If you're looking to feature in a movie, all you need to do is pay a fee, no audition is required. For minor roles, these producers demand anything from N50k to N100k...it all depends on the role they are giving you. If you want to play a lead role it's between N500k to N1million. Waka pass people are even made to pay.
The trick some of these producers use is this; they say they are not making money from these movies because people aren't buying them so can't invest all their money in it. They also say finding financiers to pay for the production of a movie is hard, so for these movies to see the light of day, every cast member has to contribute. Thing is, many are eager to pay. Several people told me that it's the girls they refer to as 'runz girls' looking for popularity that started this trend. They would offer movie producers money to feature in their movie so they can refer to themselves as actresses and now it's become a part of Nollywood.
But let me state here that there are some movie producers who don't do this...not all of them demand for money. But a lot of them do. Is that OK? What's your thought on this new trend?

''WaKa pass'' Linda you are so ras:)
This is bullshit! Everything that has to do with naija always had k-leg.
Rubbish producer is supposed to pay not the other way round.
Miley Cyrus smokes marijuana on-stage to accept her EMA God help her
Nawaoo this is ridiculous.
1million to feature in a movie,why not open a shop with the money.
Even the stars u trying to be like,still bleach to stay in business.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
Right from d onset of dis nollywood tin,,actresses pay d directors in-kind#### M not surprised dat it has graduated from kind to cash****But dis is indeed funny!!! I can't even waste my moni buying naija movies,, I rada tear d moni nd dispose****mmmmttttttccccchhhhheeewwwww
This is absolutely wrong....it shouldn't be done that way,,we have so many talented individuals who can do very well in the industry,,why not give them a chance??na wa o...
A lot of sharp practices have permeated Nollywood.
Movie producers do not only ask for cash from these aspiring, but relatively unknown actors and actresses. Some producers also exploit their desperation and vulnerability by demanding for sex as well.
It's really up to the exploited to stop the exploitation but alas, in Nigeria where everyone wants to be celebrated at all cost, many of these actors and actresses are as guilty as the movie producers.
Well, I knew about this some two years ago, as I have been doing mini pageants...an actor cum producer I met during one of the beauty pageant camps approached me, telling me he thinks I have a talent in Acting, and he could help me get into the movie industry...I was interested and thought it was as easy as it sounded. Then he scheduled a meeting for me and him after the pageant show.
I was confused when he sent me the hotel address, I didn't understand why such discussion should be done in a hotel room but I decided to play mature even though I was really nervous.
On getting to the room, the young man went straight to the point and told me that I will have to sleep with him there and then, if I really wanted to get into the industry. When I refused, he asked me to pay 200k and he will pass me at the audition and I said I could not afford it.
He walked me out of the room saying I wasn't serious.....he insulted me all he wanted and even mentioned names of certain actresses whom he helped to get their first movie role in Nollywood, and he said I was too naive.....ever since then I have gotten other offers ranging from 300k to 500k at some point, my mom offered to pay the 300k for me to feature in a movie with top actors, but I told her not to bother. If I am meant to act, I want to merit the role and not through other means.
No be naija we dey again... I am so not surprised at this story... Its just a pity sha
U ar right Lindodo. Many of dem ask for donations
If only they were paying such amounts to star in big studio,chart busting movies.
Why would anyone pay a mediocre director/producer to star in a mediocre movie?
Its funny how we scream at the peak of our voices about the corruption of our leaders when we aren't any better ourselves.
Its not a new trend,its being happening since and sometimes they have to pay in kind...Leumas
chimo! this is so bad .... to think I wanna be like rita domnic soon ... issoriat
In a country lyk ourz where corruptıon z lyk a cankerworm daht aff eaten deep ıts fabrıc nofın z unbelıevable.Doesn't seem unbelıevabl 2 mıı.Dear producers,plz do d rıght tın.God z watchın y'ol. #Mz_NenyeH
It is absurd... Unethical and should be condemned. Too bad!!!
