Nollywood actor, Bimbo Manuel has come out to say that his colleagues living in mansions and driving Range Rovers are living fake lives.

He recently had his say while he appeared as a guest on TVC’s Your View, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, there is no actor in Nigeria that can come out to say he or she bought a Range Rover from acting fees alone.

Bimbo added that he prefers to live a humble and realistic life because it feels like wealth to him.

His words, “I like a humble and realistic life. If I wanted to go to the fish market as I usually do, I could, and I feel very rich and that’s enough for me.

When it comes to the fees for actors, the experience you have counts. It suggests to the person who wants to employ you and it’s not as if there’s a fixed rate, it fluctuates. A friend can call you and ask you to help with the job so you won’t charge as much.

The thing about people riding range rovers and living in mansions in Ikoyi and so on, I think it’s absolutely fake. There is no actor in Nigeria that would say he can buy or she can buy a Range Rover from acting fees alone.”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
