Being banned has opened a lot of doors for me - Actress Rahama Sadau
It's been almost one year since talented actress, Rahama
Sadau was banned from the Kannywood film industry after she shared a hug
with Jos-based pop singer Classiq in a Hausa music video.
The ban catapulted her into the limelight and she has since
then featured in several Nollywood films including a yet unreleased
movie The Accidental Spy, with Ramsey Nouah.
Speaking with The Guardian Life, the Kaduna- born actress
opened up about growing up, her Kannywood experience, rejecting roles
and her transition into Nollywood.
The actress also talked about sharing similar experience
with Priyanka Chopra, who transitions from Bollywood to Hollywood.
Excerpt from the interview below:
"They don’t like her doing it but still they are proud of
her. We have similar problems and are facing similar situations because
at some point, they have to accept you and appreciate what you’re doing.
*How was growing up in Kaduna?
It was a normal life, it has been very great and fantastic. I remember being a dancer in primary school and secondary school.
*You’re quite young, 23? When you started acting really
early how did your parents and your community first take it? Were they
supportive?
No, especially my mum, because they thought the industry is
not a good place for a young girl like me. But she has still been
supportive. No matter how they try to keep us away from our dreams she
still tries to support us because she is afraid of us falling into the
wrong hands but at some point she was like no and I pushed for it.
*Tell us about your Kannywood experience
I started acting in the year 2013. So far it has been great
and it was my starting point. I am really grateful for it, I am
thankful for what it has made me become today. I have lived in Kaduna
all my life. Whenever I travel to any other state it’s for work.
*You were banned from Kannywood, how did it affect your career at the time?
Well, it’s a stepping stone, I am grateful because it has
opened a lot of doors because a lot of people didn’t know me until the
ban happened. It’s not something good but I think it was just meant to
be.
*Do you feel that you did something wrong or deserved to be banned?
No, I can’t just touch someone and then they say I did
something wrong. I think your religion and faith is between you and God.
I grew up as a northern lady, I know my limitations and I know what I
can do as a northerner and a Muslim. What I did should be at the liberty
of the artist who shouldn’t be banned.
*Did you ever find yourself turning down a script because of certain things you couldn’t do?
Yes I have my limitations like I said, there are certain
things I wouldn’t do because of where I come from and the religion I
stand for. If I show that I am ignorant of things, I have family and I
know what the people in the north are capable of, that’s why I am being
careful.
*How has your transition to Nollwood been so far?
Before the ban I had featured in many Nollywood films like
The Light Will Come, and Sons of the Caliphate. There hasn’t been much
difference working in Nollywood. Perhaps the people are different, and
the environment, similar stories and cultures.
*How difficult has it been for you to keep with your personal values?
It has been a bit difficult but I always try to stick to
who I am and focus on the things that I need and work towards
everything.
*What are some core values you won’t compromise?
Growing up in the North has been a bit difficult when you
are trying to be another person in another zone and another territory. I
don’t feel comfortable when I dress in short clothes but I am cool with
other things like opening my hair up.
*How’s your schedule, do you get to do stuff that young women your age do like go on dates?
Yes, I am very busy but if I have time to sleep, then I’ll definitely
create time for a date. I am a very boring person, I always stick to my
laptop, watching movies but whenever my friends call me out on a date,
we just go somewhere, it could be anywhere, have fun and come backDino Melaye reacts to court ruling ordering INEC to continue his recall process
However, the court this morning dismissed his application and gave INEC the go ahead to continue with the recall process. Dino took to his Facebook page to reaction to the judgment. Read what he wrote below...
My great people of Kogi West Senatorial district of Kogi state,in the face of obvious persecution and appealable judgement of the Federal High Court,Abuja,today.Let not your heart be troubled. Lies will never overtake or conquer TRUTH. The presence of the Kogi State Attonery General and Commissioner for Justice in Court today over a matter that Kogi State is not joined as a party shows the clear collaborative efforts of INEC and Kogi State Government.However,these combined efforts of Governor Yahaya Bello,INEC,top Federal Govt Officials and top Security agents to harangue and stampede me out of the Senate against the will of Kogi West constituents will fail woefully.He who is with me from above is greather than all of them put together.I will not stop speaking truth to authority.kogi State Govt must pay workers salaries and pay Pensioners.We can not all sleep facing one side of the bed.We shall overcome this temporary shenanigans in the long run.We will neither sleep nor slumber on this.I use this oppotunity to thank my dear constituents for their abiding love for and confidence shown towards me.God bless you all.Imole Dey! Okunkun parada!

Vera Sidika calls out Nigerian ladies who complain about foreign girls dating Nigerian men
It's funny how some Nigerian girls always talking about "these gals should stop taking our men" no! It's your men that go after foreign girls! Why not focus on keeping your men in your country than attack foreign girls for dating naija Men. They approach them not the other way round! Maybe u should ask yourself why it's so than point fingers on others.
Coz it's unfair attacking people for no reason.
FYI, I don't intend to date a Nigerian man. So don't panic
