Kannywood-ban; ‘stepping stone’ – Rahama Sadau
Rahama Sadau in a recent interview sees her expulsion from Kannywood as a “stepping stone” which brought her series of great opportunities.
She believes that “We have similar problems and are facing similar situations because at some point, they have to accept you and appreciate what you’re doing.”
“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.” She said.
Recall that Sadau was expelled for hugging ClassiQ in a music video, termed to be “immoral” by the Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (MOPPAN)
She seems to be on the spotlight in Nollywood, where she has featured in several productions including, The Light Will Come, Super Story, Sons of the Caliphate and recently, and the yet unreleased movie The Accidental Spy, with Ramsey Nouah
In her defense on the music video that resulted to her ban, Sadau said: “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.”
While speaking to Guardian, she revealed that she turned down a lesbian role because of where she comes from and her religion.
“I was asked to play a lesbian and I just felt a side of Rahama that couldn’t do it.
“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.”  She said.
Recall that her expulsion from last year sprung up mixed reactions as many criticized her while many sympathized with her. However Sadau sees herself in future to be like Angelina Jolie with Priyanka Chopra as her role model.

Body Language :: Hand to face gestures

The Mouth Guard The mouth guard is one of the few adult gestures that is as obvious as a child's. The hand covers the mouth and the thumb is pressed against the cheek as the brain sub-consciously instructs it to try and suppress the deceitful words that are being said. Sometimes this gesture may only be several fingers over the mouth or even a closed fist, but its meaning remains the same. Many people try to disguise the mouth guard gesture by giving a fake cough.If the person who is speaking uses this gesture, it indicates that he is telling a lie. If, however, he covers his mouth while you are speaking, it indicates that he feels you are lying! Nose Touching and Eye Rub The Nose Touch - In essence, the nose touch gesture is a sophisticated, disguised version of the mouth guard gesture. It may consist of several light rubs below the nose or it may be one quick, almost imperceptible touch. Like the mouth guard gesture, it can be used both by the spe...
