Do Upcoming Nollywood Actresses Give Sex for Roles?

I have read at least 3 newspaper interviews by Nigerian actresses who claim that they recieve sexual overtures no more often than girls in other industries, and it's up to them to say "yes" or "no"  And those claim they have always said "no" and it has not prevented them from getting good roles in Nigerian movies and becoming popular.

Because of that, I'm a little bit skeptical about Charles Okafor's claim here.  Maybe all he's saying is that some ladies use their sexual favours to get ahead of other female actresses who are not willing to do the same.  Not that the ladies are being forced, but that they're using their sexuality as a tool to get ahead of others in a very competitive industry.

The above interpretation might make more sense, or what do you think?

How true are those who denied publicly?

I quite agree with DE-KING,
Its everywhere

I've heard this happens, and I think its such a pity. Anyways, people would not admit to doing it. I hope that it can be stopped, though i doubt it.

Haba, seems like you really dislike this babe o? she carry ya money run Anywayz, there ain't no way that these so called Nigerian directors won't ask for sex, especially where them actresses are concerned. most of them are really beautiful and they'll want to try and see if they could score before givin them a job.

from who?

sj i heard ini edo is actually dating a sugadaddy, so i guess if she can sleep with an old man nothing will stop her from giving sex to some films directors....but i don't know!

in fact i said at last "BUT I DON'T KNOW". what i wrote was just a hypothesis if the rumors were true!

seeing that the same producer could probably have his way with lots of other women, who are not actresses, why do we care if he has his way with some actresses as well?

The sad part is, most of them don't. And even if they do, it'll be just for once or twice. So u see.... it really ain't worth it.

In my opinion i really think that some of these naija actresses give sex 4 roles b cause some of them even said it in newspapers and even its very obvious. And have u noticed they keep on repeating da same people over and over again God its annoying. Plus,i think those actresses are having sex 4 money b cause they don't ever get picked 2 play a role in a movie.

It makes perfect sense that specific actors and actresses are being used over and over by a director or really, a producer. . .especially if they are trying to groom someone to be the next best thing.

yeeepa haba is it everthing in naija that requires sex. is it in common nollywood they are sleeping around? if they get to hollywood i guess there'll tear their vagina for just a scene. come so is naija babes trying to tell me that thers no diginity in this country. y are they behaving like those crazy actress abroard. if they go on like this i think everthing including admitting your child in school will be by sex. make una continue. i said it! no wonder we use to see akamu and ogbolo actors and actresss these days. make them kuku tun am to sollywood (sex before acting) omo na wa o. woe betide all them directors. they will die of aids all of them . the day when them go go fck witch. and e thief their prek them go know.

I'm not too comfortable with the way he portrays the female artistes. So long standing actresses that have been around should not be looked upon as role models?And every successful female artiste is immoral, a prostitute etc? Thats what he implies.

And the directors and producers (as he was once one) who encourage women to give sex in exchange for roles, don't they have a part to play in this disturbing trend?
(quoted this from someone on another site, yes i be thief)

kind of found a little difficulty agreeing with him totally. its good that as human beings we don't completely generalized and look down on all as thesame. this type of stereotypism gets us no where and creates bad name for good people.

i've also heard about this sleeping around thing in the industry but i've never looked at any actress as one who would sleep with a director for the part she plays in a movie (because i don't know anyone that has slept with them, and i don't know their history or day to day living). we are women, most often (although irritating) we are approached with that offer, but as many have agreed to sleep with this disgusting directors, some have also declined such offers.

its unfortunate that most people just posted because of course coming from a pastor with a history in the movie industry, he obviously knows what his saying, right? but does he know each and every one of the actresses that has accepted and denied sexual offers for roles. abeg!!!!!! ,  we have to stop looking down on our women,  its getting ridiculous in this our todays society.

he made a good point, but u just don't categorize actresses like that. just because most people do it doesnt mean all do it. 

If this is true, then it certainly explains why we have certain very clumsy actresses in particular roles, That Eni Ido for explain who is a very native girl, she must have done a lot os "sleeping" in order to be brought to the lime light, she is so obviously a square Peck in a round hole.

I think Nigerian producers need to have higher standards so we don't scare away 'decent' people who want to act.
