The Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria yesterday announced they have expelled top Kannywood actress, Rahama Sadau, from the Hausa film industry because she featured in a romantic musical video by Jos born singer, ClassiQ and hugged, cuddled the music artist.

Press play to see the video. The association said the feature was immoral and also warned other actors and actresses to henceforth follow the rules binding their participation in the Kannywood film industry.

Meanwhile, a die hard Rahama Sadau fan has started a campaign demanding that MOPPAN takes Rahama Sadau back.

Dear Laila,

I am sure you already know that Rahama Sadau has been suspended for hugging a man in a music video. I am a poor girl like Rahama from the North who once found her impressive life an inspiration, the way she was able to rise from being an everyday girl from Kaduna to starring in Nollywood pictures made me dream, maybe one day, I too could.

In many ways, I think she's a lot like you - a woman facing the brute reality of trying to make it in a man's world. Unfortunately, Rahama's 'inspiring' days are about to be cut short. I know its a lot to ask, I know you have so many more important things to deal with and I know this might never get to you, but something in me told me I had to at least try.

I have started a petition on change.org,( https://www.change.org/p/motion-picture-practitioners-association-of-nigeria-moppan-bring-back-rahama-sadau?recruiter=605081813&utm_source=share_for_starters&utm_medium=copyLink) demanding that MOPPAN has a rethink on its decision.

MOPPAN is a national body and whether they like it or not, the people in Nollywood hold all the big guns, and there aren't many women with your reach or influence that can or might be willing to make them chip in.

Please share my petition on your site, or perhaps just give your voice to those calling for more fairness in the matter.
The people that did this are being inspired by the same religious puritanism that inspired Boko Haram, please help poor northern girls know that it's not a crime to hug or be hugged, it's not crime to do what men are allowed to do everyday of their lives.

Thank You
Maryam Jemaare

Welcome to the year 1889. This people are not yet in the year 2016!!
I thought they are professionals!!

there's nothing immoral about the video

They said she violated a code of ethics binding kannywood actors, that her fan should get us a copy of the code of ethics for us to see if she truly violated it. BTW, I see nothing immoral in the video, meaning if she mistakenly features in Olamide or Timaya's video, they will declare a Fatwa on her head

Why is she struggling to remain in Kannywood? She's too pretty to be restricted to that relatively unknown quantity. Make she step up to Nollywood proper jor. After which she can make an attempt on Hollywood. Its going to be really difficult o. But difficult is not impossible.

These people are the greatest of hypocrites, what is immoral in the video and they will be there doing worst things behind close doors. She should better relocate so they don't kill her dream. Na by force to be kannywood hearing that for the first time.

just because of cuddling n hugging

what if they where caught doing the do

na she know sah

18th century cinema industry....

Mologi:
public stunt .....they are promoting the video..


because I CNT even see where she was doing bad things...so to say

You call it publicity stunt 'cos u don't know d religious north. Pray, a fatwah isn't issued for her murder!

She should come down south Jare, she fine pass
the thick ones i see in Yoruba movies forming sexy, am sure she can always get a decent role in new nollywood movies.

nice jam there. i played it twice. the guy sounds like MI back n the days.


the musician and the girl should both dump the stvpid abok.i.wood and relocate to Lagos asap and be made the super stars they are supposed to be.

i remember they did that to one those their local star back then and the guy move to lagos, join nollywood and became a super star - whats that guy name again! they ended up begging him to come back.



the music is really nice - and the video is cool.

Hausa films are typical of Indian melodrama.

Hausa Nollywood films are about morality.

In the past, Hausa women are forbidden from going to cinema.

Hausa's Kannywood is known to protect the strong Islamic codes of practise in film and movie production and circulation.

Kannywood is an offshoot of Nollywood, leading film industry in sub-Sahara Africa. Following closely to Indian Bollywood and America's Hollywood.

Amazing decision

Hian!

Immoral??

Please can someone define the immoral part of the video here please. They didn`t kiss o. Just that she hugged him from behind? I hate hypocrisy to the core. These same people explelling her will still sleep with small girls in the dark o.

before you quote me, chill cos I grew up in the north, I know what i`m talking about.
Unless there is something else that is making them expel her apart from this video

Just like that?!

Who the video epp?

Bloody Hypocrites

Hypocrites

nothing too bad about the video naa, maybe its a publicity stunt, check out my jam below btw

And this is why they have d highest number of lesbians in Nigeria

how about the guy? does he not deserve to be suspended also? or is he not a member of their association?

She was playing the role of the singer's love interest on the video. What were they expecting her to do; stand afar off from him?

Its just like a lady playing the role of Adekunle Gold's lover in "orente" and you expect her to stand 12 miles away from him throughout the video.

Sanctimonious pr.icks

Kannywood? Like a new wood discovered and named after Kanye West?

Love the music

This kannywood guys are funny.

I used my data to stream the complete video hoping to see a sex scene or even small unclad scene that would cause someone to get expelled from the industry.

There was no hugging sef, the only held hand

See as dem just waste my data

Hausa n hypocrisy. Even Indian bollywood de cuddle n hug sef. I don't knw y northerners r bn too religious more than d ppl dat brought their religion.

And we r in the same country with this people. Kufiakwa. Pls give us Biafra

Hypocrites...can the person that signed this swear with his life that he has had nothing to do with a woman that he is not married to?'

I see no reason for giving these ladies to flow the strict interpretation of what ever, but the things you yourselves do are an aberration.

Let the news remain like this o. Let's not hear that her head or hand or leg don comot from her body o.

Meanwhile they couldn't summon courage to ban the likes of Ali Nuhu. Bunch of dickless Hippocrates.
