Update On Séx For Roles Scandal In Nollywood

The complaints by Nigerians about the negative trend of asking for séx from young ladies before they get roles in Nollywood movies is not really a problem, according to Ugezu Ugezu, a movie director. In fact, he said “the situation is a positive development for the industry.”

Ugezu, who is also a writer and actor, was spotted in Tinapa, Calabar, during the Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF). Below is what he told a reporter about the increase in séx for roles scandal:

“Since those who need roles in films see nothing wrong in going for it that way, I also see nothing wrong in it. Artistes are different in the way they approach things to get what they want.”

I just wonder what Mr Ugezu will be teaching the young ladies working under him.
