Nollywood
actress, Elvina Ibru, has revealed
that she would love to meet the robber who raped her in 2004 as she urged rape
victims to speak out.
Ibru also advise
Nollywood stakeholders to be professional in their conduct, adding that the
industry needed the touch of core professionals.
In her words, “I was raped
by an armed robber in 2004. It wasn’t my fault and not an incident that
warrants me taking up microphone about, so I set up an advocacy group to address
it. The group is to manage the young and old ones who had been through the same
ugly incident like me. I know if I had to go all out to the media about the
situation, it will fizzle out. However, it is not something I have been silent
about; I don’t know the person that raped me, but I will meet him again, I know
I will meet him. Although I can say that I am not a veteran in the movies
because I just spiced up my acting recently, but I have been on stage for a
long time. What I can bring to the table for my colleagues is that they must be
professional with their jobs as much as possible. There are times that we need
to up our games as actors, producers and other professions in the film making
industry; we need to be professional and do things right. The fault in our
movies did not just happen because we lack money, they also come with the way
we handle things as professionals, though, money is also a big factor. There
are other things that are attached to film making which we need to look at to
move the industry forward”.
