Rahama Sadau a young actress in the predominantly Muslim region of Northern Nigeria has just been expelled by the motion picture guild of the country for "hugging a man" in a music video.

Last year, Rahama was given a 6 months suspension by MOPPAN for filling a sexual harassment claim against a male actor.

Our region, Northern Nigeria is suffering from a seven year insurgency led by Bokoharam (the most deadly terrorist group in terms of victims in all of history), a group inspired by the same puritanical ideology that guides those that suspended Rahama. The expulsion of Rahama Sadau will be send millions of young Northern Nigerian girls like me (who see her as an inspiration) backwards. Girls will be made to think that they can not do what a man does.
