Nollywood actress, Angela Philips, seems to have a kind of disappearing
acts with the media.
There was a time she disappeared into thin air and
only reappeared when news was running riot that she was living in a
church with her pastor. Now after a long lull, sultry Angela was seen at
an event in Lagos she talked with Potpourri.
For those who have a long memory, you would have to excuse it for a
minute or so. Forget Angela had told us she was a born-again Christian
of high spirituality. I guess that happened to her when she met her
Pastor, then “old things have passed away’ but making out of what she
told Potpourri those “Old things may be things of future past”.In the chat with Potpourri, she wasn’t talking about Christ coming soon, but about nudity and sex and how it is the salt of entertainment. She even took a jibe at Nigerians, observing that Nigerians are hypocrites who love nudity but pretend not to because of some cultural and religious orientations they would sooner kick than keep. “That’s what the public want to see, so why are they complaining? They shouldn’t complain.
If you shoot a movie where everyone is well dressed
and covered from head to toe, nobody will buy it. They want to see n*ked
girls. Nigerians should stop pretending. That’s what we like and those
are the things that sell. Look at the musicians for instance, how many
gospel songs sell? But when you look at the secular music, you’ll
realise they’re making waves. Look at our music videos.
Everybody likes
nudity, be it in movies or music, so they should stop complaining,” she
bares her mind.
