• interpreter, Ferrari Okoro , has ascribed that it is not advisable to have close friends in Nollywood .
• In an interview session with Sunday Scoop , Okoro said , “ It’s not advisable because you only know what you have in mind and can only speak for yourself . You don’ t know if the other person wishes you well or is just trying to get close to you to bring you down .
  “I remember when I went to shoot a sitcom outside Lagos . We were there for two months or so . I got close to one of my colleagues . After the shoot , we hardly saw each other, only to hear that she was badmouthing me and my godmother . I did nothing to her other than being nice . When I heard what she said , I was surprised. So flying solo is the best , choose your relationship outside where you work .”
  Speaking on her relationship with her senior colleague , Jaiye Kuti , Okoro stated that she had always loved her even before she met her.
  She also said sex for roles in Nollywood shouldn’ t be encouraged because it was evil .
  She said , “ I had always loved Jaiye before I met her. She had always been one of my favourite celebrities . So when she came on the set of one of the movies I co -produced back then , I was so excited . She liked my personality too and said I bore resemblance with her . We developed a mother and daughter relationship. She is older than me . So it’ s just a healthy relationship.”
  She added , “Sex for roles in Nollywood is evil and shouldn ’t be encouraged . Sex is cheap nowadays. Ask a lady or a man out because you appreciate them , not to get ‘in- between their legs .’ I think only cowards and losers do that . I remember years back when I went to Bank Olemoh for a role in ‘Treasures .’
  “It was a Chico Ejiro production . After the audition, the guy in charge was making sexual gestures at me . Though he didn ’t ask verbally, he attempted to touch me . I knew what he wanted but I couldn ’ t withstand what he was trying.
