Kannywood actress, Rahama Sadau, who recently gained her grounds in Nollywood, due to a sanction ban from the Northern movies practitioners, has been speaking about her life as an actor, and on the issue of child marriage.Asked what she had done or what she thinks can be done to change the perspective of getting children into marriage at an early age in the Northern part, the actress revealed that even she almost got married at the age of 13.
“Some of us have been fighting against early marriage and girl child education, though it is a very sensitive issue. Whenever you talk against early child marriage, religion will definitely come in. So, it is very sensitive.
“On my part, I’m trying to create awareness by sitting with parents to enlighten them. In my own case, I almost got married at the age of 13. So many things happened. But we are working on it.”
On how she survived that period, she said: “For me, I will always be grateful to my mum. She always wants us to achieve.”
