Unmarried Actresses in the Hausa Film Industry

It’s not because I promised to continue with the explanation of unmarried women in the film industry that I’ve changed the topic for this week, but rather because of things that keep happening in the industry without letting up. One of the things that I’d like to chat with you about is how film stars are falling over themselves in setting up numerous organizations, even as they keep collapsing, and what’s influencing this? We’ll talk about this later, but for today, let me finish up what I started previously.

Among the emerging leading ladies of film who have long remained unmarried is Ruƙayya Umar Santa, better known by the nickname Dawayya, the name she got from the famous role she played in the film “Dawayya”. She’s a leading lady who had been in the film business for a long time before she became famous; and while many of her close friends have since gotten married, and others have even begun having children, in her case, you hear only silence on the subject, like when the rain suddenly stops.

Something that people wonder about is what has caused this leading lady to stay single up to now, despite the fact that she is very marriageable and meets all the necessary requirements that a young woman needs to meet to be married.

First, when one considers looks and appearance, she’s considered striking, and even though Dawayya wasn’t selected as a beauty queen, one can still appreciate her. This leading lady is doubly educated, that is, with both Islamic and Western learning. Then there’s the way she dresses so beautifully, her smiles are as bright as a field of cotton. And when one speaks of the sway in her step, I’d say Dawayya gets the men wishing to gently caress her. She’s got young boyfriends by the bundle, just as Ɗanzaki has tons of young girlfriends. As for money, it is needless to say anything. Her mother she is out there in the Holy Land, married, and every year Dawayya goes and sees her. If that’s the way it is, then how does this leading lady stay single, without any suitors?

Those who follow the comings and goings of the film industry say that this leading lady dances to her own tune (indecisive), and that this is why she’s unable to settle down once and for all with a stable young man. They cite the example of how she and the talented singer Misbahu Ahmed were together for a long time; he was said to be the object of her steadfast devotion [“swimming in the river of her affection”], but her indecision left him angry and he ended up marrying someone else.

As investigation has revealed, the actor-director Sulaiman Sa’id was accused of being involved in breaking up this love affair between the two leading stars. It’s said that one day, they went to shoot a film in Jos, and that Dawayya got attached to him, such that wherever he happened to be, she was right there on this arm, like a bowstring to a bow. And so it was that a friend of Misbahu called him on the phone and told him everything that was going on. He lost his temper and sought to the matter clear by confronting her. But instead of showing regret, she was selfishly unmoved. At the time, it was all the talk in the Hausa film industry, and Suleiman Sa’id was said to have outdone Misbahu. He also didn’t hide the fact, and when it came out in a magazine, he revealed that the love affair between himself and Dawayya was indeed real, and that he was going to marry her. But time has shown that he deceived her, or one might say they deceived each other, since it has now been almost three years since this took place, and there’s been no talk of a wedding. Misbahu himself has since got married, forgetting that God had even created someone named Dawayya.

As for Dawayya, she continues to stay single, making plans for more films, and she has accepted living in the line-up of the film industry’s unmarried women. Anyone interested?

Of course, Dawayya is hardly the only single woman in the industry. There are energetic women like Mansura Isah and Maryam Abubakar Jan Kunne, women who keep claiming the love of the famous actor Sani Danja. Whom among them would he marry? There’s also the leading lady Safiya Musa, whose star is shining brightly. Not long ago she speculated that Yakubu Lere would marry her, but lately we’ve heard only silence on the matter. Why is this so?

Besides them, there are leading stars like Kuburah Dhako, Maryam Hiyana and Muhibbat Abdussalam: all of them single and playing active roles in Hausa films. They are also in the company of unmarried women in the industry. So what is it that causes them to hold back and stay single? Why won’t they follow in the footsteps of other female stars such as Abida Muhammad, Maijidda Abdulƙadir, Wasila Isma’il, Maijidda Ibrahim and others? Because all of these enthusiastic women of film kept from their girlfriends, the secret that they had married and even had children.

