On a script she had to turn down
"I was asked to play a lesbian and I just felt a side of Rahama that couldn’t do it."
On most memorable role
"I played a Christian nun in a convent in a film called "Tatu."
"Wow, it was a totally different side to Rahama, quite different from what people are used to seeing. The covered, conservative Rahama is now a Christian; I mean I loved the role.

"I went to Corinthians International school, so, all in all ,it wasn’t too different. I just stepped into the character and became that role."
On turning down scripts
"Yes I have my limitations like I said, there are certain things I wouldn’t do because of where I come from and the religion I stand for.
"If I show that I am ignorant of things, I have family and I know what the people in the north are capable of, that’s why I am being careful."

"There hasn’t been much difference working in Nollywood. Perhaps the people are different, and the environment, similar stories and cultures."
