Sexification And Hypocrisy In Nollywood And The Nigerian Music Industry by churific(m): 10:36pm On May 25, 2015
We are hypocrites. We criticized the West for sexualization and indecency for years ways and then we over-emulate them. Today Nollywood and the Nigerian music industry are all about money, sex and butt-cheeks. The sexification of women is out of control and does not equate to forward-thinking!

But what many see as "sexual liberation" for Nigerian women is actually a clever, Generation Y-ass-kissing guise. Nollywood and the Nigerian Music Industry are capitalizing on the fact that SEX SELLS while spinning the "liberation" excuse to the public. They say it's about time women have the FREEDOM to show their sexuality, to portray sex on-screen, to show themselves in scantily clad outfits, and of course, pelvic thrust to songs where men surround them, ogling at their derrieres and cleavage.



There is good reason why Nollywood actresses and music video vixens assent to this excuse- because for them, it IS freedom. THEY ARE liberated. They can show their bodies, dance erotically, and talk brazenly on-screen, because they are women of POWER. They are in a position unique to just a minuscule percentage of the population. They have financial freedom, ample protection surrounding them, and are, for the most part, educated. What this new "revolution" in Nollywood and the Nigerian Music Industry has done for them is made it EASIER to be unabashed and unapologetic, a right EVERY woman should have.



But the reality is, 90% of the Nigerian female population will never reap the benefits of this "sexual revolution" that Nollywood and the Nigerian Music industry is trying to impose, without thought, on its country. In Nigeria, women are still marginalized and still considered tools for reproduction and objects of desire for the purposes of deriving pleasure from. Beyond that, women are largely not valued.
