In a video that surfaced on
social media, Chief Fabian Adibe, a veteran Nollywood actor, revealed he was
paid between N10,000 and N30,000 for a role when he was still acting.
Adibe also claimed that he has been abandoned by filmmakers
who made millions from him during his acting days.
This was made during a chat with a journalist, Chinelo
Okafor.
He noted that actors are currently being paid about
N100,000 compared to the 10,000 he got years back.
He words: “Now, they should be paying N100,000. There was a
time they paid N10,000 or N20,000 with all the stress, then they will tell you
that it’s too much.
“None of those Onitsha traders that are in this Nollywood
has ever called me or asked where is this man.
“We are talking about AGN, some of my friends used to call
me though they find it difficult to come because they are in Lagos.
“But the ones that I make money for, none of them has ever
said where is this man.”
