Nollywood veteran, Ngozi Ezeonu calls out young ladies over ‘indecent dressing’
Nollywood veteran Ngozi Ezeonu has made headlines today after publicly reprimanding two young aspiring actresses for showing up ‘bra-less’ and wearing crop tops to an audition.
“See eh, any other day I’m on any audition table and I see a lady dressed like this (touching the adhesive and asking them to turn to the public), I will disqualify you.
How can you come to an audition without a bra with your crop top? It’s wrong. Who are you trying to impress? That’s why people think we are not serious people.
I’m a serious-minded actor. You can’t catch me wearing this even when I was your age. You carry breast, and leave breast without a bra. Ah ah why?” she said.
The Internet reacts
“Mummy Ngozi is right, when is time to act like an Ashawo in a movie you can display that. We go for job interviews well-dressed.
E no mean say U go dey wear Suit or Native every time to work. Your talent is what they need not your Nakedness. You mustn’t be naked to prove a point,” wrote one Twitter user.
“Why is she disgracing them like that? She should have had a private conversation with them,” another tweet said.
“She went overboard. If it was a serious organisation she would have been fined and banned from auditions.
What she did is zero and wrong. She should pass them or not and not go to assume morality police over them. It’s a big thumbs down for Ngozi here,” another user tweeted.
What does this mean for aspiring Nollywood stars?
