Mike Bamiloye Slams Actors, Directors for Sexual Scene On Movie Sets
Nigerian gospel film actor, Mike Abayomi Bamiloye, has called out his colleagues in the Nigerian film industry for their romantic and sexual behavior on movie sets.
In a series of post on his Instagram page on Thursday, Bamiloye criticized actors and filmmakers for engaging in kissing and romantic scenes with their co-stars, calling it a form of “playing love with a woman in the marketplace.”
He also criticized movie directors for giving actors and actresses roles that involve kissing and romance, and for directing actors to engage in such behavior on set.
In his words: “Hear me, actors and actresses.
“Dear movie-maker, you think you are doing great movies? You think you are making money? You think you are getting popular?
“Dear movie actor, you have acted in many movies in Nigeria and all your achievement in life has been that you have kissed several ladies and romanced many girls on the film set.
“The roles you love to play in movies are roles where men have to kiss you and where you have to play love roles.
“My dear movie actor, honorable Nollywoodian! How many Ladies have you kissed on movie sets?
“Dear Screen Goddess of the Nollywood Empire, how many actors have done love scenes with you in movies?
“Different mouths have kissed your mouth in the name of being professional!
“You have been directed by Lustful directors to romance ladies on a film set before more than twenty people who are behind the camera.
“It is like playing love with a woman in the marketplace! And your moral defenses are breaking down daily before your very eyes.
“You can no longer control your lust! Eh! you! Mr. Man, you are a married man, and you are kissing many ladies and your wife and children are watching you in movies in their homes and you think things will be alright with your wife?
“And you think your Children will be ok in their minds?
He further said, “They see their Mother, having hot romances with other men in movies they watch, and they watch the reactions of their father.
“And you think they will be alright in their heart and mind? You want to be Professional, you want to win Awards!
“You want to be nominated for an Oscar, abi? So you have to subject yourself to many disgusting actions on a movie set!
“You have to allow many other men to climb on you before cameras because your want to be a screen goddess!
“And your husband and children are also watching many of these movies.
“And you think things will be alright for your husband and children?
“How can your wife be alright at home while she watches her husband passionately kissing another lady in a movie?
“What will become of your children later as they have seen their father kissing and romancing other women in movies?
“You think your wife understands? You think your children know your profession.
“You console yourself that they know you are acting as you fondle other ladies’ breasts in broad daylight before the whole world!”
Bamiloye’s comments have sparked a debate within the Nigerian film industry, with some agreeing with his views and others defending the use of romantic and sexual scenes in films as a necessary aspect of storytelling.
Eloswag, a former contestant on Big Brother Naija Season 7, has broken his silence following the release of his private video online.
The reality star reportedly uploaded a clip featuring himself and an unidentified woman on his Snapchat account at approximately 3 a.m. on Sunday.
Though Eloswag swiftly deleted the video, it had already caught the attention of the internet.
The explicit content quickly gained traction after being reposted by the controversial gossip blog, Gistlover, sparking widespread conversations across social media platforms.
In response to the incident, Eloswag took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his frustration and consider possible legal action.
In a now-deleted post, he wrote, “I mistakenly posted a video on my Snapchat by 3am and deleted it immediately, guess who has the video? GISTLOVER? How? Please, can I sue? Because it doesn’t make sense.”

Legal experts have weighed in on Eloswag’s potential case, noting that while pursuing legal action against individuals or platforms that share such content can be complex, it is not impossible.
