Nollywood Star Osas Ighodaro Reveals The Surprise Behind Her First Kiss On Set

Nollywood actress Osas Ighodaro has opened up about her very first on-screen kiss in the Nigerian movie industry.

The revelation came during a recent episode of The Culture League podcast, where the actress, who relocated from the United States to Nigeria in 2012, shared that the moment left her stunned.

According to Osas, the actor she was paired with unexpectedly attempted to use his tongue during the kiss scene—something she described as a rude shock, given that such intimate details should be discussed beforehand.

She explained:

“My first on-screen kiss in Nigeria really took me by surprise. I knew the kiss was coming and I was prepared for it, but in my experience, you’re not supposed to put your tongue in someone’s mouth. That happened, and it shocked me. Usually, if such a thing is going to happen, both actors should talk about it first. If you don’t discuss it, then you stick to the basics.”

Meanwhile, in another revelation from Nollywood, Yoruba actress Bolaji Aleem recounted how she was sexually abused as a child by older men in her neighborhood.

Speaking with FeelRightNews TV, Aleem explained that she grew up with her grandmother and, at the time, kept silent because she thought the disturbing experiences were normal. She revealed that around the ages of nine and ten, some men in her community would lure her into their homes while she was working on the streets.

Although the abuse continued for a period, she never told her grandmother, fearing she would not be understood. As she grew older, she recognized the behavior for what it was and began to avoid such advances.
