Man, you deserve a bag full of coconut for that, couldn't have said it better. One does not have to live in a golden castle to to prove they are Rick. Chris Rock drives a Nissan Altima and you can't call him poor nor broke, he's just wise. Same thing applies to Nollywwod actors. Anybody who makes above 2 million per year in Nigeria in is rich and I can break it  down if you're confused. With that said, in the hands of an irresponsible buffon, that money wouldn't  last.

That Nollywood is making millions of dollars is not a claim, it is a fact . Do you honestly believe that the marketers are disclosing the full sale figures? If you believe that then you've  got serious problems. Most of them complain about poor sales and selling only 10,000 copies which does not even cover the production cost. Now tell me what type of crack head marketer will make 100 films in one week when they can't even recoup their production capital. A naija man at that? Tufiakwa! This is just as impossible as a hairy lizard. About Nollywood acotrs driving expensive brand new Hummer, well, most of us in the USA know that you don't have to be rich to drive a Hummer, an average joe can make a down payment on a Hummer and there goes your so called 'expensive' SUV in the hands of the commoin man so what's the big deal. If they bought 'Tokunbo' at least they paid cash and not some lease bullsh-i-t. Still gotta give them props.


The shocking truth is ALL the marketers disclose only about 10/20 percent of the sales and if they want to be modest, they disclose 40% and then shoot themselves in the head for being that 'stupid'. Before you tear me down, hear me out. I have been there and that means I have proof and experience to back up my statement. The government should swoop down on them together with the pirates 'cause they are both ruining the industry. Nigerian actors stepping up and taking their skills to the next level is another topic for another day.

When you bring into factor the amount of money generated at home and the amount from the Pirates of the Caribb, I mean Diaspora, yes, Nollywood is making millions and a lot of Nollywood actors are rich beyond imagination as far as Naija is concerned unless you want to use USA as your yard stick in which case I will ask you to see a shrink becasue the average Nigerian does not pay $400.00 a month on a very crappy studio apartmen nor $1200.00 a month on another aged and washed out two bedroom apartment. Truth is that anyone who makes $2Million in Naija annually is a lot more comfortable than he who makes $100.000 per anum in the USA,, you better believe that.
