Hadiza Aliyu (listenⓘ), also known as Hadiza Gabon (born 1 June 1989 in Libreville, Gabon),[2] is a Nigerian professional actress and filmmaker who acts in both Hausa and English movies.[3] She serves as an ambassador for MTN Nigeria and Indomie noodles.[4][5] She was named best actress at 2013 Best of Nollywood Awards.[6] She won the 2nd Kannywood/MTN Awards in 2014. She is the founder of HAG Foundation.[6]

Early life and family

[edit]

Hadiza Aliyu was born on June 1, 1989, in Libreville, Gabon.[7] She is the elder statesman's daughter, Malam Aliyu. Hadiza Aliyu is of Gabonese descent on her father's side and Fulani ancestry from Adamawa State, Nigerian on her mother's side.[8] She attended primary and secondary schools in her birth country,[9] where she took her A-Level exams with the goal of becoming a lawyer. She later chose Law as her preferred degree course. She began her university year as a student, but had to withdraw due to some issues that hampered her studies. Aliyu's education was halted at the time, allowing her to pursue a diploma program in French language and later work as a French-language teacher in a private school.[10]

Acting career

[edit]

Aliyu joined Kannywood after arriving in Nigeria from Gabon. She relocated from Adamawa to Kaduna after deciding to join the Kannywood film industry with her cousin. Aliyu met Ali Nuhu a few days after arriving in Kaduna and asked for his help in becoming an actress.[11] She made her debut in Artabu in 2009, and quickly rose to prominence as one of the top leading female stars in the Hausa film industry.[12]

Aliyu, like Ali Nuhu, Sani Musa Danja, Yakubu Muhammed, Maryam Booth, and Rahama Sadau, decided to join Nollywood in 2017.[13] She appeared in her first Nollywood film, Lagos Real Fake Life, alongside Mike Ezuruonye, Mark Angel, and Emmanuella.[14][15][16]

Scandal

[edit]

In 2019 the chief magistrate court ordered the arrest of Aliyu over failure to appear in court to clear allegations against her by her colleague Mustapha Naburaska.[2]

In late 2022, Aliyu was also accused of breaking a promise she made to a man called Bala Musa, a civil servant in his late forties. He stated that they were in agreement to marry each other after he had spent N396,000 on her, but she refused after all. At the end she confirmed not to know the man at all.[3]

Aliyu has never been married. The daughter that has been said to be hers, is confirmed to be her niece, the daughter of her sister, Maryam Gabon.[4]

Gabon's Room Talk Show

[edit]

Gabon's Room Talk Show is a syndicated Hausa language talk show produced and hosted by Hadiza. It premiered on September 19,2022, with its debut episode featuring Dauda Kahutu Rarara and Sa'adatu Lawan as guests.[17] Inspired by Ellen and Koffee with Karan, Gabon's Room Talk Show gained significant attention. However, some critics have suggested that Hadiza lacks the necessary background and expertise to host a talk show. Despite these criticisms, the show remains a widely discussed and popular program.[18] The show explores topics relevant to Hausa-speaking audiences, including culture, entertainment, and social issues. It also features a diverse range of guest including celebrities, thought leaders, and influencers.[19][20]
