Tonto Dikeh explains why Nigerian actresses are labeled prostitutes

Tags

The acting profession in Africa has generally been seen as a profession for
promiscuous individuals. The Nigerian movie industry, Nollywood, is not left out
of this misconstrued belief. The female folks in the industry are however on the
receiving end in this. From dressing seductively, to romantic gestures, to
kissing, fondling and partying to the camera, actresses are always seen as
prostitutes.

Rumored link ups of actresses to politicians over time have also not helped
matters. Little wonder a good number of upcoming and veteran actresses
have confessed to have found it quite difficult convincing their parents of their
passion for the craft and not the promiscuity the industry has been labeled
with.
The recent outburst of screen diva, Tonto Dike, after she allegedly caught an
actress with her best friend’s husband on a trip in Dubai has added more icing
to the cake. The actress who was pained took to her Instagram page to bear
her grievances.
