Ali Nuhu is known globally as a unique actor that play in both Nollywood or popularly Nigerian English movies and Kanywood known as Hausa movie industry. He is known to be the most oustanding continue active and performing Hausa movie artist that stand the generation of the industry. "I have over 53,000 fans on my like page on face book.." he said adusting his sitting position sipping a drink.

Ali Nuhu was recently admitted into Malam Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH) for treatment. His health condition issue becomes the subject of discussions among his colleagues, fans and the general public. Infact, the ailment describe by different people with various discussions about his health take a political approach full of lies and spreading it around.

In fact, even on my way going to the hospital with my friend Sulaiman Abubakar Edita, an elderly man told me about the condition Ali Nuhu is. I felt touched when I heard what he said. But reaching the hospital down to where he is I concluded that the whole issues is what usually happens to stars, politicians among others. The unverified stories of exaggeration to the level of such stories.

As we step in to meet he was sitting on the bed holding a cup and sipping a drink. He wored a good looking Jallabiyya and the influx of people in to see him had to be control. We were able to see great and you can even believe Ali was sick few days or hours. I saw him full of energy including playing with some people around. " Sulaiman today we are going to sleep editing in your office" He said happily with full smile.

The embarrassing moment began when I attempt to took his picture with a good heart couple with the intention to inform fans and the public the state of his health today. I gave a sign to look for permission to do that. Within seconds his face changed. "No one can take my picture!" He sounded. I quickly said ok but I was really embarrased as there were about 6 people in the room.

But I then added that "I am sorry I attempt to make an update of the previous picture posted which we shares and even to yahoogroups and so many prayers offers" I landed. He keep talking to complaing that " that picture that I was taking was without my permission and what is the aim of snaping me such picture in that condition" told me. He added that, "Let me be well I can leave it at this point".

I discovered that, the picture while taking it seems like a picture that its taken without permission. And I only felt embarrased because I know when I saw the picture I share but I also, now question the aim of the picture. It also appears to me that the person I got the picture on my wall Al-Amin Chiroma was not also the one that snap the picture. He got it from someone. Before we left Ali, I tried to urge him to take it lightly as his collegues and families were saying while we were there.

At this juncture I want to apologise to him and those who got the picture that the picture is not taking by me and I only share with the good intention to earn him prayers. Your prayers answered despite so much exaggerations going on around town and social media.
