Nigerian movie star, Deyemi Okanlawon has made an intriguing revelation.
The Nollywood super star who appeared on MTV Base Africa recently alongside his colleague, Daniel Etim-Effiong, lamented that Nigerian actors are underpaid.
Akanlawon said; “I think Nollywood actors are not being paid enough. And the other hand, we are not financially literal enough to use what we do have and maximise it to protect ourselves in the future.”
On the other hand, Etim-Effiong said; “I also think that the way the [Nigerian movie] industry works, it doesn’t provide enough for the actors to work with both financially and otherwise.”
“For example, I don’t think actors are given enough time to prepare [for their roles]. I don’t think actors are given enough time even to work on themselves.”
