Coming from her ban from Kannywood, to her trip to Hollywood, Nigerian actress, Rahama Sadau has had an eventful year filled with ups and downs but nothing can put a dent on her joy today as she turns 23.
She shared these lovely new photos on her social media page to usher in her new age.
The 22 year old Business Administration graduate of Kaduna Polytechnic joined the Hausa movie industry Kannywood in 2013 and is one of the few Hausa on-screen characters who speaks Hindi fluently. Rahama played a few minor roles before gaining fame from her performance in “Gani ga Wane” alongside the popular Kannywood actor Ali Nuhu.
In addition to acting, she participates in charity works and most recently visited an IDP camp in Wasa, Abuja, Nigeria. This was organised by her charitable initiative Ray of Hope. Rahama participated in the 2015 Cancer day Walk organised by Medicaid.
Rahama Sadau was banned from the Hausa film industry Kannywood, by the Motion Picture Practitioners Association of Nigeria (MOPPAN) on Sunday, 2 October 2016 due to an “offensive hug” in her appearance in an Hausa music video along side a Jos based popular pop star ClassiQ
MOPPAN argued that the “hugging and cuddling” in the video was in violation of the code of ethics known to all Hausa movie practitioners. The industry, commonly known as Kannywood, has been under fire from conservative Muslim clerics who accuse it of corrupting people’s values.
However, on 8 October 2016, she was reported to be featuring in a movie series on EbonyLife TV and on 15 October 2016, she confirmed on her twitter account that she had been invited to Hollywood by Akon and Jeta Amata.
Happy Birthday Rahama