Na wa o! All dis runz girls sef!
Acting is a natural talent or better still u can take acting lessons to acquire d skill, wc one be pay to feature in a movie? Nothing person no go hear for dis nigeria sef!
Na quark producers go dey do dis dis yet d movie no go sell cos its full of talentless shit! If u know ur worth, pple will pay for Ur services not d oda way round!
Some desperados trying to give nollywood a bad name!
RUBBISH!!!
******MIMI******
Linda, it's true o, when i was still job hunting, i went for an audition, i was told that we have to register under the company's name with 15k, some of the girls were not even bothered about the amount. since then i stopped going for auditions.
Very typical! Who even still watch nollywood movies sef?pay my own money to feature in wack movies?i need to b high on grass sef!
Hehehehehehe.moni things in naija
My dear, just keep ur head straight up, u'll surely succeed, like d saying goes "ill gotten wealth will surely diminish" u'll outshine dem all when ur time comes.
I want to act how can I get started
The ladder to stardom rises gradually, step by step, miss or mrs actress, there is no hurry in life ok, just. bite d much u can chew and b urself, with time ur destiny will certainly unfold.
Naija for you
That's naija for you
I went4 an audition n I was among d people selected n later d director asked mi2 pay him 30k b4 I feature in d movie which I pay n nw he is asking4 anoda 10k b4 I ll appear on d poster n nw d poster is out n I didn't appear on d pOster cOs I didn't pay. Nollywood is become something else. Pls u guys shd luk in2 it n mind u, d didn't pay,feed,accommodate or give us costumes,we did all dat by our selfs...
Bt ma bizwat
Not my bizwat
Soooooooo soooooooo true! The shit is cray!
hope lancelot oduwa is not doing that... That man likes money to a fault
no wonder there are many runs girls in nollywood. By their dressing, you shall know them
Rubbish people I can't even buy naija movies talk more of payin to feature in it,,,,,,,,,later we go hear say those idiot don Ban actors/actresses bcos their. Fee is high...mercy Johnson abeg upgrade ur fee to 3m they are makin more money now ohhhh
Hmmmmm must every body act dat is why dis so called producer are makin money 4 dem well if na person lik me d producer nor go chop ooOo my comment
Ba wahala. All for the price of fame. People do crazy things to get fame.
Yeah I know, several of them, or u date them, just date me and everything will be fine lol. End time tinz according to some LIBers
Mediocre peoole engage in mediocre things
the awkward moment when sex for roles isnt enough...guess the ASUU strike issue has made the industry saturated with actors....
Interesting situation
Lindz, so I heard. A close frnd who's a 2:1 graduate of theatre arts frm d no1 uni in Nigeria paid 60bucks 2play an assistant in a movie! In fact, most of dem (ladies) cud pay in kind also wen u cnt raise d amt... Smh!
What's d point anyways??? Gud point Bonario BTW. And aft paying all dt, who'd notice dem???
See Nigeria And Die!!!!!
~D great anonymous!
The desperate and cheap local celeb girls shud be held responsible for this. As for the producers! They are bizness men like every other person. Zion.
Yes I know and strongly believe they do cause I am speaking out of experience I am a good actress any time I go for auditions I am always short listed bu d movie producers end up asking me for money or asking me to meet them in some hotel for more discussion so they can explain tins I haven't been able to future in any good movie and even the ones I have done I haven't gotten the role I deserve in any of them plus I have never been paid a dime for any even the one's dey air on tv
It's a pity! But come to think of it, is it not the same everywhere? Other ministries equally demand money for job-seekers before they re given jobs. I ve heard cases of people paying 200k and above just to secure a job even with first class certificate......So why won't the directors or whatever join in d corruption....Only prayers will save this nation.
Chelsea Eze that featured in Two brides and a baby paid to get featured in that movie and the few ones she has featured in.
