Nollywood actress, Toyin Alausa has broken down in tears on Instagram over her financial situation.
The movie star, in a lengthy post on her Instagram page, revealed how the viral video of a Hollywood actress crying over her financial situation and her low pay in the industry, also touched her.
Toyin recounted how she got so emotional and overwhelmed a few days back on her way from work and she was drained and exhausted from a series of jobs she has been on, yet when she looked at her account balance, the math was mathing.
She questioned herself about where the figures went to throughout the year and wept for herself. She stated that most of them in Nollywood don’t have extra support other than what they earn and yet they still extend love to family and friends.
Alausa added that it’s unreasonable for anyone to assume that screen life is the same as Real life and expect someone like her to live the facade some people live.
Though she is grateful for the numerous blessings money can’t buy that are bestowed on her, she looks forward to when her hard work will match her reward.
“First of this isn’t a pity post or s.m stunt, I didn’t think I’d ever post this or knew I’d get the best and most suitable voiceover for the mood.
Just going through the streets of IG now and I found the post on the @realsusanpeters page where a Whole Taraji P. Henson broke down… I mean this woman we all know is a dynamic world-class Actor and yet her math ain’t mathing, aarrghhh !!!
so I remembered how I got so emotional and overwhelmed a few days ago on my way back from work, I was drained and exhausted from a series of jobs, and I’ve barely had time for anything than work and yet when I checked account bal math wasn’t mathing at all … I wept for myself … Jan – Dec where did all the figures go?? How ??
Some of us don’t have any extra support from anywhere other than what we earn from our sweat which at times shouldn’t be heard of ( contrary to what those outside the industry think), and from that little we earn we still extend love to those in need around us, take care of ourselves, family ( for some who are breadwinners), mobility to and fro etc.
It’ll be unreasonable for anyone to assume that screen life is the same as Real life and expect someone like me to live the facade some people live …
While I’m super Thankful and Grateful for the numerous blessings money can’t buy bestowed on me I earnestly look forward to when every hard work will come with a matching reward, and Math go begin Math solidly.
.
Special Shout out to all the hardworking women out there, diligently and consistently striving to achieve success, don’t be discouraged, tough times don’t last tough people do.
WE WILL SURELY SUCCEED”.
Some months back, Toyin Alausa had reflected on life following the series of deaths in Nollywood.
She revealed that these past days have been really mind-boggling, but one thing she knows is that there is no template to live.
She noted how no one has the monopoly of living a perfect life, and as such, she has chosen to live in love and peace to the best of her ability and is committed to her sanity, well-being, and happiness.
Recall that early this year while celebrating her birthday, Toyin Alausa recounted how she lost herself at a certain time.
Reflecting on her struggles and challenges, she stated that despite it all, she stands strong, confident, and proud of who she has become. For her, it can only get better as she is committed to her wellness and happiness.
