Veteran Nollywood actor Jide Kosoko has shared his thoughts on the controversial topic of sex-for-roles in the Nigerian film industry. According to Kosoko, some actresses intentionally enter the industry with the goal of using sexual relationships to advance their careers.
Kosoko emphasized that no one can be forced into engaging in sexual exchanges for roles, and that the decision ultimately rests with the individuals involved. While acknowledging that making such demands is inappropriate, he stated that if an actress chooses to engage in such behavior, it is her own decision.
The actor also claimed that some women exploit these situations to gain recognition in Nollywood, even mentioning that he knows of some popular actresses who have done so. Kosoko’s comments have sparked a conversation about the complexities of the sex-for-roles issue in Nollywood.
