Following the successful completion of his magnificent house, Frontline Kannywood director Malam Aminu Saira organised a grand housewarming ceremony to express his joy and gratitude to God for the blessings bestowed upon him.
The ceremony was held yesterday, Friday, at the palatial house located in Sharada NNDC Quarters in Kano city.
The event, which held from 5:00 p.m. until after sunset, was attended by top Kannywood stakeholders, including actors and directors, as well as relatives and friends.
While delivering his welcome address, Saira stated: “I called this gathering and organised this feast to express gratitude over the opportunity Allah gave me to complete the construction of my house, which to me is the most important achievement in my life at this moment.
“Thank God, the work on this place has now been completed, so I thank everyone who honoured my invitation, because I can see here many loved ones whom I had not seen for a long time.
“Without doubt, the faces I see here today are very important to me, because my elders at home, my colleagues at work, and even my childhood friends have all come together here. I am deeply grateful—may Allah preserve our relationships.”
Guests were served a variety of luxurious dishes, with everyone eating to their satisfaction.
Afterwards, guests were taken on a tour of every part of the house to see its design and facilities. The house is a two-storey building comprising sections for his family, his mother, and his children.
There is also a guest reception area, the Saira Movies office, a studio, and other facilities.
Indeed, the house can be described as an earthly paradise. Despite the many grand houses built by film practitioners, if there were a house competition in Kannywood today, Malam Aminu Saira would undoubtedly win.
Anyone who sees the house, both inside and outside, will know that a great deal of money was spent on it.
Film personalities who attended the event included Hamisu Lamiɗo Iyan-Tama, Bala Anas Babinlata, Salisu A. Fulani, Abdullahi Hikima, Abale, Yasir Auwal, Nura Mado, and the host’s younger brother, the famous singer Naziru M. Ahmad, among others.
Everyone offered prayers for Allah to grant continued success to Saira.
