Rahama Sadau faced Twitter backlash for her mode of dressing in the latest photos she shared via social media.
The kannywood movie star took to her Twitter on Sunday, November 1, where she treated her fans to a new photoshoot with celebrity photographer George Okoro, but instead of receiving usual hearty compliments, Sadau has come under fire for wearing a backless dress.
The criticisms were from northern-Nigerian users, popularly known as ‘Arewa Twitter’ who began to lash at the ‘Shuga’ actress over her looks. For many of them, the photos were provocative and against the principles of their religion.
While others were of the school of thought that the energy used in slamming Sadau should be used in fighting banditry and other vices in the Northern part of the country.
In 2016, Sadau entered the limelight after she appeared in a music video with singer Classiq where they apparently got too steamy.
Immediately after the project was released, it sparked a huge online controversy causing the Kano branch of Motion Pictures Association of Nigeria (Moppan) to ban her from the Kannywood industry.
Here are some of the reactions from Twitter:

[Quran 7:26] "O children of Adam, we have provided you with garments to cover your bodies, as well as for luxury. But the best garment is the garment of righteousness. These are some of God's signs, that they may take heed."

Rahama Sadau is probably the most immoral & indecent Arewa Twitter lady. That post was totally wrong and she'll explain that to her creator. This isn't the first time she did this & we're sinners too, but it's better to cover ur sin private than make it public. Allah ya shirya.

If your threats and bullying are what would inspire Rahama Sadau to be a model Muslim, she would’ve long conformed. No sane person would take advice from indecorous morality police dispensing threats as tools of guidance. She obviously considers you a source of entertainment now.

Rahama sadau’s dressing was against the arewa culture and Islam but she’s not our problem now. Bandity and boko haram is, let’s focus on that !!

Rahama Sadau isn’t being called to order, she’s being harassed, insulted, bullied, threatened and dehumanized in the name of the very Islam that asks you to “Call people to the path of your Lord with wisdom and good advice and argue with them in the most courteous way…” Q16:125 https://t.co/RBnKbbYno4

Rahama Sadau is an adult, she has people close to her who are religious. Whatever she post on sm 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

📎 The key is : Learn how to BE HAPPY BY YOURSELF FIRST. Because a human being that is happy on his/her own will never settle to be miserable with someone else. When you find happiness on your own then you will be able to spread it and share it with someone else. ... CRITIC ALSO 🖋️ spill TEA ☕ Easy on Shade 💣If only Arewa Twitter used this energy they used in condemning Rahama Sadau "indecent dressing" to speak up against killings and insecurity in the north I'm sure the north would be a very peaceful place to live in by now.
Humans doing assistant Allah job is crazy though.
