Renowned Kannywood actor, Sadiq Sani Sadiq has stated that his primary goal in the film industry is to earn money, not to educate or instill moral values in people.
In an interview with Freedom Radio, the actor emphasized that he does not consider himself a moral teacher or educator through films.
“I never claimed to be educating people. I, Sadiq Sani Sadiq, never said I am spreading awareness. I am not teaching morals. Morals are taught at home, and religious scholars provide guidance. I am not an educator; I am here to earn money.”
He further stated that films have no religion or language, and everything depends on how a filmmaker presents their work.
“If your child watches my film and loses their moral values, that’s not my fault—it’s yours. Even if they don’t watch Hausa films, they will watch Indian movies or Western music videos with romantic scenes.”
Regarding the claim that women earn more than men in Kannywood, he said:
“Some women indeed earn more than some men. But wealth is private; just because someone owns luxury cars or wears expensive jewelry doesn’t mean they are the richest.”
