Nollywood actress and producer, Mary Remy Njoku, wants to know the meaning of sexual harassment in Nigeria as she shares her experience of a colleague being sexually harassed on a movie set.
Njoku said she was with a female producer who was wearing leggings with a camel toe when a very prominent male producer walked past and said, “I dey see your Virgina, if I hol am en, I go F…. am tire.”
However, Njoku said she was shocked when her colleague casually brushed the offensive incident aside and said, “no mind am the man sabi talk rubbish”.
The apparently confused actress took to Instagram to ask Nigerians “Isn’t this sexual harassment? Doesn’t she know? Or it’s just accepted?
Read her post:
“Dear #instafam I need your help. Again. What is the Nigerian definition of sexual harassment?
“I was standing with a female producer who was wearing a leggings with a carmel toe. and a Very prominent male producer Walked past and said I dey see your Virgina (in pidgin) if I hol am en, I go F…. am tire.
“??On the streets of Lagos! I was deeply offended. I wanted to say something but the Lady just said ‘no mind am the man sabi talk rubbish’ and she immediately changed the topic like nothing happened. I couldn’t cry more than the bereaved.
“But I am really sad. Biko isn’t this sexual harassment? Doesn’t she know? Or its just accepted.”
