“I am in support of this. The likes of Lalude and co were the veterans who did ‘theatre’ for the passion and gave their all to the craft when there was little or no monetary gains. Surprised he isn’t mobile. Life!”

“They don’t pay them well at all. Most of these baba get 20k-30k for movie roles. Their almighty stars get 50k-80k for lead roles o. The A list stars get 150k-200k. Yoruba movie pay is so poor.”
