Nollywood Director Insists There’s No Big Deal In Directors Sleeping With Actresses

Nollywood director, Aniedi Awah
Noba’s name might not ring a bell but people in Nollywood know him well. Aniedi
isn’t known because he is always behind the scene, directing and dictating who
takes which role. Well, in an interview with Vanguard, Aniedi says there is no
big deal in directors sleeping with actresses, after all a man can meet a woman
anywhere and do the thing, stressing it’s only a matter of understanding. Here is
what he told Vanguard…

“If a director is a man and the actress is a woman and they
find themselves attracted to each other, they’re permitted to do anything
because they are adults. Where it becomes bad is when one person puts a gun on
the other person’s head and make unhealthy demands through some blackmail. 

S*xual issues are not things you can really predict because
they are human related. Anybody can sleep with anybody anywhere in the world as
far as it’s an agreeable venture. So if I’m a director and I see an actress and
I say I want to sleep with you and the actress agrees I don’t see anything
wrong with that.

Where it becomes bad is when I say I will not give you a job
until I sleep with you. Now, we over-flog this issue of directors sleeping with
actresses. A man will meet a woman anywhere, any day and they will sleep with
each other. Let anybody sleep with anybody they want, life goes on. Let’s just
do the work”.
