No fixed rate. Unknown ones earn as low as 5K per movie. B list stars like Cha Cha Eke and Ken Erics Ugo earn between 500k and 800k per movie. A listers like Oauofia earn 1.5 to 2.5 mil. The likes of Blossom earn about 300K. Little Regina Daniels earns between 300 and 500k. Several others earn between 50 and 150k. It all depends on your popularity and talent level.

Someone earn 2k also while some, especially women, earn nothing at all, sleep with the producers and the directors on top of the matter, even the pm, and pas

With the A list actors, it is understandable as some of them have endorsements, so are not limited to just what they earn for movies. But what we've seen are people who seldom act in more than a few movies a year flaunting G-wagons.

Btw, that's an interesting job you've got.

I quite agree with some of your answers. However, it is wrong to taint the women in this Industry as cheap and ones who sleep around. Like every other thing in life, it takes consistency and hard work to achieve your dreams. There a lot of talented women in the industry who are coming out by the day with nothing but raw talent.
Guy Sorry to burst you bubble for women its not talent alone. Sleeping with producers is the norm in the industry as a producer or director you dont need to ask it will be given to you. thrown at you like frisbees. Take it from someone who has worked with actors and producers. Its so bad that even the friends of the producers get their share.
and this is a common practice from Nollywood to Hollywood

All hype, please. Some of these actresses claim that they are paid big bucks so that they can explain the source of income to pay rent for their expensive flats and those GWagons.
The truth is that most of the so called big time actresses are simply Expensive bed mates to wealthy businessmen and politicians
A sitting president once turned himself to PR agent and used his residence to showcase Omoni Obolis film
A minister of foreign affairs turned himself to PA for Stephanie Okereke
The list of governors paying rent and offering jobs to these actresses is endless
The big time actresses know where their source of livelihood comes from

There was this producer/director that was doing some work for my organization. Fortunately he was in abuja for an audition So I stopped by to collect some documents from him. O boy you need to see the babes there .. like 80 babes came for that audition. After we had talked and done our business on my way out like 5 chics followed me. they wanted to know if I can help talk to the producer on their behalf. They were ready to give me their numbers and shìt.

Very true. One thing you will learn in showbiz is its all about packaging, lying and creating impressions. Only the gullible fans fall for it

It's not all hype. I got interested in producing a movie after the success of the likes of a wedding party. Some of the A - list contacted are quite expensive. Mercy Johnson for instance will not remove 2 kobo from 2 million and hardly have ur time because so many producers are bombarding her with scripts and some are paying more. Geneieve or omotola don't even go there anything from 8m and above and u must go through their managers. zack orji 1 million , Alex osifo 800 k . If u want the lover boys like majid Michael or Ramsey noah better hold ur 2m to 2.5m.etc. I also found out that if u are on good term with them, so of them can reduce their cost for u or even favour u without taking a dime. But their are these categories of up coming artist that are out rightly desperate and can give anything including there body just to feature in a movie especially quality movies.

you've got no idea of how things work in this industry.are you saying a producer with a budget of 50 million can't pay 8m naira to get A list actress like Omotola etc on his or her movie.every money made doesn't have to be link with sleeping with politicians etc

Depending on the production company
Type of film, Cinema, home video, series

Location and setting of the movie

Pedigree and popularity of the actress, Mercy Johnson will not earn the money with an upcoming unpopular actress from Lautech.

Special roles attract more payments, some actress demand more if the are to shave their hairs for a role, or if the are to display a higher level of nudity.

In a nutshell...
There is no standard Pay... Some desperate actress even offer their genitals to the production crew, just to secure a good role in a movie.

I know of some actress who even sleep inside their buses (that's the bus that carries their luggages and them to various locations), the Directors doesn't pay hotel bills for them, u see them loitering around the hotel premises, the easy mix with RUN GIRLS, u can't differentiate.

Only the *big* actresses enjoy Nollywood (after the have mostly been banged and humiliated) , the rest are mostly common hookers...

I know what I'm talking about..... 100%, not hear say..

Actually, that's the nature of the entertainment industry, whether in music or movies. And that's why I laugh anytime a singer or actress come on TV to lie about how she's still a virgin.

ABSOLUTELY TRUE. These Popular actresses are forever advertising themselves for rich men all in the name of makeover new pics- Omotola does NT collect 8m per movie. If she waits for that kind of money she will starve not to mention that that pilot husband of her need his own salary to pay for bleaching cream,- Many of these formerly popular actresses as not getting roles like before because producers can get lesser known actresses almost for free- Nigerians want to watch a good movie period, and no longer interested much in the big names except for comedies.- That is why actors like osuofia, mercy Johnson, funky akindele and Mr Ibu, akin and pawpaw,etc make more money than these ' past their prime' actresses who were hot at the start of Nollywood but are not enjoying much by way of patronage and no longer getting movie offers these days, just only living in past glory.
