Nigerian actress, Miriam Ogbonna, has stirred serious conversation online after saying sex workers should be paid better, a statement that quickly got people talking.
In a recent interview, she explained that she was not supporting prostitution, but calling out what she believes is clear hypocrisy in society.
According to Ogbonna, many people speak against sex work in public, yet the same system continues to exist because people secretly support it. She questioned why people criticise openly but act differently in private.
She pointed out that if there was no demand, the business would likely disappear. But since it still exists, she argued that those involved should not be treated unfairly or exploited.

Her comments did not go down well with everyone. Many people reacted strongly online, disagreeing with her stance. But Ogbonna said she was not surprised, adding that social media is full of people who pretend to be perfect.
She made it clear that her goal was to start honest conversations about issues people often avoid. According to her, facing these uncomfortable truths is the only way society can truly move forward.
Away from the controversy, the actress also spoke about her work. She said she enjoys acting the most but does her best writing when she is alone.
Ogbonna described herself as someone who is bold and truthful, even when it makes people uncomfortable. She added that she is focused on building a legacy based on honesty, hard work, and the courage to speak up.
