Nigerian Actors Live On Past Glory, We Don’t Make Money From Movies Any Longer.’---Ramsey Nouah

Nollywood actor, Ramsey Nouah, exposes some of the realities of life facing most Nigerian actors outside the screen world of acting.
Noah, who was one of the panelists at the recently held Nigerian Entertainment Conference which took place at the Grand Ballroom of Eko Hotel and Suites on April 23rd said:

“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.” The actor whose Globacom endorsement deal was terminated in 2013, alongside that of Rita Dominic, Uche Jombo, Mike Ezuruonye, Monalisa Chinda, Nonso Diobi and Odunlade Adekola, adds, “Some people who appreciate you for who you are and for your talent will then try to establish business links that can sustain you and your family.”
