Angela Okorie, a well-known Nollywood actress, has warned her female counterparts in the business to quit claiming that their extravagant lifestyles are the result of their performing alone.
Angela described how many up-and-coming actresses, who have only featured in five films, flaunt houses and attribute their pricey possessions to the industry.
The actress revealed in an interview with Factory 78 that many of her coworkers work additional side jobs to pay for their opulent lifestyles.
She said: “Talking about females making it more than the males, it’s not as if the males are not making it but people should stop lying. All these females should stop lying. You are not even up to a year in Nollywood. You will come and lie to people that you just bought a house. Please tell me which money you use to buy the house.
”And you will be telling people that they are paying you. Oga, you are not earning more than me. And the last time I checked, you have not even done up to ten movies. So, how do you want to compare yourself to someone who has done more than 200 visuals to you who just did five visuals, and you are saying you bought a house? you guys should just stop lying.
”You can’t tell me it’s film money that’s giving you the money you use in buying a house. If there is something you are doing to earn money, you should say it.”
