Femi Adebayo, a well-known Nigerian actor, has responded to the topic of actors in the Nigerian film business complaining about their low income and why the are poor.
In a recent Talk Daily interview, the attorney explained the industry’s poor wage problem.
He said:
“Acting is lucrative when you become popular. It can not be lucrative until you become a star. I refer to the journey to that level as an investment. You get paid according to the category you belong to. The A-list actors receive a higher payment than the B-list actors, and the order continues. I can not say I get paid peanuts because I am an A-list actor. However, an actor who recently got into the movie industry could claim he or she is poorly paid. You have not paid your dues. It happens in all professions.”
Adebayo also announced that he did not foresee his acting career overshadowing his legal practice.
