Nollywood actress, Etinosa Idemudia, has berated those who attribute the success of women to men.
She says helping one another is not a matter of gender, adding that women too do help men.
In an interview with ‘The Punch’, she says, “It is very heartbreaking when people, even women, sometimes attribute the success of every woman to a man. I personally uphold that success is not gender-based, just like wisdom is not. A man can help a woman succeed, and a woman can help a man succeed; it just depends on the circumstances and available opportunities.”
She also recalls a disturbing experience when she played the role of witch in a movie:
“The role an actor gets is a function of how the casting director perceives such actor. It is difficult to explain how the mind works, but after playing some characters, it rubs off on you. I remember playing a witch in the series Blood of Enogie for three months, and after we were done, I had to go for therapy to come out of that witchcraft persona. As funny as it may sound, it is real. There have been cases where actors fall in love with their on-screen romantic interest and even marry them in real life.”
