Nollywood actor Yomi Gold has stirred reactions online after a video surfaced showing him working at a livestock farm in the United States. The viral clip captured the movie star promoting goats for sale, a move that left many Nigerians surprised by his latest venture abroad.

In the footage, Yomi Gold, who recently made headlines for denying paternity allegations involving another child, appeared energetic and cheerful as he stood among healthy, well-kept goats at what appears to be a US livestock facility. He encouraged viewers to patronize him, noting that the festive season was approaching and that he hoped to make extra income through the sales. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

His transition into goat farming generated mixed reactions. While some found it unexpected to see a Nollywood celebrity in livestock production, others praised him for embracing new opportunities despite public opinions. Many social media users pointed out that life abroad often pushes people into diverse and sometimes unconventional income streams, and Yomi Gold seemed comfortable with his choice.

Reactions also reflected a broader conversation about the perception of manual or agricultural jobs in Nigeria compared to abroad. Several commenters argued that the same business many would mock in Nigeria is seen as a respectable and profitable hustle overseas.

One user wrote, “I was waiting for him to mention the price of each goat. Do you have his Instagram account?” Another commenter noted that the actor had likely been involved in the business for some time, describing him as “Mr Goat.”

Some Nigerians highlighted the profitability of livestock farming in the US, suggesting that Yomi Gold may be earning more than those working regular office jobs. Others compared the safety and stability of doing such business abroad with the risks associated with similar ventures in Nigeria, where insecurity remains a challenge.

Another comment read, “If he was selling goats like this in Nigeria, they would say he’s now struggling. But since it’s abroad, they know he’s doing very good from the business. Working hard is okay but location helps you get the best rewards.”

The video has since continued to spark conversations about reinvention, the realities of living abroad, and the evolving career paths of Nigerian entertainers outside the country.

Abi he dey show him work place for Yankee?

With the way we quickly seek validation on social media, if this is his goat farm, he would have tried to show how he legitimately owned the farm...
