Nigerian actress, Chidiebere Aneke, has advised her fellow actresses not to go through back doors in a bid to get movie roles.
The actress stated this in an interview with Punch while speaking about alleged sexual harassment in Nollywood.
She stated that no sexual harassment incident has reported to her.
She said “There are some people that come online to say that producers asked them for sex before they could be given roles in their movies. However, no one has personally come to report such an incident to me.
“What I will advise as the way forward is that people who say producers ask them for sex should stop going to the producers’ rooms, when they don’t have anything to do there. Whenever there are calls for auditions, these actresses should not go in through the back door.”
Speaking on the lessons learnt so far, Chidiebere added “The lessons I have learnt so far include the fact that humility and self-development are very important. I have also learnt to be humble; and not arrogant, because pride goes before a fall.
Additionally, I have learnt to always develop myself and stop living for the validation of other people. It is very important for one to focus on developing oneself.
I have learnt the importance of planning as well. I believe no venture can succeed without a solid plan to back it up. Whether it’s acting, doing business or anything at all, one has to plan properly. This will enable one to have a clear vision of one’s goals.”
