OC Ukeje opens up on sexual harassment, other challenges facing Nollywood

According to the “Catch.er” actor, both men and women are victims of sexual harassment in the Nigerian film industry.

He advised that while the career [acting] can be a do or die affair, getting a specific job which entails granting sexual favours shouldn’t be.

Encouraging consistency, the actor shared that while he has been in the industry for 16 years, he only started getting recognition six years ago.

On the existence of Sexual harassment 

I have been here for sometime and I have heard all kinds of things in terms of women’s experiences. And believe it or not, I have also heard a few guys’ experiences.

I think sometimes people think guys don’t get sexually harassed, but they do, whether it is by guys or by women.

It’s almost as if people think that is the answer to getting ahead. It’s like you must demand for sexual favours before you put the person in front.Pulse
