If you have a friend or family member who has been in the Nigerian movie industry for years and yet still complains of being broke, do not blame him or her because some one who should know, top Nolly wood actor, Ramsey Nouah, has made a very implosive expose on the lifestyle of our stars.
Ramsey, the one time lover boy of Nigerian movies, laid bare some of the realities of life facing most Nigerian actors outside the screen world of acting.
At a recent entertainment round table meeting, Noauh who is still regarded as one of the best actors to come out of Nigeria had this to say:
Many Nigerian actors live on their past glory. The truth is that many of us, (actors), don’t make money from film-making or movies any longer.
There is the show part, but there is actually no business side to Nollywood any longer.
Many of these actors depend on and make their money from acquaintances. So, they simply depend on those who appreciate their works and then introduce them to other sources of income aside acting.
Do you agree with this truthful assessment of the actors' situation by Ramsey Noauh?
