Nollywood actress Joke Lawal has said recently that there is narrative currently about Nollywood that she would love to change.
The actress who expressed that a lot of people think of Nollywood actresses as prostitutes, she said this in her interview with Vanguard’s Potpourri. 
Joke Lawal said;
“I would like to change people’s perception of actresses. A lot of people think of actresses as prostitutes, they see us as people who are not worthy of marriage and having a family. If I have the power this is something I will like to change. I will also like to see a change in the way our stories are written and interpreted, and in the quality of our film productions. Another thing I would like to change too is, how poorly actors are paid. As a producer, I will like a situation where I can pay every actor that works on my project even if the person acts in just one scene. As an upcoming actress, I acted in movies and didn’t get paid but because I was still new in the industry I didn’t have a choice. God help me, these are things I will like to change in the movie industry.”
