Veteran actor Bob-Manuel Udokwu has offered insight into the financial challenges faced by Nigerian male actors compared to their female colleagues
In a recent interview, he suggested that life tends to be easier for women, while male actors are burdened with numerous financial responsibilities
Reflecting on the late John Okafor, better known as Mr Ibu’s illness, Udokwu expressed disappointment at how the public questioned his wealth. He noted that many people fail to understand the profession’s realities, adding that he was unaware Okafor had multiple wives at the time
He said::”Life is generally easier for women than it is for men. It’s not that Nollywood doesn’t pay, but actors have a lot of bills to settle.”
“It pained me when John Okafor fell ill before he eventually passed away. While we were trying to raise funds for his treatment, some people on social media kept asking, ‘Where is all the money he made from acting?’
“They didn’t understand the realities of the profession. I didn’t even know he had married more than one wife then.”
