Veteran Nollywood actor, Lere Paimo has explained why its wrong for Nollywood stars to bleach their skin.
Mr. Paimo stated this during a recent interview with The Nation while reacting to questions about nudity in modern day Nollywood movies.
“There is no amount of advice we would give to them, they won’t listen because many of them lack training. Nudity, bleaching and vulgar languages in movies is wrong, Yorubas don’t do that, we did not do such when we started acting up till now. Some of them listen to advice while some turn deaf ears.
“But change is constant, most of these things happen in real life, people now go half nude and bleach their skin
It doesn’t happen before, the Yoruba lineage are not nudists, they (actors) teach the wrong lessons thinking people would like what they are doing. It is wrong for a Yoruba person to bleach, guys use earrings and sag their trousers like mad people. Those are not Yoruba heritage,”
