The comedian, who recently made headlines over controversial infidelity claims involving his wife and Nollywood colleagues, used the opportunity to drop some hard truths for aspiring actors trying to find their feet in the competitive movie industry.

“I will advise upcoming actors never to see any top actor or producer as God. I have learnt my lessons,” he stated, clearly pointing to a sense of disillusionment from his own journey.

Ijoba Lande further emphasized the importance of clearly stating one’s fees and expectations before agreeing to work on any project, regardless of the star power involved.

His revelation has sparked mixed reactions online, with some expressing sympathy over the alleged low remuneration, while others believe it’s a wake-up call for young creatives to value their craft and speak up.

While Funke Akindele has yet to respond to the claims, the incident opens up fresh conversations about actor compensation and exploitation in Nollywood.
