Veteran Nollywood actor, Adewale Adebiosu has cried out over the meager amount of money he was once been paid at a movie location.
The veteran actor, who mostly stars in Yoruba movies, revealed that he was once paid N3000 for 11 scenes in a movie.
In a video making rounds online, Alebiosu said it was an unforgettable moment for him the day he was paid the absurd amount despite working so hard.
The actor stated that it was just a few days till Christmas and that he expected to earn enough money for his role in the film to feed his family, but this was different for him.
He stated that after getting the #3,000, he boarded a bus and cried uncontrollably till he arrived home.
Jaiye Kuti slams Nollywood veterans for begging money online
This is coming after actress Jaiye Kuti slammed Nollywood veterans for begging for money online.
For the past few weeks, veterans like Iya Gbonkan, Lalude, Pariolodo, and Alapinni all came out to seek help from Nigerians over their deteriorating financial status.
Jaiye Kuti lamented the trends of Nollywood veterans crying for help online over their deteriorating conditions financially and healthwise. The actress decried the alarming rate at which their cry for help is damaging the image of the Yoruba movie industry.
Jaiye Kuti noted that many of them did not plan for their future. Instead, they spent their youthful earnings on shortlived pleasures.
She, however, claimed that she is not against raising funds for health issues, but she is against tarnishing the image of the Yoruba film industry by crying for basic needs.
The video generated mixed reviews online as many supported the actress for speaking the truth while others condemned her for speaking such about her senior colleagues.

Similarly, English actor, Kenneth Aguba, made headlines last year when he was reported homeless.
Speaking out over his homelessness, Kenneth Aguba made a shocking revelation about the chump change he was paid for in movie roles.
Kenneth Aguba claimed that he was paid N5000 at a movie location and was made to suffer.
“They just suffer me they can’t pay me. They eat my money and didn’t pay me well, they paid me 5000 and said they were paying me”.
The actor, however, received lots of help from Nigerians, and we hope they would do the same for Iya Gbonkan.