People who watch Hausa films have continued to gossip a great deal, saying that it’s appropriate for every girl who enters the film industry, if she plays her role, to just find a husband to marry while she’s in the prime of her youth, before her star fades. But if she lets herself remain single, God will still be kind, except that she will come to be like tumbleweed, rolling from one car to another or from this town to another. She will only end up attending this or that gala reception, or just visiting girlfriends constantly! A woman has two secrets: her husband’s bedroom and her final resting place.

May God protect us from remaining single without a darned good reason!

Unmarried Actresses in the Hausa Film Industry

Nigerian films emerged in the 1960s, along with names such as Ola Balogun, and Hubert Ogunde. The developing movie industry has been growing with modern technology in recent years, and now, Nollywood is turning into a multi-billion dollar film industry, which CNN ranks as third in the world. Local languages like Hausa, Yoruba and Ibo are used in movies that offer their wide and diverse audiences characters they can identify with and stories that reflect their daily lives, including moral dilemmas facing Africans in general. Nigerian movies are gaining popularity throughout Africa and the world with the use of the English language. Some movies promote religion, but, in a society where both culture and religion sometimes relegate women to a social status that does not really empower them, the acting profession is not so easy.

               <eng-response>The author of this editorial presents us with a critical description of single actresses in the Nigerian film industry.  A woman like Ruqayya, who is a smart, beautiful, and successful actress, has not yet satisfied her fans because she is single.  She is blamed for her boyfriend’s marriage to another woman.  Mansura and Maryam, some other actresses who are also single, are seen as unstable and unable to live the lifestyle that society, like the author, sees as ideal and best for a woman: to get married like Abida and Wasila, also actresses. The fact that some actresses are unmarried hinders actors' ability to organize stable professional groups, the author comments.</eng-response>
               <response>Marubucin wannan shafin ra'ayin yana bada bayyani  kan rayuwar ƴan mata na idustirin fim yayinda yake soka ra'ayi kan rayuwar su.

               <eng-fdbk>Incorrect.  This choice is not correct because it misinterprets the author's statement about the impact actresses' marital status has on the profession. He does not confirm a correlation between actresses being single and actors' failed attempts to form professional groups.  Please think about his introduction. How does he address this idea?</eng-fdbk>

               <eng-response>This editorial addresses the moral dilemma of unmarried female celebrities in the Nigerian film industry with a rather sarcastic presentation of their social status. They may be beautiful, knowledgeable, and successful like Ruqayya Umar, but the fact that they are not married casts a shadow over those qualities.  They strive to live in an inquisitive world where marriage seems to be the only way to gain acceptance and avoid being seen as an outcast. Mansura Isah, Kuburah, and Maryam should follow Maijida’s example; girls should think about getting married after spending some time in the profession in order to fit into society.  Unmarried actresses live a life of debauchery that should be avoided by younger actresses, he concludes.</eng-response>
               <eng-fdbk>Correct!  This choice is correct because it gives a pertinent representation of the text, addressing the main idea, which is the controversy over actresses and celibacy in the Nigerian film industry, and the author's use of satire in his vocabulary.</eng-fdbk>

               <eng-response>This is an editorial about Nigerian actresses and their controversial lifestyles, which the author, like society, condemns. Actresses seem to refuse to get married and instead live a disrespectful lifestyle that prevents them from fitting into society, despite being admired for their performances.  Ruqayya’s inconsistency in relationships is to blame, not her former boyfriend or her new one.  Many other actresses who are single at an advanced age are seen as hindering not only their own integration in society, but also as problematic to the industry because it cannot manage their activities.  Actresses should not be single, as it does not teach respect to younger actresses and future professionals, the author concludes, depicting celibacy as a curse.</eng-response>
               <eng-fdbk>Incorrect.  This choice is not correct because it misinterprets the author's concluding comments about celibacy and actresses.  Please read the last paragraph again. What is the author's observation?</eng-fdbk>
