Popular Nigerian actress, Omobewaji Oyediji, aka Mo Bewa, has dismissed rumour that actresses are being over-sexualised in Nollywood.
In a recent conversation, the busty actress claimed that, rather, actresses who fall into such a category are appreciated for their features.
She said, “I just think they are being appreciated for their features. I don’t think they are being over-sexualised. That word is not what I will call it.”
On how to ensure financial stability in Nigeria’s unpredictable economy, Mo’Bewa said, “I don’t think acting can sustain one without doing other businesses. I am talking for myself. Everyone should have multiple streams of income.
“There are actors who work every other day, but when the chips are down and you are not the one being called back to back again, is there something else you can do? I am using this medium to urge people to go into other businesses as a backup plan.”
When asked if talent alone is enough to survive in Nollywood, the actress said, “At this point you need talent, content and clout to survive. There are people who are super talented and haven’t been given the platform to showcase it to the world. Right now, just get on with the trend. Don’t be static and depend on your talent alone.”
