characters on the big screen, but don't expect Halima to be flaunting her derriere anytime soon, she says a big “NO” to it

On if she's ever dated someone in Nollywood

Definitely. Am I a child? I have and I'm not lying about it.

On if she'll stop acting

Yes, I won't act forever. I'll go behind the cameras. I'm not one of those actors that will say I'm good in every way or that I must be in every movie that I produce. I don't have to be. I'll take the free time I have when I'm free.

On her role models

Well, I love Angelina Jolie because of how wonderful her heart is. She's human and I see her as flawless. She's one person I look up to. In Nollywood, I admire a lot of people.

On where she draws Inspiration

I just pray. I don't draw inspiration from anyone.
