Nollywood actress, Victoria Inyama, who sat for a chat with Saturday Beats, talked about things she feels make the profession look embarrassing compared to how it was when she started her career.

Victoria Inyama who made her movie debut with a soap opera titled Ripples between 1998/1999; after she was discovered by Alex Usifo who invited her over for an audition, said; 

“My days in the industry were lovely; there was so much love; there was so much hard work. People wanted to act for acting sake, they didn’t want to act because of money. We were competing with who could cry the most, memorise long lines the most, who was the saddest character and stuffs like that unlike now that it is all about unnecessary competition like cars and houses. Back then, it was just innocent and genuine competition. It wasn’t for the fame but integrity.

“The truth is, these days it is an embarrassment being called an actress. You want to be called something else because there is no respect for that name anymore. Sometimes, I can’t wait to qualify as a psychologist so that when you think of Victoria Inyama, it will be in another light. Those in the industry now are doing a lot of things that shouldn’t be done in 2018. It is not just one particular thing that they should stop doing; from the picture, story line, artistes and costumes, some of them are just weird and out of place. Once I see certain names in the production, I don’t even bother,” she said.

Yes u r right

I think social media messed things up big time.... I'm still looking forward to an opportunity to enter the industry but who will discover you in my kind of city? No player from here has even featured for the Golden eaglet

what we have now is pussywood


you see an actress that has not acted over 10 movies living large with no other source of income while those that act in almost every movie you see are broke

Hehee! Aunty is just pained she is missing all the 'action'

Yea 99% are rums gals


Packaged runs gals


The "big" ones have richer clients

Reason most male actors are either doing sugar boy or hustling

And not loaded like their female counterparts

Na now she take dey wake up abi ?



All of them na run girls from the days of Eve

You can remain embarrassed.
At the moment, the movies y'all produce is an embarrassment.

You have a right to your opinion

But writing off entire productions because of "certain names"?

Sure, we may not like all we see on the screen.

But, man, anyone who has gotten off his/her behind to actually get something out there deserves some accolades...

Oloshoism and ashawoism don takeover Nollywood.
