Aminu saira biography

“Awards are normally the celebration of cinematic achievements of a given year.” Writes Aaramz in MTN/Kannywood Awards: A Night To Remember after the flawed 2013 MTN/Kannywood awards. One year and 2 month old, there’s a sense of Deja vu.

To be eligible for nomination in any category, a movie must meet some certain requirements among which the period within which the movie was released. This is significant. Therefore, any movie that goes down or beyond the given year is to be considered invalid or not qualified. To me, so many movies were selected based on sentiment and selfish. Ignoring the ethics of what a credible award means to the career of an actor or filmmaker. If not, why would a movie that was released in 2013 be contesting for 2014 awards?

Let’s say may be a producer is unwise to have registered his movie, but the judges are so injudicious to have nominated it to the finals. The most annoying thing was 2015 movies nominated for 2014 awards. You may begin to ask yourself is the award going to cover only 2014 as said? Or is it 2013 to 2015? What happen to the previous one?

We also noticed that so many filmmakers attempted submitting their 2013 movies but were rejected. Later on, after some reviews and what is call “meeting after meeting” some, of

Aminu Saira

Born Aminu Muhammad Ahmad on April 20, 1979 (Age: 45 years old) in Gwammaja, Kano, Nigeria
Occupation Director

As movie making becomes more and more familiar with Kannywood followers, people are now beginning to appreciate the role of a director, and once you mention that word to any follower of the industry now the first person that comes to his mind is Aminu Saira. He needs no further introduction. He’s the pioneer revolutionist of today’s Kannywood.

At the time when kannywood was at a point of total collapse due to production of senseless movies that only casted many actors singing, dancing and praising themselves, I came across a movie called “Rayuwata” which starred Ali Nuhu and Ibrahim Maishunku. I was so amazed that a movie like that could actually be made in Kannywood at that time. After watching the movie, I made sure I checked who the director was, I saw a strange name called Aminu Saira. I wasn’t optimistic at first because that was how another directorial talent Ashiru Nagoma started before he switched himself to camping and starring hundreds of actors with no particular role in a single movie. I then saw “Almajira” and it was still that Aminu Saira, I started getting optimistic but still not raising my hopes high. Soon the Hiyana scanda
