Nigerian actress and producer, Lilian Afegbai has broken the silence on why some veteran actors and actresses in the movie or entertainment industry at large are famous yet broke.
According to the actress, having a passion for acting solely without being prepared on other grounds to wait for as long as it may take for your career to kick off and start making money, you will become famous but run broke.
She mentioned that while you work on your passion for the acting profession, you equally work alongside that and invest your time into other things that will bring to income – start a business.
She sees some of these people whom others looked up to from childhood but are still not getting what they deserve to be their own fault because they failed to invest in their time and effort into other things alongside their passion.
Her Instagram post reads:
“IF YOU HAVE PASSION TO BE AN ACTOR OR CET IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY IN GENERAL AND YOU ARE NOT READY TO WAIT FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES YOU WILL GET BROKE IF ALL YOU ARE DOING IS FOLLOWING THE PASSION OF BECOMING AND ACTOR IN NIGERIA YOU WILL BE FAMOUS AND BROKE. IT’S BEST TO DO THAT 9-5, START UP A BUSINESS, INVEST YOUR TIME MORE IN THE THINGS THAT WILL HELP YOU MAKE THAT MONEY THEN YOU CAN KEEP FOLLOWING YOUR PASSION OR BETTER STILL TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR OWN DREAM SOME OF THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE LOOKED UP TO FROM CHILDHOOD ARE STILL NOT GETTING WHAT THEY DESERVE BE INTENTIONAL.”
