Veteran actress and ageless beauty, Sola Sobowale has admitted
that there is no money in acting and that she needs money to survive like every
other working Nigerian. According to her, actresses and actors are not well
paid because most people do not want to invest in movies, and movie producers
mostly run at loss after producing movies and never get their production money
back not to talk of making profit from it. She used herself as an example
saying when she shot a movie for N5.8m 2 years ago, she only made N3m back
which is a loss. She also spoke about struggling in UK to work just to produce
movies because it’s her passion. Her words after the cut.
movies, she said;
feed ourselves. I shot a movie about 2 or 3 years ago called Adayeba Ote Part
1, 2, 3. When I was tired of recording, I had spent about N5.8 million and we
had not finished editing. After editing, I did not make up to 3 million. I
thank God I did not borrow any money to do that, if I had borrowed money what
would have happened to me? I lived in England, I do all the jobs and I bring
the money back to Nigeria to shoot a movie because this is me, this is my
passion. When you talk about quality, where are you going to get the money for
the quality?
When you enjoy doing what you love, you will be fine. I am fine but I need
money to survive. I want all my effort to be crowned because I work very hard
so I can’t just be doing it in vain
