It was on Monday 20th July, 2020 that I published my review of the Kannywood movie, NISAN KWANA. The review was relatively short but turned out to attract the attention of several people who expressed their divergent views about it. After going through the comments, I discovered that the review was misunderstood by many--- likely for its short nature. I, therefore deem it necessary to provide a logical explanation for all the remarks I made in it. I first analysed the film's title "NISAN KWANA". I declared that it was used for another film in 2010. I didn't mean to denounce it but to make readers aware of the fact that there is another film with similar title. This is a crucial fact which, I thought, should be identified--- at least for the two films not to be confused! I then related the two films and remarked that " While the first NISAN KWANA (Dir. Aminu saira 2010), aptly captured the tittle, this NISAN KWANA only leaves the audience wondering why i...

Director: Yaseen Auwal Producer: Umar Sani Lawan Company: UK entertainment Cast: Sadiq Sani Sadiq, Rahama Sadau, Umar Gombe, Amina Amal, Fati Shu'uma, Musa Mai Sana'a e.t.c Release date: 2019 The titles of many kannywood productions are not original. They are mostly plagiarized. However, there are instances where the films are titled without checking whether or not the titles were used before, and as a result, multiple films end up having similar titles. The movie NISAN KWANA is just another addition to that list as the title was already used by Aminu Saira in 2010. While the first NISAN KWANA (Dir. Aminu saira 2010), aptly captured the title, this NISAN KWANA only leaves the audience wondering why it was given the same name, for the storyline and the title are clearly at opposite poles. It tells the story of a couple whose first night as lawfully wedded is ruined because, three ladies are abducted on the way to their wedding dinner. Among the abductees, one is t...

Director: Falalu A. Dorayi Producer: Tahir I. Tahir Company: Prince Zango Production Cast: Falalu A Dorayi, Halima Atete, Adam A. Zango, Hajara Haidar, Sulaiman Bosho. Release date: 10th October, 2019 The occurrence of Marital jealousy is natural in polygamous homes for obvious reasons. Feuds and fights always arise between the co-wives. As a result, most women are frightened into taking protective measures to retain their monogamous homes. In their effort to achieve that, some excessively jealous women go to the extent of interfering in the personal affairs of their husbands to eliminate any perceived threat of having a co-wife. This brings a change in the dimension of the marital jealousy to aggression and violent attacks on husbands by their wives even prior to the remarriage. On 18th November, 2017, Maryam Sanda was remanded in custody for killing her huband, Bilyaminu Bello. While she was on trial, which lasted until January 2020, a similar incident occurred again...

People are often sceptical about ideas that go beyond their reasoning. Yet, we the faithful believe in miracles, simply because they are caused by the omnipotent God. However, being that miracles are incompatible with the ordinary laws of nature, they are philosophically questioned by, needless to say, atheists and those with cracks in their faiths. This argument is addressed in the film entitled Karamin sani (Little knowledge) The film is an adaptation of a true life story of a man who supposedly lived in two distinct worlds concurrently. This is reported in many Islamic books to proclaim the reality of 'miracles'. The film begins from a far away village called Saye, where a woman gave birth to a two headed baby. The villagers were bemused by the strange birth. One imam malam liman (Hussaini Sule koki) in his comments about the issue narrated more astounding situations God could create but his companion, malam Ladan (Adam A. Zango) found the narrations implausible...

The eponymous movie Hauwa Kulu is a masterpiece, one of the best films to come out of the Hausa film industry, aka Kannywood. It is a tragic, melodramatic social drama that addresses the issue of rape, which is a boiling issue in our society today. It is also a film that has attracted critical attention, especially from ‘feminists’, NGOs, other critics for its dramatic exposé of the complex politics involved in rape cases and its possible impact on the Nigerian cinema. The extraordinary plot, which is the driving force of this movie, narrates the story of a beautiful village girl, Hauwa Kulu (Hassana Muhammad), whose blind father (Abba El-Mustapha) wanted her to be well educated. He later decided to marry her off to avoid the plan of the lecherous Village Head, Maigari (Bashir Nayaya) who has a lustful feeling for her. Before the marriage, the unrelenting Maigari raped her, an event that brought tragedy into her life. After the rape, she got Vesicovaginal fistula (involuntary ur...
