Pornography is good for Nollywood –Benson Okonkwo

Benson Okonkwo is a rising actor who has arrived the scene like a fast train with bounty of goodies to offer. Since his foray into the industry, the Enugu-based sexy actor has had honours looming around him just as controversies would not steer clear. No thanks to the gay role he played in one of his most successful movies, "Pregnant Hawkers"

"My dear, it's only a movie and make-belief, you know. We watch movies like that in Hollywood. Nigerians are hypocrites. I think pornography makes our movies more real. And for that reason I am in support of it. If you take a good look at Hollywood movies, for example, you will notice that it is rampant and it means nothing to them" he once told me.

Now, he still belives that assertion that pornograhphy is good. "Pornography is good for Nollywood. It's like acting normal roles, first and foremost. It's a movie and you act exactly what is in your script. And there are restrictions, besides kissing and touching here and there. Nigerian movies are not made for everyone". He told Potpourri recently.
