Why Female Entertainers Should Dress Modestly – Etinosa Idemudia

Actress Etinosa Idemudia has spoken on the importance of modest dressing in the Nollywood industry.

According to her, women should dress modestly, emphasising that doing so will help earn them respect in the field.

Etinosa stated this while speaking during a recent episode of the Bold Enough To Say It podcast on YouTube.

She said: “I know that Nigerians they don’t like advice, they don’t like it when someone is telling them what to do so I first jeg everybody, if Una wan insult me, I will insult you back but these things have to be said, the young ladies of this generation coming up, I feel like we should dress and act in all modesty, so that they can respect our profession.

“Because being a woman in this industry is hard enough. You hear a lot of nasty things they say, a lot of terrible assumptions about women in entertainment and then you don’t want to be an enabler, you don’t want to be someone that makes that rumor true. 

“When you here someone say ‘see them, see them, na so so olosho them dey do, dy go dey use music and acting to dey cover up. Every kind of creative, every one of us we go through a lot to put this entertainment out, to put the art out. 

“Before we started this show I heard the crew members talking about how we went for a shoot and they were coming home by 4am, 5am and im like ‘ah that’s the story of our lives from morning till midnight, we are working,” she said.
