Victor Osuagwu Exposes Nollywood Producers Using Auditions To Lure Girls, Upcoming Actresses.

Ex-Chairman of Lagos Chapter of AGN, Victor
Osuagwu recently revealed how he fought the
growing menace of sexual harassment in
Nollywood.

According to him, the fight to end the canker
worm requires a tough hand.

This is what Mr Osuagwu said about sexual
harassment in the thriving entertainment
industry:

“It has been my nature to see challenges as
entertainment. If you face it the hard way, you
will not succeed. That was the way I handled
some of the sexual harassment cases we had.
This is sounding a note of warning, we will get
you wherever you are and deal with you. What
this set of people do is to organize ‘auditions’
and at the end of the day mess up girls.”

Bemoaning the state of the industry, he
continued: “These days, before you are
auditioned, you pay money, before you act, you
pay money, to see yourself on screen, you pay
money and that is why we are having wishy-
washy production all over.

This is not the AGN we are looking for.
“Sometimes you also blame up and coming
ones. When they tell you that they are ready to
do anything, what do you do?

A gullible producer, director, production
assistant, personal assistant will rip you off
because you can do anything.

People are even buying laptops and expensive
gifts just to be on posters but when you check
their act in the whole film, it is just one scene.
“And do you know one funny thing; this attitude
has encouraged some green horns to buy their
way into acting. They are not really actors.

I remember in those days, once you are
auditioned and you pass, you go through
rehearsals but these days it doesn’t happen
anymore.”
