Nollywood Not Safe For Young Girls, Says Regina Daniels
Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, has said that the movie industry is not a place for young girls and urged producers to discourage the act of employing minors.
Daniels, who is also a film producer and the wife of Ned Nwoko, gave the advice on her Instagram page on Monday where she advised celebrities, and movie producers, to say no to child labour and keep the industry safe against such acts.
She said, “I met a 14-year-old girl wearing a short skirt, and crop top and working under another young guy on the movie set who claims to be a make-up artist. Her parents are far away in Port Harcourt and she came to Lagos last year. She sleeps in different hotel rooms with whoever agrees to accommodate her every night and is not willing to go back to her parents. This girl told me that she is here to learn but trust me, I know the industry and it is not a safe place for young girls.”