Linda na true u tok, all dis cumin up Actors/Actresses dey pay producers to feature in movie, and sum producers no dey pay the up comin ones, dem go simple tell them say 'make dem dey appear/feature for free until they are well known' . Producers they tell all dis cumin stars say na from there dem go begin shine well wella and na dat tym dem fit demand for payment.
The price of fame.
Welcome to 9ja where upcoming artiste pay pirates to have their songs on mix tape.. now in nollywood *smd*
not only do dey pay 2 be in a movie some of de new actress pays directors 2 produce their movie n dey take de led role jst 4 dem 2 be a celebrity. my dear its terrible!
This isnt news tho..its not only in nollywood. in the music industry as well. its a nigerian thing.. #sad
Lol, so linda ur just knowing. That's Nigeria for you and I know a number of them sef, they are runz girls and cos they want to be accorded a good name in the society so at least when they get popular with all the fine clothes and vacation pictures, and you start wondering, that can always justify it by the word 'actress'. Thank me later
Lol, linda u ain't dat current....well it's been happening for a long time, I have a friend who pays 100k just to be in a movie pple don't watch.
Aww stories dat touch d heart ( -̩̩̩͡˛ -̩̩̩͡ ) ....sorry sis +cool story
hmm ooo God help us
If musicians are paid to feature in upcoming stars album, why not the movie producers!!! I think it a cool idea. You want popularity, he wants money. Thats really smart business.
May God c us tru in dis country
This is Ridiculous! What kinda nonsense is that!?
There is a lot of sense in this...if they pay its just like making an investment cos when they feature they get to know the big gigs and get paid more for the runz shii...look at the recent kinda girls in nollywood now...thier costume etc...infact how many movie rukky sanders don do see as the babe dey ball...if they like make dem deny na thier headache
CwÉ‘̣̣̝̇̇zyyyyyy
This is what the Nigerian movie industry has degenerated into, and they say they want to improve the quality of nollywood movies which is mostly as crap as the word crap.
Until strict professionalism is adopted, ghallywood will soon overtake us. God help Nigeria.
This is a true tok I am a witness to this.
www.juicygist.com for crazy mad hot gist
Totally cool business. Better money than sex. When they get the fame from the movie, the money becomes a means to an end.
Yea is tru.. my gf do pay 20k 4 her pix 2 b in d poster.datz 2 bad u kw.
Na today, every movie industry has been doing this for centuries, hollywood, bollywood. Face fact, the world of entertainment is a very tough one, those who are willing to play should be ready for anything.
My dear seriously they do oh!! I am an up coming actress and I go for Auditions and I see all this things,so where is my hope? Am even a theatre art student oh! But still no hope for me because I need to pay or sleep with a stupid director for a role *smh* but thank God for the good once like ... Well, let me just don't menstion names..
Its very okay. There's always a prize to pay & since this tanlentless runs gurls hve decided to add d acting profile to their bio I think its fair they pay for it esp bcuz with them in it d movie can't sell & their bodies do not appeasue the producersthey might as well pay cash. Remb its cash or kind
Bonario Nnaggs,na wah oooo must you comment on everypost.smh.....y'all should stop complaining about Toke..when BONARIO Is commenting on everypost.
Entertainment industry has always been fake,not surprised anyway,,,go 2 secondary sch dis days n ask stds who their role models are?u ll start hearin names of dis fake, futureless ppl,,non wants 2 be doctor,lawyer,engineer,,n all other professions 1 can proud of,,,its soo unfortunate,,(no matter hw rich D industry is,,NON OF MY KIDS 'LL GO THERE, NO MATTER D TALENT BY GOD'S GRACE)
This as been happening from time immemorial na...
especially in the yoruba movie industry..
