Nollywood actress Eberechukwu Bayray Nwizu has disclosed how Brazilian Butt Lift, BBL, has become one of the requisites for actresses to get movie roles from some producers in the Nigerian movie industry.
While speaking on TVC’s Wake Up Nigeria programme, the actress encouraged young talents to kick-start their careers using the resources available to them.
She acknowledged the advancements in the Nigerian movie industry regarding capital and infrastructure but expressed concern over a decline in the recognition of raw talent.
Nwizu noted a shift towards favouring social media influencers by producers for promotional purposes, emphasising the importance of striking a balance between profit-making and talent recognition.
Nwizu said: “Ten years ago, it was you’re not fair enough, you’re not tall enough, you’re not full enough; now it’s you don’t have BBL.
“The good News is that now you don’t have to conform to them. You can take advantage of any of the streaming platforms, start creating your own content, and grow. We don’t have any excuses anymore. There are always going to be those who say, you have to do this to be in my movie.”
