Nollywood actress, Adunni Ade, has said that Nollywood actors are paid peanuts for roles.
The mother of two made the statement whilst on the Rubbin Minds show on Channels TV.
“This is not me calling anyone out. I’m saying it is time for actors in the film industry to get paid for what they do.
“Stop asking talents to do you a favor with their work and you pay them peanuts.
“She said stakeholders must let go of greed and quit exploiting talents in the name of giving them a platform.
“People need to let go of greed. A lot of people want an actor or filmmaker to just help them. You cannot keep doing that and getting rich while they remain on the same spot. It happens a lot in Yoruba Nollywood.
Also speaking to actors who would do anything to be famous in the industry, she advised that they use other avenues like social media to sell their talent instead of their soul.
“People not from wealthy backgrounds do whatever to break in. I keep telling people what will be, will be. You don’t have to rush and become famous.
“You have social media and more avenues now to break into the industry without having to sell your soul.”
