Nollywood actor/producer Jim Iyke has revealed that movie producers decided to stop casting him for two years after he stood up for poorly paid Nigerian actors.
He made this known while speaking at the International Youth Empowerment Summit in Accra, Ghana, saying that at the time producers and directors were becoming multi-millionaires, while the actors were wallowing in poverty and struggling to make ends meet.
According to him, to change the structure, he demanded better pay for his colleagues and when his request was not heeded, he called a group of actors and asked them to ask for “more money.”
The movie producers however stood their ground and banned them because, according to Jim Iyke, they didn’t think the actors deserved the pay rise. And as such, they ended up recruiting new actors, all of this happened in 2004.
