‘Not all Edo women are prostitutes, all the ones abroad are gainfully employed’ – Imade Osawaru

The talented filmmaker Imade Osawaru has expressed her concerns about the persisting idea that prostitution is more common among women in Edo State.

In a recent interview, she stated: “Unfortunately, the prostitution narrative has spread like wildfire and now characterizes the Edo lady in general. I can certainly state that Edo women abroad are gainfully working as far as I know and from the time I spent abroad.

I don’t believe there is a story about Edo women that I would like to change since they work hard and achieve their goals, and whatever other narratives or insinuations people have about us are just that—their ideas. Everyone is entitled to their own viewpoints, she added.

Imade Osawaru also shared details of her private life. The actress, who recently celebrated her birthday, said that as long as a fan fits her requirements, she finds nothing wrong with getting married.