All the top guys do it
You have to buy form to belong to their 'training school'
odunlade, funke akindele, fash lanso etc they all do it
that is really bad am not suprised everything about nigeria is lM that is ima Mmadu n ego.
na today....it haff teyed na
And these same idiots will castigate Mercy Johnson for being too expensive!! Hissss
i am a victim myself i hve passd soo mani audition frm 2008 i waz in AMBO disqualified coz no konection ,i don taya to go audition sef
Then its a business model though, like marketing and pr for the upcoming, at least u are sure people will see your face, while you are also learning about acting and the industry in general
All the unknown faces you see acting big roles actually paid for production of the films themselves.... especially those aristo looking girls and yahoo looking boys
But y wud anyone pay moni 2 feature in some half-baked crap that some joker producer puts up as a movie? Anyway,it's only talentless peeps dt cud b so desperate. Dey shd wait till i hit Nollywood.
~AKWA IBOM'S FINEST~
Wellll... its their movie, don't see anytin wrong in it...u pay 2 gt famous, not d other way round,,,, *ONYXGODWIN *
Dats very very bad imagine is dis aw nollywood wld move to a great height. hmmmmmm . Produres beta stop
no be today the thing start
Linda, this is so true. It happening in the English and Yoruba sectors. Even our so-called stars have done it before and some still pay producers to feature in big productions.
I don't know why i'm not perturbed by this. Anyway,nothing surprises me anymore in this country.
~AKWA IBOM'S FINEST~
Nollywood and their MEDIOCRE MOVIES? abegi.Only fools watch that crap and insane people pay to act.
Wow! Really good of you to shed more light on the situation. Wish nollywood could be half as good as our music industry. Although both sectors need to be reassessed
Shame on them,tell me how Naija go better.
Men dats bah oh may God help d aspiring actors and actresses
this is serious. na God go help us.
See how i make about N80k monthly online into my naija a/c using my phone or laptop
Oh please, what's all this fuzz about? That's hardly news. Beside it takes money to make money, its a win-win for both parties (I.e producers and actors). At the end of the day everyone is happy!
My dear u ar too full of complain. Person wey play 8 scenes paid 10k d girl dat act eva paid 15k lucy paid 20k effectively n dint act up to dat no Of scenes u acted. Y ar u nt greatfu? Is 26 scenes in a movie a small role? Besides i want to link u for poster for free yet u ar nt happy. Frm 30k we agreed u bleach d agreement did i complain? I stil said u shod pay 20k stil u ar complain, wat cn of a person ar? U lack apreciation. Must of d sences d script writer wrote ar nt relevant so i decided to shoot wat is gud so if it was 46 n u ar nw playin 26 gud sins is it a bad tin? If u ar nt payin d 10k again jst tell me rada dan complaining i hate it. Dont make me tag u pls. Dis sms was snt2mi by my directOr.
Things like this arnt new. Have u all forgotten that people even pay to get govt jobs?... This is becoming a trend in this country. You pay for everything. You pay for jobs, u pay for fame,yoy pay for roads, u pay for everything. The annoying part of this kind of thing is people will keep paying. Smh.
Good reason y they do rubbish movies,they don't get talented pple,they choose desperate idiots.SMH

No be Niger we dey they can do undo to make money. i no doubt oooooooooooooo
Mimi Ojiekwe is an actress that does that,that is why she can't act or be in good movies
my people everything doesn't have to be tainted with corruption, there are still things called hard work and reaping what you sow
Love from Miami
It's only desperate actresses that do that,one of the people that started UT is Mimi Ojiekwe,Ani Anitmasoro,whatever her name is,they can't even act, Linda many Upcomers are being paid,its just the desperate ones like the names I wrote,theu are the ones that pay,Imagine Mimi pays Producers and Directors and she cannot act in any way
Haba Linda! This not a new trend Ooº°˚˚°ÂºoO. Some of dem even feature these up-coming actors/actresses without pay.
E.g Mimi Ojiekwe,Ani anitsaro,but some stand on their grounds and refuse,when you know you can act it's only time,but one can be a star,most upcomers still take their money,its people like Ani, that one that follows Mercy Johnson,so talentless and Mimi they started that rubbish, but not all upcomers are like that,the desperate and talentless ones do that
Producer Dr Paul, may God punish you,because you don't like paying your actors,you always want free movies,the owner of Naidoh Films, i dont know of you are a Christian or Muslim,but gear God,he likes using people and won't pay them,and God bless the producers that pay,to an extent this story is true
See how they are messing dis country up in their own little way, tomorrow they will say Goodluck did dis d goveernment did dat, just imagine!
