Where Do Rich Women in Nollywood Make Money From? – Steve Eboh Asks

Steve Eboh

The great Nigerian actor, Steve Eboh, has questioned the source of income for most Nollywood women.

In a recent interview, Eboh talked about filmmaking and the current status of Nollywood.

The 57-year-old actor, whose career spans three decades, questioned why “most of the rich actors today are ladies” while “receiving similar payments” for movie roles.

“So, these days, people just come into the industry because they want to be stars,” he said.

“Most of the rich actors today are ladies. And you ask why. Is it not the same payment? A lot of things are happening.”

He also criticised the quality of film production in Nigeria, adding that “People are not thinking deeply, they just cram lines. Whereas you are supposed to rehearse, get into character, and then act”.

“Let me be honest with you, artistically, the industry is going down. The acting is no longer the way it used to be before. Those days when we were acting, we had what they call rehearsals,” he added.

“You could be acting on the level of 80 percent, me 50 percent another person 20 percent. If you go that way, it may mess up the storyline.

“But if you rehearse for days, we all can come up to match up at a point. But these days, there is no longer a rehearsal culture in Nigeria. So the acting in the industry is going down. We run from one set to the other, which means we cannot meet up artistically.”

Eboh previously addressed sickly actors, claiming that despite AGN’s help, they prefer internet donations.
