Yul Edochie
Actor, Yul Edochie has exposed the Nollywood industry, saying that some actresses engaged in s*x in order to get better roles.
Edochie was reacting to s*x for grade story by the BBC which exposed some lecturers in Nigeria and Ghana.
He said s*x for grade was only only in higher institution, but there are
s*x for roles in Nollywood, s*x for promotion in offices, among others.
“No be only #sexforgrades ‘dey oo,’ there’s s*x for roles in
Nollywood, s*x for promotion in offices. ‘E dey everywhere. I hope
they’ll all be exposed,” he wrote on his Twitter handle.
In the BBC’s report, a senior lecturer, Dr Boniface Igbeneghu from the
faculty of Arts, a former sub – dean in the University of Lagos (UNILAG)
and the head of a local Foursquare Gospel Church was caught harassing a
female student s*xually, promising good grades in return. This truth
came to bare after 9 months of interviews with current and former
students.
The secret investigation took more than a year by BBC, which has
been secretly filming the University of Lagos and that of Ghana. In
UNILAG, Dr Boniface was caught on camera telling his victim to ”Switch off the light, lock the door and I’ll kiss you for one minute”
Several students had alleged that they have been harassed by Dr
Boniface, which made BBC send an undercover journalist to him, posing as
a 17 year old secondary school graduate seeking admission, of which he
fell like a pack of cards.
However in Ghana, Dr Paul Kwame Butako from the College of Education was
the culprit discovered after female students pointed him out in series
of interviews. An undercover journalist who posed as a final year
student, interested in doing masters was then sent to him and he also
did not escape same fate that befell his colleague in Lagos.
