Northern girls defy lots of restrictions to pursue their dreams- Rahama Sadau

Hausa movie actress, Rahama Sadau who was recently banned by MOPPAN for cuddling in a music video has said girls up north are usually denied the opportunity to explore and pursue their talents.

In a recent interview with The Nation, Sadau said Northern girls have potentials and talents but have myriads of restrictions barring them from making moves.

She said, “I just recently launched my new production company and all of the crew members are female. It is deliberate because northern girls think they are women that are just kept aside. That can’t just make a move.

“We have talents; we have potentials in the North. But they are not given the opportunity to explode. And it’s not something bad. Just like I said, you can have restrictions. Being an actor doesn’t mean I would have to go nude to portray a character.

“When I decided to take acting as a career, at first my parents were against it. But today, my mum is so proud. When she saw me on Super Story, she was like, that is my girl. So I have the support of my family and that is all I need.

“I think the industry should begin to explore ways so they can measure up. I think we should but that would be up to the filmmakers and the producers.

“A typical Hausa girl who wants to pursue her dreams can rise up against certain stereotypes. You can tell when you watch Sons of the Caliphate because the story was trying to portray a Hausa girl who doesn’t want to go against the norms and traditions of the northerners. You can tell from that.

“She doesn’t do nasty things. She doesn’t do anything that is beyond what the people would say or against what the people would complain about.”
