Media celebrity and Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola has voiced her disapproval of the disparity in income between her colleagues.
In a recent interview, she claimed that because she isn’t wealthy, she constantly asks her colleague about their extravagant lifestyle.
She claimed that people approach her, pointing out that some of her coworkers are wealthier than she is, and she informs them that she isn’t as financially secure as they are.
Bimbo noted how some of them sleep with or date politicians to fund their lifestyles, while some come from a rich family.
“Some of the lifestyles we see on social media can be real, and if it’s real, where does it come from? People come up to me and say, look at those actresses. They are very rich, and I tell them that I am now rich.
I still ask them what they do because we know how much they sell films. From a lot of actresses I see, I don’t know if it’s from their rich homes or if there are other businesses they’re doing.
We have heard about actresses dating politicians and all of that, and we know things like that truly happen”.
“I don’t know about that because me I am not rich… When you see them (other actresses), ask them what they do… It’s not just actresses that do that, women in Nigeria do that”
