Fola Folayan, Nigerian OAP Fola has called out most female singers/entertainers in the country, whom she accused of not having a voice in the society simply because majority of them sleep with their managers.
In her opinion it will be difficult to see a feminist among the female entertainers as they are being controlled by the men in the industry. She wrote:
Will a mainstream Nigerian female entertainer ever be a feminist?Not likely.The industry is structured such that they have to pander to men to be given opportunities. The real decision makers are men and as sexist as they come.They NEED male approval if they’re going to eat. Add that to the fact that a good number of the current A listers are sleeping with their managers/controllers who decide the content of their music, what they wear and how they speak in public. Controller-Managers who package them as sex symbols without a voice. Of what use is your voice when you can shake your yansh for the highest corporate bidders?Leave gender equality issues for a minute, have you ever seen your female A listers engage the people thet claim are their fans on real issues affecting them? Okada ban, social media bill?
