Amanda Oruh Urges Men to Always Seek Consent Before Sex

Nollywood actress Amanda Oruh has urged men to always obtain a woman’s consent before engaging in sexual activity, stressing that a person’s sexual history does not remove their right to refuse intimacy.

Oruh, known for her role in King of Boys, emphasised that consent must be obtained regardless of how many sexual partners a woman may have had.

“I don’t care if she slept with 5,000 men; if she didn’t consent to the 5,001st man, it is a rape,” the actress said.

She further encouraged men to make consent an essential part of every sexual encounter, stating: “You should always ask a woman for consent – men.”

Beyond the subject of relationships and personal boundaries, Oruh also shared her thoughts on marriage, revealing that self-discovery currently matters more to her than finding a romantic partner.

“My death is more guaranteed than my wedding, so instead of looking for my soulmate, I’m going to look for my soul,” she said.

The actress has continued to gain international recognition for her contributions to filmmaking. She recently received the World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award for Acting Ensemble at the Sundance Film Festival for her performance as Pinky in the feature film Lady.

Born in Lagos to William Iheanyichi Oruh and Joy Uchenna Oruh, Amanda developed an early interest in storytelling and has pursued a career spanning acting, producing and hosting.

Her comments highlight the importance of consent, personal autonomy and self-awareness in relationships.
