Speaking about almost getting expelled from BIU because of sex scene with Jim Iyke, Lilian Afegbai said:
LILIAN AFEGBAI: I went to the secondary school of my university, Benson Idahosa University, so after Word of Faith, I went to BIU. It was quite interesting. Every time when I was on holiday [during secondary school], it’s either I travelled or I’m in boarding school so I really didn’t mingle like that. I started mingling when I was in uni. That was when I was let loose, cuz I was by myself. I started staying off campus even though my school wasn’t allowing it. I had to create a reason to stay off campus.
I started acting fully in BIU. My first movie that I did, they almost expelled me from school because I had a sex scene with Jim Iyke. When the movie came out, then I was young, and I didn’t even have a boyfriend. I was young, I was acting make believe. Omo Jim Iyke! I be side chick for the movie so you know, na Jim Iyke, ah! I was wearing clothes but then we had this room scene where he was flipping me. I was young so it was just a lot. And then people in the school, you know how jealousy is na, people started telling like our reverend’s wife that ah! So they brought the movie to school, they said I acted an illicit scene. I faced panel. It was bad! I thought I was going to get expelled, I was scared. Ha! Omo. It was a Christian school and when people start talking about things in school and making it a thing, you know, you actually face a panel. So when I went to the panel, I started making them understand that ah, I’m a Christian, I will never do anything to jeopardize my Christian faith. But then, this is acting ma. If we don’t act it, who will act it? [laughs]. If we don’t act the side chick, who will act the side chick? [laughs] Omo, I thought I was going to get expelled, but thank God for God.
