Rabi’u Rikadawa Early Life

I was born on the second day of February 1972 in Kaduna State in the north of Nigeria.

My father is from Godiya in Kabo Local Government Area, and my mother comes from Rikadawa in Madobi Local Government Area, both in Kano State.

At an early age, I was sent far away from home to study the Qur’an, a practice called ‘Almajiranci’. I came home after completing my studies.

At that point, I told my parents that I wanted to pursue a Western education, but my father, in particular, opposed it.

Nevertheless, even though my brother and I are significantly larger than our classmates, we were registered in school with the help of one of my grandparents. I had trouble understanding what was being taught at first.

I improved gradually and became the best student in my class. Because I already had an adult body at that point, I was pressured to write my common admission exam before my peers.

My brother, in the meantime, left school to pursue other interests.

I took a secondary school enrollment after my common entry. My acting talent was discovered throughout my time in secondary school.

Rabi’u Rikadawa Rise To Fame

It was in high school that I first became involved in acting. My passion for acting was quite great when I was a child or young man growing up, and it showed in practically all of my activities, thus I was a member of the Hausa play club in our school.

During one of our school breaks, I had the good fortune to participate in a theatrical program that was initiated by the first radio station in northern Nigeria, which is now Kaduna State Broadcasting Corporation (KSBC), previously known as Northern Nigeria Broadcasting Corporation (NBC).

The drama known as “Bagiringirin ba” rose to fame in northern Nigeria during the time.

I was lucky enough to have a major role in that drama as a young adult, and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) in Kaduna invited us because of the drama’s popularity.

I worked with a producer named Sabo Sulaiman, but he put me in the current affairs unit and had me appear in a show called “Brain Trust” rather than the drama team.

After a while, I was taken to pursue my passion, which is drama. Later on, I started writing and producing drama scripts.

I was in secondary school during this entire time. After that, I joined the NTA and was involved in a children’s drama that was supported by UNICEF.

The title read, “Leave them be.” Up to my secondary school graduation, I was employed by the NTA.

When I finished secondary school, I decided to keep doing what I was doing. A major contributor to the redesigned Television Festival (Telefest) was me.

I also participated in “Tales by Moonlight,” one of the most well-known children’s dramas. I distinctly recall that one of the producers encouraged me to continue my studies, so I did, attending TV College and earning a diploma in television production.

I participated in “Dila,” one of the top drama programs on television, while I was at NTA.

When DITV, an independent television network, was first created, one of my NTA supervisors encouraged me to give it a shot while I was still there. I applied, and my records showed that I was hired as a producer.

Later on, I realized that I couldn’t continue to be a family guy and work for an organization. I decided to pursue my acting profession and quit the station as a result.

I entered the acting business full-time in this manner, and it has been my main source of income ever since.

cherished experience as an actor

I will never forget the honor my late father bestowed on my line of work. My father advised people to see me to promptly resolve their difficulties whenever they came to him for help with matters involving businessmen or high government officials.

My father’s confidence in the profession was surpassed by my confidence in its impact.

The positive thing is that we always won when we followed my late father’s advice.

It helped me realize that recognition among fellow members of a society is more important than the quantity of wealth one acquires there.

My favorite memory from this life will always be being recognized by none other than my father as someone who possesses such recognition.

Second, being singled out for recognition by former Vice President Professor Yemi Osinbajo was another unforgettable experience for me as an actor.

The vice president said, “Where is that man, Rikadawa?” after everyone had introduced themselves at the gathering of Kannywood practitioners at the Villa.

He stated he could still clearly recall my face from the Tales by Moonlight drama when I got up.

I had no idea what we had been up to throughout those years, so I was shocked. They are still recalled by people.

I learned from that one-of-a-kind experience to keep doing what I was doing because acting is a valuable profession.

Views of the entertainment industry in Hausa

The Hausa entertainment sector has advanced significantly, particularly Kannywood. I have to admit that the industry has made some amazing progress, but more work still has to be done.

It’s time for all of us in the business to view our work as a career rather than a pastime. I participated in several TV programs, including Adventure of Waziri, Tales by Moonlight, and Magana Jari (English version).

I’ve worked in the field for a respectable amount of time.

As I often say, let’s increase our knowledge to advance our careers. I’m not backing down from this call because the world is changing.

You can attest to the fact that those with higher levels of education, such as Ali Nuhu and Rahama Sadau, are where they are now.

Kannywood and Nollywood’s similarities

You know, it was our passion for drama that led those of us who founded this company many years ago.

But things began to take shape and change over time into something else entirely.

Something unusual, in my opinion, is that people began to prioritize financial concerns. Nowadays, people get money from the work they do.

While they differ in content, Kannywood and Nollywood are similar in context. I got cast in the film “Dry” directed by Stephanie Okereke. I appear in the TV show “Beyond the Veil” on Amazon.com.

I have performed in several Kannywood and Nollywood productions. That, in my opinion, has granted me the authority to comment on both.

Unfortunately, Kannywood’s lack of sponsors is a result of its subpar narratives and practitioners’ limited exposure.

The Hausa entertainment industry will take longer to reach its goals if investors do not pour money into Kannywood.

Scripts that speak just to the Hausa people are not what the industry needs; what it needs are well-written stories that will speak to everyone. It was a dearth of compelling narratives that forced the business to YouTube.

The key to your achievement

As an actor, I don’t believe I have any secrets. But typically, I make sure I know what the movie’s plot is about before I head to the set.

I make sure to play the full movie concept, even if I just have a few scenes to play since I have a name, a culture, and a religion to uphold. That being said, that might be my secret if I had one.

I will always stand by my recommendation that practitioners pursue education, and I won’t stop advocating for this.
