Rita Daniel, mother of teenage actress, Regina
Daniels in a recent interview addressed the issue of sex roles in Nollywood.
In her words, she said;
“When
you talk about sex for role, it has to do with an individual. There’s
nowhere that it does not exist. In the entertainment industry, people do
a lot of funny things to get what they want.
I believe it is an individual thing. If you feel sex is what will take you up there, fine, go ahead.
But know that whatever takes you up there that is not God’s will, will
certainly crash. Definitely, when you are up there with God’s help,
nobody will pull you down.
Anything you get from an illicit affair does not end well.
How
did it get this bad in the movie industry and who is to be blamed
“Nobody is to be blamed. If producers ‘toast’ you, maybe it’s okay but
sometimes the girls are the ones ‘toasting’ the producers.
So, who
is to be blamed then? A man has the right to say ‘bring your body’; a
woman has the right to say ‘no’. It is a two-way thing. If it is rape,
it is a different thing.”
