Who says there is no sexual harassment in Nigeria's movie industry,
Nollywood? Well, if you doubt, Ine Aju, Miss Independent has been there
and she knows.
If not for the incessant sexual harassment by Nollywood movies producers and directors,
actress and singer Ine Aju who is popularly called Miss Independent
would have been a bigger name in the entertainment industry.
The fact that the Cross River State born talented babe had refused all attempts by the men that called the shots in the industry, made them to sideline her and shun her when giving out movie roles.
Miss Independent therefore, decided to quit acting and concentrate on music and this is gradually paying dividends for her with the release of a single entitled No Forming.
But she is still bitter that she could not achieve her acting dreams due to the sexual harassment she faced in the industry.
This is how she put her disappointment;
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.
Recall that last week, a movie director, Aniedi Awah Noba had confessed that he and other directors and producers do sleep with actresses for movie roles.
But is this a norm?
