Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola talks about how some of her colleagues make more money than others...... She also says she is not rich and does not really know what they do to be so rich......
During a recent interview, she said;
"People can't understand where the money for a lot of actresses is coming from because we all know what the industry is all about, we all know how much we earn and how much we 'Can' earn.
Except you have money from home, maybe you are from a rich family.Some of these lifestyles that we see, especially on social media can be real and if it is real, where is it from?
People come up to me and say;'Oh!, look at these actresses, they are very rich' and me I would say 'I don't know about that cause me i am not rich, when you see them, you can ask them what they do', I say it all the time.
We know how much they sell films, Iroko has not gone past 4 or 5 million naira for a while film African Magic just went back to 4 million, they were initially N1.2 for a whole film plus crew and everything inside.
Then there's Netflix, though it's international and the money is bigger but we also know how much people earn in Cinema films, though we started with Cinema at first.....
So for a lot of actresses that I see, I don't know if they are from very rich homes or there's other businesses that they do because there has to be with the amount of wealth that our colleagues show......
And ofcourse, we've also heard stories of actresses dating politicians and doing stuff for politicians and getting paid for it, we all know that things like that happen
But it's not just actresses that do that, women in Nigeria do that because the poverty level is pretty high so a lot of ladies are like whatever I can do to sustain myself and my family, I can do that".

Some get good endorsement deals, adverts etc, don't forget that.
ReplyDeleteSome invest in properties, some have side businesses (boutiques, restaurants etc)
Lmao! So it is you that will tell her who has been in the industry more than 20 years. Some people are so gullible
DeleteMa, some of them are into cryptocurrency trading
ReplyDeleteAnd some into Real Estate so if you don't know you will not know because they not like to share it with you.
This ur story long oo. Are they Agent now
DeleteGhen Ghen
ReplyDeleteNo wonder African Magic shows old movies or not so old but wack movies, the owners would first make enough money from their movies before selling it to them at 4m. Kai!
ReplyDeleteThat's life nah, we all can't be equal.
ReplyDeleteThis table....
ReplyDeleteWhatever. Life goes on.
ReplyDeleteThis is very wrong. Bimbo has no business talking about her colleagues. She should be wise and talk about herself only.
ReplyDeletePLEASE read the article ...she didnt sound derogatory in anyway, she tried to profer answers to the reasons wht her female colleagues may be rich. It wasnt derogatory
DeleteSome people either only read headlines before they write their comments or just lack contextual intelligence.
DeleteShe wasn't condescending at all in her comments. She has been in the industry for a very long time and knows how it is there. Plus she's a proper A list actor.
DeleteMany Of Them get Side Hustle nah
ReplyDeleteHello iya Boys
Iroko ke? Iroko of the 90s? You should compare the money modern movies are making, not Iroko. There's a whole new generation that will not watch iroko but would watch Netflix
ReplyDeletePlease did you read what she said? She mentioned that “and there is Netflix that is international”,
DeleteBimbo has done well for herself for over 20 years on screen and we all cannot deny the fact that some of our actresses are not mainly rich from the screen but either from other hustle or the other kind of hustle.
Hmmmmmmm
