You’ve disrespected me, my religion and everything that I represent”
A Muslim lady identified as Adiba Hayah on TikTok has called out Nollywood actress Nancy Isime for using Niqob in an upcoming movie project.
Two days back, Nancy had, via her Instagram page, promoted her upcoming project. In photos she posted online, the talented movie star was captured wearing a niqab and holding a gun in some of the photos and another photo, she was captured with her cast members, one of whom wore hijab for a robbery scene.
Not pleased with it, a Muslim lady via her TikTok page lashed out at the actress for disrespecting her, her religion and everything that she represents.
She told the movie star that Niqob isn’t a costume and shouldn’t be used to promote despicable things in society. She noted how Muslims are going through a lot in society with hardship and tribal problems, and they don’t need religious war to be added to it.
She made Nancy know that Niqob isn’t clothing but a lifetime of religious books, representing the character and embodiment of righteous women. She expressed how sick and tired she was of people who do not share the same values as them, use their outfits for their selfish interest in a despicable way. She stated that Nancy and Co had chosen to defame, diminish and belittle the entire character of Muslim women all over the world as she questioned when this would stop.
