Mercy Kenneth, a rapidly emerging actress, recently sparked online discussion following the spotlight on a particularly intimate movie scene featuring her and a male co-star.
The scene depicted Mercy Kenneth and the man attempting to portray a scenario of a virgin engaging in sexual intercourse for the first time.
Following the simulated encounter, the man reportedly offered Mercy Kenneth N100K and an iPhone as part of the movie agreement.
Nevertheless, many online users expressed disapproval of the clip, with a significant number arguing that Mercy Kenneth should refrain from participating in such scenes. Some even pointed out that she often takes on roles that involve sexual content in her films.
One Hazel Cee wrote: “Why is she always playing these kind of roles? ,,always involving sex.”
Chimamanda Favour wrote: “Why we she play this role at this age.”
Ina Joe wrote: “I know when they married her mother around 2001/2,this girl is too small for this kind movie, nollywood what are you teaching to our youth.”
Victoria Lawrence wrote: “Mercy is too young for this part I don’t know what you guys are teaching our teenagers out there.”
Jacky Opiyo wrote: “In the past years I used to watch Nigerian movies seated with my parents freely, nowadays I’m always watching but with the remote control pushing forward scenes that my children shouldn’t watch. It’s hard to even draw moral lessons from a number of movies nowadays. Mercy is young for such scenes. I come in peace though.”
Emmanuel Ezibon wrote: “This days almost all western african movies is about shifting wombs and rampant sex. Are we going to raise a generation of sex for sex only while Asians and Europeans are invading African continent? How will some of us be watching such movies with our mothers, children and in-laws when almost all movies is full of sex scenes? So sarcastic and pathetic.”
