Sexual Harassment Is Rampant In Nollywood

Many big actresses who have made it already are claiming that there are no cases of séxual harassment in movie industry, at least to cover themselves so people wont say they also did it, but some young ones who are not so desperate are trying to expose the mess and probably stop it.
One of such actress is Banke Adewunmi. She said séxual harassment is very real in Nollywood:
“There’s sexual harassment in the Industry. It’s not easy making it without being séxually harassed. Some people think its like trade by barter. It’s real. There should be a level playing ground for all without attaching any dirty conditions. People should be allowed to showcase their God-given talents without any hindrance.”
IMO: Its so pathetic because its not making it easy or even possible for us to spot the real talents in the entertainment industry.
The so called Producers and Marketers will rather give the role to whoever is ready to be their bedmate……..
This really has to stop and its not a battle of just these innocent and talented actors, we have to join them in fishing out all those bad apples denying us a Julia Roberts like or another Genevieve, Omotola, Kate Henshaw and co.
If you have any sexual harassment experience and you’re willing to share, please email me at yusuffoluwagbamila@gmail.com

I Quit Acting Because of Sexual Harassment says Actress/Singer Miss Independent

Not too long ago, a film director said there was nothing wrong in producers and directors sleeping with actresses on movie sets.
This he stated claiming if the affair is mutually agreed, no man should be prosecuted for such.
But the resolve of Cross River state-born sexy actress-cum-singer, Ine Aju, aka Miss Independent, to change the face of hip-hop music in Nigeria seems to be looking good. With the release of her hit single, ‘No forming’, which is gradually becoming every DJ’s favourite, Miss Independent certainly has an ace to play.
Speaking on the single and why she has decided to go more for music than acting, the graduate of Benue State University said, “Music has always been what I had in mind while growing up. My new track, ‘No Forming’, is a very interesting dance hall music which talks about how I pay my bills.
“I chose the title because it explains my kind of person. I do not ‘form’; I do my things in my own way. I quit acting for music because I was not getting the kind of roles I wanted and also the constant sexual abuses from producers. I still have plans to go back to acting in a bigger way. My fans should expect more singles and nice videos from me.”
