The famous phrase “women supporting women” has been characterized as a swindle by Nollywood actress Bukunmi Oluwasina.
The majority of female solidarity in the film industry, according to the single mother, is not sincere.
In an interview with BBC Pidgin, the actress revealed that the notion of women helping one another is rarely sustained in Nollywood. Although some women publicly support one another, she claims that many do not genuinely support one another when it count most.
She said: “You know say women supporting women for Nollywood na scam. “E no dey always long. Even if they support each other, we know how e dey, but we dey see the men and dem dey do am. Everybody know say woman enemy na fellow woman.
“If you follow one woman talk, you go hear them talk say dem fit borrow man money make e start business, but to borrow fellow woman money make she start business e dey always hard. I no know how the thing dey like that. I no fault anybody, but e just dey.
“No be only for Nollywood. Women supporting women at some point, you go just see am. Even if dem talk say e dey happen, you go feel am say na scam.
“E no dey happen, and even if e happen, sometimes e no dey genuine.
“Women dey industry wey no get sponsor, dem dey do the work, the work dey show, we know dem, we see dem and their work. But na other people wey dey under their shadow dey use am run their thing, dey water down those women effort, making it look like everybody get sponsor.”
