Popular Nigerian actress Rahama Sadau has generated controversy after posting new set of pictures on her social media handles.
Sadau, who stars in both Kannywood and Nollywood films, posted the images on Twitter, generating thousands of comments within an hour.
However, the views expressed are as varied as the social media users responding them. Some of the views were in Hausa, forcing non-Hausa speakers to resort to Google translation for help.
@Alamin_Buru said on Twitter: “Can’t you see how young people are dying? Wallahi you should fear Allah. People are dying the old and the young. Where is Ibro today, where is Aisha Dankano, they are all dead. One you you will hear that I or even you are no more. Will be happy with this picture after you are gone?”
@bershier said, “Be patient and wear the hijab. It is more rewarding”
@Dennis_N_Amy said, “They have come out, Ndi Iberibe.”
@_Sufy2 said, “Rahama Sadau is an adult, she has people close to her who are religious. Whatever she post on social media is her choice. I fail to understand why some of you are obsessed with someone’s lifestyle. Let’s do what’s needful. Use this energy to tweet about the insecurity in the North.”
@Aleeyoumaradun said “We’ll write RIP to this picture when you passed away.”
@__usyy said, “The region that kept quiet despite all the killings that is going on has suddenly develop a courage to speak up about some Rahama Sadau pictures, You can’t speak about the killings but you can tell people how to dress. Arewa twitter lets wake up naa. #EndInsecurity #SecureNorth”
@Idrees_Abdoul said, “If you die without repenting, you won’t even smell paradise”
@AbbaYusufSaeed1 said “One day people will write “Rip” on these pictures. That day you will know that you broke God’s rules.”
@Cool_Ustaz said “The Holy Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Modesty is part of faith, and faith is in Paradise, but obscenity is a part of hardness of the heart and hardness of heart is in Hell.”(Mishkaat)
@Zagotweet said, “Rahama Sadau post half naked photo, at 47 minutes there was over 3K likes, 600 quoted replies and 600 retweets just pictures Ooo nothing else. Yet we begged you to tweet and retweet for the victims of banditry, kidnappings and Boko Haram you couldn’t shame on you.”
@MustyLatarima said, “It is at the Yaya Ali school that people learn to dress like this. The day when you will graduate and gain admission into the university of the angel of death you will know•
@shaayaualhassan said, “The Prophet SAW had described this type of women and said we should curse them for they are cursed and won’t even come near paradise. May Allah protect us.”
@rayyanalhassan1 said, “She won’t hear you, don’t waste your time”
@1stDauta said, “You see why no one takes your plight seriously on this street. You hardly speak up against bad governance, banditry and kidnapping happening in your region but when it involves Rahama Sadau’s photo you perch like vultures ready to devour. I’m not surprised. Hypocrisy live in y’all.”
@Dehkunle said: “Who else is here for the replies? Gather for popcorn” suggesting that he was having a good time reading through the replies.
It would be recalled that Rahama Sadau was banned by the Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (MOPPAN) in 2016 for hugging a musician Classiq in a video. The ban was eventually lifted in January 2018.
