Pornography in Nigerian entertainment industry

Today, we want to explore the pornography industry in Nigeria. This is not just about pointing out the obvious; our aim is to create awareness so that individuals can be mindful of these realities and opt for healthier forms of entertainment and escapism.

The production of commercial porn movies in Nigeria began in 1999, but the genre started infiltrating the country between 1995 and 1998 during the morally questionable military regime of the late Gen. Sani Abacha.

Recently the global pornography market is valued in the trillions of dollars, and this financial temptation is a major reason it remains an enticing venture for unscrupulous investors, including those in Nigeria.

Unfortunately, the porn market in Nigeria continues to grow rapidly, with many Nigerians engaging in what has become known as “Nude Nollywood.” Notable adult stars include Juliet Simieon and Daisy Melanin, Anita.

Investigations have revealed that a large number of actresses featured in these pornographic videos are former sex workers, victims of sexual abuse, or individuals simply trying to support their families.

These “sex professionals” work together with their peers in Nigeria to create what we now know as the naija porn of today, along with unemployed young men seeking quick financial gains, to produce and distribute these tapes and leak it online.

Be conscious of how you share you private video.
