The popular Nollywood series, MTV Shuga, has announced the release of its documentary tagged: “In Real Life,” which explores how people deal with real life issues that have plagued our society.

In the 22-minute series, the documentary shows a young girl being sexually abused by older men at a party and a young woman trying to make a career in music only to be raped by a senior figure in the industry.

 

In MTV Shuga In Real Life, a young woman who was caught in the world of transactional sex also tells her real life stories of how she was drugged and abused.

The movie depicts what ordinary people in the society are going through, as dramatised by MTV Shuga characters in its season 6.

Some of the issues the documentary addresses include unprotected sex, transactional sex, girl-child education and the myths behind condoms and contraceptives.

“This is real life from the streets of Nigeria,” says one of the celebrities who attended the private screening held recently.
