Jide Kosoko Speaks On S3xual Exploitation In Nollywood, Urges Actors To Uphold Integrity

Veteran actor Jide Kosoko has addressed concerns about sexual exploitation in the Nigerian film industry, advising aspiring actors to maintain their self-respect and dignity.

Speaking on the Honest Bunch podcast, Kosoko emphasized that no one should feel compelled to compromise their values in pursuit of a movie role.

While acknowledging that some individuals may choose unethical means to advance their careers, he urged others to stand firm in their principles and avoid sacrificing their integrity for fame.

He said: “If I say I need you to come warm my bed before I can give you a particular movie role and you say you don’t want, just go, they cannot force you to do that. But if you want that role by all means…I know some ladies that come into the industry with determination that by the time I sleep with this person and that person I will get my name”.
