Nigerian Actors Can’t Afford Range Rovers On Acting Income Alone – Bimbo Manuel

Veteran Nigerian actor, Bimbo Manuel has spoken out about the financial challenges facing Nollywood actors, offering a candid look into the realities of the industry.
Appearing on TVC’s Your View, the 66-year-old actor addressed the widespread perception that Nigerian actors lead lavish lifestyles, emphasizing that the truth is far from what is often portrayed in the media.

Manuel responded to a host’s remark comparing the transparency of actor fees in Hollywood and Nollywood, explaining that while Hollywood has set standards, the Nigerian film industry operates under different dynamics.
He pointed out that an actor’s fee is not fixed but varies depending on their experience and demand.
“The experience you had counts, it suggests to whoever wants to hire what fee you command. It is also not a fixed rate, it fluctuates,” Manuel said.
The actor also took aim at the notion that Nollywood stars can afford luxury cars and expensive homes purely from their acting earnings.
“The actors you see flaunting Range Rovers and mansions in Ikoyi are living fake lives,” he stated bluntly. “There is no actor in Nigeria that would say he or she can buy a Range Rover from acting fees alone.”
Manuel’s remarks challenge the often-glamorous image of Nollywood, shedding light on the financial struggles many actors face despite their fame.
His comments serve as a stark reminder of the industry’s complexities, where success in acting doesn’t always equate to financial wealth.

I Have Eight Videos Of My Wife’s Affairs – Ijoba Lande Speaks On Marital Crisis

Popular Nigerian comedian and skit maker, Ganiyu Morufu, better known as Ijoba Lande, has alleged that his estranged wife, Dara, was involved in multiple affairs, claiming to have video evidence of her encounters with several men.
During an Instagram livestream interview with media personality Daddy Freeze on Monday night, Lande disclosed that he has eight videos showing different men sleeping with Dara, aside from Yoruba Nollywood actor Baba Tee, who recently admitted to being intimate with her.
“I have eight videos of other men sleeping with my wife aside from Baba Tee. It’s so painful. I watched how these men were spanking her,” Lande stated.
The comedian, visibly emotional, expressed his disappointment and said the betrayal had deeply affected him.

“So, if she behaves like that as a single mother, it does not mean all single mothers will behave like that. It is just on her will to be promiscuous.
“Since I left her, no woman appeals to me anymore; I have been avoiding all women. I challenge anybody to admit seeing me with any lady in a hotel since this incident happened. I’m embittered with the whole situation. She’s a bad woman,” he added.
Lande also revealed that he has been in possession of Baba Tee’s alleged sex tape with Dara for four months and suggested that he might release it soon.
The controversy initially gained traction after Baba Tee, who had previously denied any involvement with Dara, later admitted to having a brief sexual encounter with her.
His confession contradicted his earlier claim that Lande was defaming him and should provide evidence or face legal action.
Lande further alleged that his wife’s infidelity was extensive, stating that at least 21 men in the entertainment industry had been with her.
In response, Dara denied engaging in any sexual activity with Baba Tee, insisting that the only physical contact they had was when she sat on his lap during a “Truth or Dare” game initiated by her friend, Marygold.
“The first time I met Baba Tee was in July last year when Marygold told me we should go to his house because she wanted to invite him to the launching of her movie. When we got there, Baba Tee didn’t know I was Lande’s wife, we greeted, and Marygold said she wanted to drink alcohol.
“There was no alcohol in the house, so Marygold and Baba Tee’s driver went to buy it while I sat down in the living room. Baba Tee and I didn’t talk till they returned.
PWhen Marygold entered the house, she said we should start a ‘Truth or Dare’ game. I didn’t want to, but she encouraged me, so I told Baba Tee that I was Lande’s wife, and we started the game.
“As the game was going on, Marygold stripped herself naked and gave Baba Tee a BJ. By then, I had already drunk 10 shots of alcohol while Marygold and Baba Tee were smoking ‘Igbo’ (marijuana). Marygold then dared Baba Tee to give me a doggy style, so Baba Tee went to get a condom.
“When he returned, I told him I would not allow doggy, but I would sit on him. We then told Marygold to turn to the wall so she wouldn’t watch us. I only sat on his lap; we didn’t do anything,” she explained.

‘Artists Are Stressful’ – Tiwa Savage Explains Why She Won’t Sign New Talent

Award-winning Nigerian singer and actress, Tiwa Savage, has stated that she has no plans to sign upcoming artists, citing the challenges of artist management.
