Popular Nollywood actress, Lilian Afegbai, has opened up about how she almost got kicked out from college over a sex scene with actor Jim Iyke.
Lilian Afegbai, a graduate of Benson Idahosa University, Benin City, Edo State, recalled the incident during an interview on the Tea with Taymesan podcast.
The 31-year-old actress said she got the acting job while she was a student at the institution and performed an erotic scene with Jim Iyke.
However, the film was unsuitable for the management of the Christian University because it went against their values, so she was made to face a disciplinary committee.
According to Lilian, she thought she was about to be kicked out of the college, but luckily, she wasn’t after she made her case before the panel. However, she did not reveal the title of the said film.
In her words,
“I started acting fully in BIU. In the first movie that I did, they almost expelled me from school because I had a sex scene with Jim Iyke. So when the movie came out, then I was young.
It was just a lot, and people in the school, you know how jealousy now, people started telling our reverend’s wife and so they brought the movie to school, they said I acted an illicit scene, they fixed a panel.”
I thought I was going to get expelled. I was scared. It was a Christian school and when people start talking about things in school and making it a thing, you actually face a panel. When I went to the panel, I started making them understand that I am Christian. I would never do anything to jeopardize my Christian faith but then this is acting ma, it’s make-believe.”
