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.
Popular Nigerian TikTok stars Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, and Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, better known as Jarvis or Jadrolita, have fired back at critics of their recent wedding, urging them to stop being envious and focus on their own lives.
The couple, whose wedding became one of the biggest talking points on Nigerian social media over the weekend, shared a now-viral video of themselves dancing and singing while seemingly addressing those who questioned their decision to marry at a young age.

In the video, the newlyweds sang: “Na we dey love, na them dey cry. Go and make it. No dey jealous. Na we dey buy car. You will run mad. Stop thinking.”
The clip quickly gained traction online, with many social media users interpreting it as a direct response to the criticism that followed their wedding.
Reacting to the video, a social media user identified as Lombardio commented, “This boy did the worst mistake of his life, but he has no idea. Here in America, before you agree to a court wedding with a woman, you need to sign a valid prenuptial agreement.”
However, others defended the couple’s decision.
Another user, Osinachi Wisdom, wrote, “This marriage will favour them; many people expect them to break up later, but believe me, their union will be one of the best. Kudos.”
Similarly, another commenter, Jay, praised the couple for embracing each other’s imperfections.
“They both saw and knew their shortcomings; still, they got married. That’s real love. Marriage isn’t about love alone but the ability to manage the shortcomings. I wish you two everlasting happiness and peace in your union,” Jay said.
Peller and Jarvis’ wedding, held on Saturday, attracted congratulatory messages from fans, celebrities and fellow content creators.
However, it also sparked debate, with some Nigerians arguing that the pair were too young and questioning whether they were emotionally and financially prepared for marriage.
Despite the backlash, many supporters maintained that age should not determine the success of a marriage, insisting that mutual understanding, commitment and compatibility are more important.

Popular Nigerian content creator and self-styled relationship and finance influencer, Emmanuel Obruste, popularly known as GehGeh, has responded to criticism after videos of him attending what appeared to be a traditional wedding ceremony sparked widespread reactions online.
The controversy began after GehGeh shared videos from the event on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Saturday.

In the clips, he was seen dressed in a matching burgundy traditional outfit with a lady, while an invitation card identified the couple as Mary and Prosper, leading many social media users to speculate that the influencer had secretly tied the knot.
The videos quickly went viral, with several Nigerians accusing GehGeh of hypocrisy, claiming his appearance at the ceremony contradicted the relationship advice he is known for giving on social media.
Addressing the backlash, GehGeh dismissed the claims, insisting that he has never advised anyone against marriage. He also clarified that he was only representing his brother, who lives abroad.
“So I no fit represent my brother wey dey abroad?” he wrote in one of his posts.
Responding directly to critics, GehGeh challenged anyone to produce evidence that he had ever discouraged marriage.
“I never for once told y’all not to get married. Did I? If yes, show me a video of me telling you not to marry.”
He further argued that many Nigerians misunderstand how social media works, saying: “Nigerians really don’t understand how social media works. If you know how to use it properly, you will never lack.”
Despite his clarification, the incident has continued to generate mixed reactions across social media, with some users accepting his explanation while others remain sceptical.
