Veteran Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwor has revealed the shocking reason many actors in the Nigerian film industry still struggle financially.
According to her, unlike their counterparts in developed countries, Nollywood actors do not earn royalties from their work. Instead, they are paid only once for movie appearances — leaving many without long-term income.
She explained that in other industries, actors continue to earn money from their films for years, even after their death, but this system is largely absent in Nollywood.
This revelation sheds light on why many actors are now turning to platforms like YouTube for financial stability and independence.
Is Nollywood due for a major industry reform? 🤔
