Kannywood actress Rahama Sadau caused a storm on Sunday with pictures of herself in a backless dress by Bintaberry.
The 26-year-old shared the pictures on social media, describing herself as “regal”.
Coming on the first day of November, she prayed that her followers “enjoy outstanding breakthroughs and joy this new month.”
Her choice of cloth did not go down with conservative Twitter users who accused her of dressing inappropriately.
Others, however, saw nothing wrong in her outfit, accusing what they call Arewa Twitter of misplaced priority in telling an adult woman how to dress while ignoring insecurity in northern Nigeria.
Rahama is no stranger to controversy.
She “banned for life from acting” by the Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (MOPPAN) for hugging rapper ClassiQ in a music video in 2016.
The ban was lifted in January 2018 following her “unreserved apology to the people of Kano state whose sensibilities she had abused by featuring in an amorous video,” MOPPAN said.
