Actresses and actors are not well paid and we need money to survive - Sola Sobowale

Actress Sola Sobowale has revealed  that she needs money to survive and to feed herself like every other working Nigerian.  Sola Sobowale gave an instance were she shot a movie for N5.8m 2 years ago and she only made N3m back which is a loss. She thanked God she did not borrow money for the production of the money. She said  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 also said producing moves is her passion and she lives in England but she brings back all the money back to Nigeria to shoot a movie

On why the produce quantity movies instead of quality movies, she said;

 

It’s a pity because you know the answer yourself. We need to 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?

 

If she is fulfilled as an actress, she said;

 

I am not talking about money but you know something in life? 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
