Veteran Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola has revealed the source of income of some Nollywood actresses who live a lavish life in the movie industry.
In a recent interview, the 54-year-old actress expressed confusion as to how some actresses can afford a lavish lifestyle considering the modest income they receive from movie sales.
Connecting the dots Another veteran in the field cited reports that actresses have romantic relationships with politicians to enrich their finances.
She said, “For a lot of actresses, people don’t understand where the money is coming from because everyone knows how much they make. Unless you’re being paid by a wealthy family. And some of the lifestyle you see on social media is real. And if it’s real, where’s the money coming from? People come to me to talk about rich actresses, and I tell them I’m not rich. When I meet them, I ask them what they do. I think so.”
“We know how much they sell movies now. Iroko went over 4 million naira? Africa Magic went back to 4 million naira. The whole movie went down to 1.2 million naira Yes, there is also Netflix. Netflix is international. Obviously the money is bigger.
“But we still know how much money people are making on movie movies. They started with movie theaters before Netflix, which got people going. How much are they paying for these movies? So when you meet your co-workers, you don’t know if they come from a wealthy family or have a different business.
“I’ve heard stories of actresses dating politicians and actresses getting paid to do things for politicians. But it’s not just Nigerian actresses who do that. Nigerian women They do that because the poverty level is quite high. Many women are at a level where they will do whatever they can to support their family. Producers make more money than actors. Masu.”
