Nollywood Actress Nuella Nnjubigbo Defends Stereotype Of Actresses Being Wayward

Actress Nuella Nujubigbo has long been the topic of gossip. She has been accused by the media in the past of having an affair with a top Nigerian Governor and was also held responsible for the marital breakdown of Nollywood star producer Tchidi Chikere. The actress is now taking a stand to clear her name and defend other actresses that are being labeled as 'wayward'. 

Here is what she had to say about accusations that 'someone' (assumed a married man) is funding her luxury lifestyle.

"I can only speak for myself. I have other businesses that I do by the side. But even if it’s just acting, what I earn can actually get me such car and even live well. Those saying all that, I am not sure they have gone to the market to see the number of movies I have done in the last one year. 

I have done a lot. In January alone I shot five movies. Even if I am paid just N150,000, multiply it by the amount of movies I have done. Now, multiply that with what I will do in an entire year, of course I can conveniently buy this car. It is funny the way people look at us in this industry and think we are poor people. I heard that as at the time Tonto Dike bought her Hummer Jeep, she was charging N400,000 upward.

In a month, Tonto can shoot six movies. So multiply that N400,000 by six in a month. Even if she doesn’t have the whole money for the car of her choice, she can deposit half of the money with a dealer and they will give her the car because she is a star. So, people need to understand all this whenever they want to criticize us."
