Chief Chinwetalu Agu is a veteran actor, writer, comedian and movie
producer, who came into limelight through two popular NTA soaps, Baby
Come Now in Enugu and Ripples in Lagos 31 years ago. He hails from
Amokwe in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State. The Enugu State born
actor, responding to question on why there are sexual harassment in
Nollywood, said it’s a general phenomenon and not limited to Nollywood
alone.
he said that,‘’what I see happening has to do with
nature, not just Nollywood. For instance, if you are passing along the
road, and see an attractive lady, will you not turn your neck to her
direction to have a second glance? Everybody likes beautiful things. Men
particularly appreciate beautiful women, and our Nollywood ladies are
well endowed. So these things happen in all facets of the society. What
of the one that government officials organise girls, popularly called
weekend chics every weekend to have fun, money exchange hands in bundles
because they get this money so freely? They throw the money as if it is
of no value again and when some of them can’t sleep with them because
of their old age, they just sit down in their hotel room and permit the
ladies to cat walk or dance nude before them. So, all these are not just
in Nollyhood because people watch them act this role in their movies
and address them the same way. It is not peculiar to Nollywood; it has
to do with nature.’’
