22 years old years Rahama Sadau was a graduate of business administration in Kaduna state polytechnic and joined the Hausa movie industry 'Kannywood' in 2013. She has featured many Kannywood movies, including super story ( a Wale Adenuga production) series. Rahama was banned recently from the Hausa film industry Kannywood, by the Motion Picture Practitioners Association of Nigeria (MOPPAN) on sunday, 2 October 2016 because of "hugging and cuddling" in a music video by 'Classiq' a Jos based popular pop star. MOPPAN concluded that the act was a violation of the code of ethics governing the industry, and thus she was banned.
Rahama's case was no exception as her disappointment turned to be a blessing for her. Many Nollywood producers showed their willingness to feature her in their production. Recently after the ban a producer Mo Abudu featured Rahama in her Ebonylife TV drama series which was premiered on 13th October 2016. According to her "We at Ebonylife Tv stand with Rahama Sadau and remain proud of the work she has done thus far. We believe that nobody is above mistake and we all deserve second Chances. We certainly hope that the ban is revoked so that Rahama can continue her career and blossom to get full potential". comment: vanguardng.
And on 15th October it was made made known that the international super star Akon, and US-based Nigerian film maker Jeta Amata invited her to visit the set of their new film in Hollywood-Los Angeles. This news was broken by Akon on his tweeter handle, when he tweeted "looking forward to seeing you in Los Angeles. Lets empower our women and motivate them to grow. Fanning them is cooler than banning them". Also a Hollywood actor and comedian Miguel Nunez also tweeted "we are going to have so much fun. One door closes another one opens I can't wait to see you. We are going to have a blast. You will become huge here". The super excited Rahama also tweeted back in expectance to the offer, she tweeted, "wow, I'm so humbled. Los Angeles calling...so excited about @ Jeta_amata mata and @akon invitation to visit the set of their new film in Hollywood!!#Rahamasadau, so excited".
I think a lesson should be learnt here that 'behind every disappointment there is a blessing', it only depends on whether you see it or not.