Fair Enough, it's bad practice, but truth is we the consumers are not helping matters either. We buy pirated copies of their movies. 20-in-1 for 200naira. Where should they get their ROI?
Look right and left Linda, it's the same thing done by our Government, Churches e.t.c., so, technically everybody in position of authority takes undue advantage of the joblessness and poverty level in the Country. You can't blame the victims, cos they see an opportunity to better their lives, but fail to see the extortion.
So why won't they be angry with and bann MercyJ since others pay to get d roles
LMAO! Bonario of life you nor go kill person, u havnt still changed man... how Abj na? And ya ppl?
Pls put down the name of the Director here,Ibinabo I think you need to work on This and save the name of AGN,people should start putting down the names of producers and Directors that do that
Am sure you Ard one of the miserable local producer that does that,are you sure you are not Okwy
Well, as a producer/director, I took time 2 go through d write up and comments! I'm so professional when it comes to my job! Many upcomngs have approachd me with such but I turned thm dwn. d truth is, u may pay ur way bt if u r not gud u will never get up there. My advice is d upcomings shld stop giving d P/D d chance 2 take advantage of thm tnx
Linda it is 'did you know' not 'do you know'
My dear, funny indeed. Buh it's true sha. That's the country we living in
IT doesn't make sense. I believe if you are really talented and destined to be there, your gifts will place you, might take some time and hardwork though....
Linda All of them are the Same Exept Few, I hav Been in Dis industry As an upcoming for More than a year nw, Acting is something I Really had passion For I would be Proud to say I got the talent, But Wen I Started struggling in the industry I began to Ask myself so many questions, Becos this People Called Producers nd Directors Are Really Frustrating they will want to sleep with u nd at the same time Collect money frm u, at Times they will tell u send Recharge Cards some of them would Even request for sometin they knw u can't Afford, then if u do nt they will start comparing u with others who had made their Ways, My own is dat if They can Put A stop to All This it Would be Better Becos they no Longer see the talent all they see is ur Body or ur money, They will tell u Ur mates Are Sponsoring Movies U are coming Empty Handed, Nd dats nt Fair so I want Anybody Who can help this Situation to do sometin About it Pls, Becos is Really getting Out of Hand Nolly Wood is Somtin Else.
You are so right. It used to be in kind not cash, n I am talking about those big names out there right now who've bn in d scene for 10, 15+yrs. This trend discouraged me many yrs ago wen I was interested in nollywood/acting.
Kukuma sef, naija is a country where job seekers pay to be employed into the govt sector, so actors/actresses paying to be featured in most of those quack movies shouldn't be shocking, Linda.
The truth about such artises is that they don't last in that.They use it as a partway in meeting sugar daddies
U r very very stupid @anony 1:43pm. Am sure u r 1 of dose old cargos/fools dat do colect moni 4rm dem.
