She further detailed how it’s very dangerous to see young girls who don’t have rigid financial roots strive for a possible peak in Nollywood.
Her words:
“I met a 14-year-old girl wearing a short skirt, crop top and working under another young guy on the movie set who claims to be a make-up artist.”
“Her parents are far away in Port Harcourt and she came to Lagos last year. She sleeps in different hotel rooms with whoever agrees to accommodate her every night and is not willing to go back to her parents.”
“This girl told me that she is here to learn but trust me, I know the industry and it is not a safe place for young girls.”
She captioned the clip: “DISCLAIMER!!! This goes to the CELEBRITIES AND MOVIE PRODUCERS PLEASE SAY NO TO CHILD LABOUR and keep the industry Secure.
