“What’s the Nigeria definition of sexual harassment” – Mary Remmy Njoku

Mary Remmy Njoku talks about sexual harrasment in Nollywood industry

Nollywood actress and CEO of Rok Studios, Mary Remmy Njoku made a post about sexual harassment on Instagram.  She felt disheartened by a case of what she sees as sexual harassment while on a production set.  So she decided to throw out the question so as to get clarifications on what sexual harassment really is. She wrote:

“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.”