I'll start watching nollywood movies when i start seeing new and good acts.. Instead of the same old boring faces # nt interested#
Y'all shud pls blv dis, am an actor and dis is authentic, its fuckin true, its a trend nw, ofcos I dnt pay bt I've run in2 dis "producers/directors" lotsa tyms whr I've bn asked to pay a certain fee rangin frm 5k upwards, membership fee of 30k plus, dey call fees lyk dis production fees and to dia defence dey call d movies yu'll fearture in as "Projection movies"; say dey ar tryna project ur face n dey'd start payin yu wen ur demand increases n face is knwn and shii. Nw lemme state it dat only wannabes and desperate ppl wll pay dese shitty fees, dnt be gullible pls. If yu ar truly talented and focused, yu shud get paid for ur work and not pay to work! Its not done anywhr and its a total package of wickedness, evil, greed, slavery, bullshit and arrant nonsense. And to dos who luk dwn on d job actors ar paid to do, its freakin hardwork, its challengin and its a serious business, more serious dan most 8-6 jobs we hav out dere trust me wen I say dis so its no beans! DON'T EVA PAY ANY1 TO ACT! ITS PLAIN STUPID AND DUMB! Dnt let any1 patronise yu wth phrases lyk "no pain no gain", dey dsav a bullet to d head. Am an actor and am gud at wat I do, I get paid for wat I do and I pay my bills for wat I do, can't trade my job/passion/right to live happy for anythin. If yu ar talented, ur talent will pay off one day for yu, be dogged and blv in wat yu stand for and be true to urself, go for auditions, meet ppl who will help yu advance further, dnt pay any fucktard for a movie feature, d forces of nature and attraction wnt evn support success dat way not to even mention supernatural forces, its fraud, no1 makes it big dat way. Again I say "DON'T PAY TO WORK, GET PAID!". #EnuffSaid
Thanks. I'm a Nigerian actress in the US after wasting time looking for roles in Nigerian films here was thinking about coming to Naija like others have to be in Nollywood, but they don't say what they did to be in movies... However, there's nothing new about it. Beverly Naya never hid the fact that her mother paid for her first movie to be made where she played the lead role. Actresses having been sleeping with producers, directors etc for years. Even in Hollywood the proverbial casting couch is very real. Men in power will sample the "goods" first before giving women a shot in music and movies and anywhere else they can. God has been ministering to me about this. Everywhere I turn I see something about this and I'm reading this now on Linda's Blog. Last night I speaking to God about how frustrated I am. I turned to Youtube and watched a Yoruba movie titled Sekowale 1&2 and it was about this same thing. I was afraid of producing, but that's what I have to do to move forward and I will open doors for others like me. It is well. God will bless my efforts. IJN!
I thought it's been that way for a long, long time...
I suffered same ish, was duped by Earnest Obi, 150k, I didn't even get a chance 2 feature in any movie, till date he gives me stories when I call him...... Hajara
I thought it's been that way for a long, long time...
When u are still anonymous here. Show ur face first
Let us not only blame dis producers but also dose stupid upcomers who willingly offer deir money in d 1st place..........dats why nollywood wuld grow b'cos of dis bad eggs.
Linda do people know you charge between $300 to $500 per post?!!! That should be your next topic.
Well, this is bad. It should be the other way around. I hope the relevant authorities are watching.
Ve never commented on this blog b4 bt 2day i'll.Am an actor and wht linda said is true bt d part of dem payin 1million/500 k is a lie linda.I wnt call names of producers and directors bt their base is FESTAC.They evn go as far as payin 4 poster(70-150k).Another hide out is OKOKO close 2 Lasu.Bt 4 me its 4 girls who re very desperate.Girls who dnt knw their worth.Cos if u knw ur worth u wnt pay 4 ur talent.people will pay u 4 ur talent.Evrything balls down 2 nollywood nt avin a structure like hollywood.If we did all this bullcrap wnt hpn.Ibinabo nids 2 cme in fast and exercise veto power.Let her get sum scape goats.Snub all error.Amma
Hmmm, nawa o,is it desmond,ramsey,jim iyke? Spill biko!
You've made all the sense
Typical igbo response. Very shallow, very mago-mago oriented
Apparently corruption has permeated every nook and cranny of our society. The female artistes obviously use this phenomenon as a springboard to thrive in their "Runz biz", as they become more expensive and classy to their aristos.
*King anonymous*
Smh...
