Nollywood actress and media personality Bimbo Akintola has spoken out about how some of her colleagues earn more than others.
In a recent interview, she stated that she frequently questions her colleagues about their extravagant lifestyles because she is not wealthy.
According to her, people approach her, commenting on how some of her coworkers are wealthier, and she informs them that she is not as financially secure as they are.
Bimbo pointed out that some sleep with or date politicians to fund their lives, while others come from wealthy families.
“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”
