''There are Paedophiles among Naija celebrities'' - Tricia Esiegbe

I have only one question for this lady ''Can you mention one and back it up with evidence?"...Sometimes people just make controversial statements for cheap publicity not that they actually have facts to back up the claims.

Nollywood actress and Boldfaces International CEO, Tricia Eseigbe while announcing her new project ''The Psychologist'' in an Interview with Enc. magazine,dropped a shocker. She claims that there are are paedophiles among Naija celebrities.

Excerpts,

The Psychologist is a public awareness programme on child sexual abuse. We intend to expose sexual predators and create a support platform for victims of child molestation and to get the authorities to do more in supporting our children. There are evidences that the predators called pedophiles have invaded Africa, Nigeria inclusive. It’s unfortunate that people are not talking about it, probably because of stigmatization. The Psychologist is divided into two parts. We have it as a programme and on the move. The Psychologist, as a TV show is going to be a 30-minute enlightenment programme where we give victims of sexual molestation support. They tell their stories, not to learn from the stories alone, but to re-organise themselves because they have lost their self-esteem.
The second part, On the move, is a road show. We have some celebrities who will be part of the road show. The celebrities, those that are against pedophiles, because there are some pedophiles among our celebrities.

Are you serious about this?

Yes, there are pedophiles among our celebrities, that’s why we’ll only focus on the ones that share our thoughts. They will wear our T-shirts and make noise around the major cities in Nigeria about it. I am starting the campaign from Edo State because it’s my state and recently, I had a meeting with my governor, Adams Oshiomhole. At present, we’ve shot 50 episodes of True Stories in Lagos, and I was shedding tears while shooting, seeing some of them narrating their experiences, while some preferred unknown actors to narrate their ugly experiences in the hands of pedophiles.