This is serious now we can't even boast of talent anymore.
linda i tink is true coz it has happend 2 mi ,after my degree in theatre arts 4rm Delsu 2007 saw an auditioning poster with peter brunor n anoda nollywood actress forget her name ,we paid 5k den 4 auditioning at warri with briliant upcoming acts they codedly bamboozle us with their cajouling artistic creative stunt by taking us to location to shoot after reading n taking in lines but up till today the mumu movie neva came out n we were up to 50 then that paid 5k to these uncultured uneducated myopic idiotic nollywood fools to featured in that particular movie,,,thinking they have played us nemesis has cut up to them cant even find them these days in any movie till now even the prop-manager then was asking to bribe him with 15k if we wana take a lead role with peter brunor ehile some cheap native fowl chicks were busy fucking them producers at the hotel they lodged,,,hubreye maryland

I dropped a comment about my own experience, I didn't get to see my post. Now I understand why a lot of people rant about you not posting their comments. Oh well!
U people jus open mouth n b callin names. Most of those producers r hungry producers. Some give producers good money to produce for dem. Sometimes de dnt d actress doesn't take d credit cos of how d industry is. U guys sud tink b4 u talk. Am an actress n can't pay to act in a movie. Some names u guys mentioned r innocent. Beefers get lost
You jst finding out linda?.Is been happening for long.
Google Play going to be on BlackBerry OS 10

Dat Ernest Obi fellow actually looks like a crack head. SMH at d situation of naija.
Yea its true,I ve encounterd one @ OKOKO lagos state.he's like dt I shld register as a member wit 43k...then I will hv d chance to be n his movies..without been paid Ooo.dt he's advertising me and he hs lots of members oooo...he gtz them through facebook ooo... He will write and ask if u hv d passion to bcm an actor...nd lots of desperate nd unlucky folks re falling to his local films...not to talk of d unlucky ones dt hv bn used nd taken advantage of.I think d AGN...DGN shld investigate n dis matter seriously nd eradicate dis fake and fraudsters cuz they re killing Nollywood.
Very true Linda,my gf is an actress so i get to hear a whole lot. Not even payment alone,in some cases,they also demand sex plus payment and the girls gladly oblige. It is so rampant now that the film makers even beg some A-list actors and actresses to do movies for them free or some times offer to give them fuel money only.
LISTEN YPU ALL. THE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO PAY WANT TO PAY. IF YOU ARE CONFIDENT WITH YOURSELF AND YOUR SKILLS. ITS A MATTEE OF TIME YOU WILL EXALE. SO FORGET THIS RUNBISH TALKS. ANYONE WHO WANTS TO PAY DID IT COS THEY KNOW THEY AIRENT GOOD ENOUGH. SO END THIS STORY PLS IS NOT A GIST.

RITA DMINIC MAKE SURE YOU READ MY COMMENT.
How about upcoming musicians paying radio OAPs before their songs get played and eventually no media house pay these artistes royalties.
Another name for it is exploitation...
Na only money them they collect from those talentless desperadoes???
Dem dey also collect ynatsh!!!
Little wonder many Nollywood movies are just a joke, with pepper-sellers, shoemakers, vulcanisers, Omata traders, etc, making up the cast and crew of many a Nollywood bastardly compromised movie set!!!
mmmmm right from when i joined nollywood,it has bin like dt...it started wif tricking desperate chicks into havin sex and giving dem roles....retard3ed producers
na today,everybdy dey do ear like sy dem neva hear or eye like dem neva see.
This person calling names. Are you very sure about yourself . Beefer like you. Did these names tell you they paid solo, okwii and uchenancy money. If you swear you will die. Better ask god for forgiveness because you just told a big lie to the world due to your beef and your own inability to deliver and get the same roles they get which you claim they pay for. People like you will never see any good thing come there way until you ask God to forgive you so long these names you had the guts to mention are innocent. Be careful how you antagonise innocent people . Let God be the judge with what you did. Looser....
Very true. I know a friend that has this experience. She paid for the waka pass roles they gave her and also got slept with by three different men over a course of a year she was rolling with them. Till date ,dey haven't made her popular actress. Naija is messed up in every facet of life.
This is preposterous they re banning actresses cos they are being paid to do their jobs but won't ban dese useless producers for extortion! Oh please
