By Ganiyu Kehinde Morufu, popularly known as Ijoba Lande, has shared his disappointing experience working with actress and producer Funke Akindele, also known as Jenifa.
Ijoba Lande revealed that he spent an entire month filming a movie produced by Akindele at Amen Estate in Lagos, only to be paid N90,000 at the end. He expressed his shock at the low payment, as he had expected a higher amount for his time and effort.
In a video message posted on his social media, Lande recalled, “There was a time Funke Akindele called me for a movie production at Amen Estate, and we spent one month there. I was shocked when she gave me N90,000 after spending one month.”
The actor advised aspiring actors to avoid idolizing big names in the industry and to always negotiate payment before accepting roles.
“I have learned my lesson. I will always state my charges before going to any location. When she called me, I was too excited to discuss payment, only to end up with N90k after one month,” Lande added.
