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.

None of the above mentioned collects anything more than 2 or 2.5 million. They just inflate what they are paid in order to promote their market value, FACT.

LoL @ Nollywood caresses now making makeover studios their new home


Serious boredom caused by being out of work. Buhari recession is biting them hard as politicians don begin hide and not doling out cash like before


Some have turned ito directing and producing their own movies which can get publicity because of who they are, but flop at the box office, so no money

Some will attend any event uninvited, even children birthday party just to have opportunity of meeting rich politicians. David Mark and Akpabio are free spending patrons!


The industry needs to come out clean so that young girls will not get deceived about its prospects, and later end up in a life of semi prostitution, after being carried away by the false picture it presents about income. The truth is that it is still a struggling industry. Perhaps in the future, things might improve.

Right now, its mostly very few endorsement deals from glo, MTN,,Etisalat etc that can fractionally improve earnings of these actresses. The rest is handouts from wealthy men. As for the Waka pass actresses, producers can screw them even inside the boot of their car for free. After all they need fame at all costs.

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

Best answer.
Least paid actress in my "Lagos in Motion" for "Waka Pass" got N10K.
Some actresses like A-Listers Queen of Nollywood, Omotola Jalade- Ekeinde and Nollywood diva, Genevieve Nnaji earn up N10m per lead role.

You are ignorant of the facts.
Nollywood filmmakers and actors are having the best days since "Living in Bondage" of 1992.
Federal Government 's Project ACT Nollywood, Bank of Industry and NEXIM Bank have given out more than N10billion for capacity development and film productions.
If you have a good screenplay and production company, you can receive up to N50m from the Bank of Industry to make your movie.
So many movies have been made for cinemas, cable TV and online platforms.

Na wah for u O. Must u mention LAUTECH. Leave my great Alma Mata alone o
Mcowubaba:
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..

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.
Are you sure you use your brain well when you read?

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

Bro I swear na you go tire
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.

Chai! I need to go into the movie industry.

This is why we need to enlighten our young ladies to desist from such behaviors. It takes more than just sleeping around to get to the top of whatever career path you choose to follow. If eventually you get more features as a result of sleeping around with producer, then be rest assured you won't last a decade in the industry.
Like i earlier mentioned, Nollywood is fast evolving from just selling a pretty face to market a movie. Women are bringing more to the table right now. I am pretty sure actress like Somkhele Iyama (93 Days), kehinde Balogun(October 1st), Nse Ikpe-Etim, Judith Audu, also don't forget the Director of the highest grossing movies in cinema with over 405 million is a woman, Kemi Adetiba did not have to sell their bodies to achieve this feat.All these women and bringing more than a pretty face to the table.
There are some many other aspects of Nollywood women can delve into other than acting. Yo can decide to direct, edit, make-up, costume design etc. Selling your body to get a lead role honestly is not going to take you anywhere.
Know your strong point and work better on improving your skills. The sky is just the beginning.
