The rate at which not just Nigerians alone but also the Nollywood celebrities are protesting against child marriage is very impressing. Some released statements through blogs, some through short videos on YouTube, and some via the social networks. Nollywood actress, Stephanie Okereke-Linus has collaborated with a lot of acts in the Nigerian film industry to shoot a movie themed against the underage marriage act. So that people can have a clearer view of the consequences of what underage marriage causes.
She released an interesting trailer of her upcoming movie, ‘Dry’ starring veteran actress, Liz Benson among others.
Stephanie wrote on her blog: “At this critical juncture, I am now compelled to release the unofficial (raw footage) videos of my upcoming movie, ‘DRY’ to galvanize support from Nigerians and the International community for the revocation of the Senate resolution.
“Nigerians! It’s time to lend your voices and share your thoughts. We need to protect the girl child from incessant abuse.”
