Fast-rising Nollywood actress Olaide Bisola Omobolanle, popularly known as Nicebody4real on Instagram, has shared her journey in the Nigerian movie industry, recounting the challenges she faced as a newcomer and her determination to succeed.
The Ogun State-born actress, who hails from Abeokuta, joined Nollywood in June 2024 and has featured in several Yoruba movies, including Bi Ife Oto, Omo Yankee, Vinto International and Abiamo.
Speaking about her experience in the industry, Bisola said passion for acting has kept her motivated despite difficult circumstances.
She recalled one of her earliest movie productions, where she spent more than a month on location without receiving financial support for accommodation, feeding or transportation. According to her, she also did not receive payment for her role.
“I stayed on location for over a month. My accommodation wasn’t paid for, there was no food allowance, no fuel support and I wasn’t even paid for the role I acted. I also had to buy extra clothes because I never imagined I would stay that long,” she said.
Despite the experience, the actress said she remained focused on pursuing her acting career.
“I didn’t complain because I have so much passion for acting. I love what I do, and that passion helped me overcome the challenges,” she added.
Since making her debut, Bisola has continued to build her profile in the Yoruba movie industry with appearances in several productions and an expanding presence on social media.
She said she remains committed to developing her acting career and hopes her story will inspire other aspiring actors to remain steadfast in pursuing their dreams despite setbacks.
