“It was necessary” Ini Edo replies to Mike Bamiloye, other critics of nudity in Shanty Town
Ini Edo, actress, and mother, was involved in the production of the Shanty Town Movie. She has now responded to critics about the loud nudity of Nollywood’s series.
This comes after Mike Bamiloye, the founder of Mount Zion Ministries tackled Nigerian celebrities with their movies, especially actors and actresses that promote nudity and romance.
Ini Edo, who plays the role of Inem in Shanty Town, responded to critics via a chat with BBC Pidgin. She explained that it was impossible to film the movie without using nude scenes because the movie’s main focus is on prostitution and crime.
According to her, it would be impossible to properly pass across the message of the movie without displaying some sex scene.
Ini Edo further stressed that Shanty Town is a story about crime and prostitution and one can’t tell such a story without displaying nudity.
The thespian noted that going naked wasn’t aimed at debasing anyone rather it was in a bid to make the movie look so real.
The veteran movie star also berated the excessive emphasis placed on a woman’s body, while urging people to begin to see a lady’s body as a mere creation of God without weird reasonings attached.
