I was paid N10,000 for my first movie role — Rita Dominic

Nollywood actress Rita Dominic has revealed that she was paid the sum of N10,000 for her first movie role.

Rita Dominic made this revelation in a recent interview with Joy 99.7 FM in Ghana.

When asked about the lowest amount she has ever received for a movie role, she said, “The first film I did, the filmmaker paid me N35,000. But he owed me N25,000 for how many months. In fact, he didn’t even pay me the balance. He paid me only N10,000.”

The actress said when she started acting, Nollywood wasn’t lucrative but she was driven by her passion.

She said “I just wanted to be an actor. And to be honest, there was no money in Nollywood back then. We were just doing it for passion. We have the passion for the art which was what fuelled us.

“It was very challenging. But we just kept doing it until the industry got bigger and bigger. And obviously, the pay became much better.”

My first salary was 5k

It was in a cybercafe and I will almost use the money to pay for shortages.....

Most months end, I will go home with 2k and most months I go home with nothing.


So we know that except you have a foundation led for you, nobody has it that easy.....

10,000 was $100 then. In today's Nigeria, that is 160,000. It wasn't a bad pay for a first timer

10k wasn’t a lot a lot of money then. I remember one boy that his Oga settled with 100k that year. He used almost 60k for shop rent and was looking for more fund to stock the place.
I lend him 50k which he paid back after about a year.
Today he is a billionaire (in naira) .
