Nigeria still does not have stable electricity in the 21st century. That's a major setback and the worst thing to happen to this country imo. |

EVEN ACTORS DEY COMPLAIN:
Nollywood actor Yemi Solade is fed up of Nigeria and
has cried out that he may start planning on relocating
to another country with his family.
Read his rant during an interview with Punchng.com
below.
Solade noted that although some of his Nollywood
colleagues seem to be doing well for themselves, they
may be into other things asides from acting.
“For the first time in a long while, I gave up on Nigeria.
I might decide to relocate to another country and this
is what I always criticise my colleagues for.
Nigeria is killing me. I have been so patriotic, but I
think I have to face the reality now. I have a job that is
not putting meals on my table the way it should and I
don’t want my children to suffer.
It is terrible if we continue to lose our best minds to
other countries. I don’t want to have money like Femi
Otedola; I don’t pray for it and I don’t need it at my
age. All I need are the basic things in life, which I can
use to take care of myself, my wife and my children.
“I struggle to get good jobs; I have done my best. I
should have left Nigeria 20 years ago, but I stayed to
contribute my quota to its development.
I am getting older; I am older than some of the
governors in Nigeria and I cannot be running to them
for survival. I cannot steal money like some people do
and we all know that stealing is not good. I pay my
bills with the pay I get from producers, but it is tiny. I
am bleeding inwards right now and it is not good for
my age. I have to begin to look elsewhere for survival.
“I am a thoroughbred professional. I don’t know what
my colleagues do, though I see most of them running
after people in government.
I cannot serve one or two senators who will probably
give me a jeep or any other car. Anytime I want to
travel, the senator takes care of my ticket also. But
that is not my orientation. I don’t need to run to
anyone when I have a job.
There is no way anyone will tell me that an actor who
drives a luxury car gets the money from acting.
Inasmuch as I don’t want to go into details, we all
know this. Once our profession is attractive, actors
don’t need to struggle to pay their bills.
I have been an actor for over four decades; so, if I ask
for N2m for a role, is it too much?
Wizkid and Davido only perform on stage for a few
minutes and they attract millions of naira. I am happy
for these young men, but it is not the case for actors
who spend long hours on set.
The Yoruba arm of the industry is not as lucrative as
you think. For me, I just stick to the job and I depend
on whatever I earn as an actor from producers. From
the look of things, the few of us who started early in
the industry are the ones suffering.
I am happy for the likes of Odunlade Adekola, who
came afterwards and they feel he is better. Since the
younger people share the resources with each other,
what do I do?
I am not a producer and I don’t think there is anything
wrong about that. Once a producer calls you and you
demand a certain amount, they run away and bring in
their untrained friends.
The actors who are getting it right should tell us how
they have been able to live very comfortable. I have
people that I go to for one help or the other, but they
trivialise it and I can’t be begging you because I want
you to invest in a project.
Once you go to them for assistance, they can ask you
to link them up with one actress.”

Nig4Greatness: People like you are one of the reasons that Nigeria is the unwholesome mess that it currently is! How can Nigeria change if we keep insisting that Nigeria is heaven on earth? With reference to the bolded part of your post, you are indeed hypocritical and entitled. You are screaming racial discrimination because a cop only asked you for your ID, then to make matters worse you gave him attitude. Why didn't you just give him the ID? Are you aware that cops also stop white people to ask for their IDs? Weren't you taught basic respect as a child? Or is it because you are in the States that you think you should not respect authority? For heavens sake if you go to Nigeria and drive in Lagos you will be stopped by police at least once a week. Will you call that discrimination? Even worse when you are stopped by Nigerian police, they will demand for bribe. Has any American cop ever asked for a bribe when he stopped you? Last time I was in Nigeria, Ojuelegba bus stop to be specific I was stopped by a cop because I was carrying my backpack!! He then demanded to see my phone and the contents of my laptop. I told him he had no right to search my laptop as he had no search warrant. Has any American cop EVER stopped you on the road and demanded to see your laptop?? My advice to you is to be thankful for where you are and stop this inane pissing contest about whether Nigeria is better than America. I love my country but the honest truth is Nigeria is a jungle where nothing works. My prayer is that this would change in our lifetime. However pretending that Nigeria is an awesome country is NOT the way to bring about the change that the country DESPERATELY needs! 27 Likes |

This has simply gone beyond ranting or advice, it is now about the truth. Even the Bible said it "If you don't like where you find yourself, MOVE!! " "any man who can't feed his household is like an infidel" (O.Y.O) which means you should strive/endeavor/seek/venture to make it --at least to feed your family/household. Look at the Mexicans , from January to December, a Mexican can illegaly entire and get deported 12 times from the US , still him go still do Xmas for US that year, cheesy grin why !Why! At least we seek legal entery..... We have to tell ourselves the truth... If you are of good status to apply for a US visa and you decide to stay back by any which way legal, weigh your options.....but I tell you, US is often better or any other country of your choice ( in the western world). Now, let's say you have saved up 1m+ in Nigeria to invest... how long did it take to save it? how many more years do you need to save up in order to do the necessary things in our homeland ... Building a house for example, buying a car.. If you nor marry na Wahala .. If you marry ..Baby food!! wife's start up capital... Which business apart from food stuffs moves in Nija? Can we invest in it? is it doable? Does any business move at all these days?? What if I get fired? What if I'm not paid? What if my boss dies? Sickness nkooo (God forbid ). how bad can it possible get in Nigeria before it finally get's better.? Can it ever get better..... WHAT IS THE GUARANTEE for THE FUTURE OF OUR OFFSPRING .... embarassed Can I EVER do the necessary here.. undecided ..and so on....... After all the above . I think the truth would surface. 10 Likes |

sevule:..... Double tragedy!!!!.LMAO!!!...Nigeria loosing and one idiot calling me out for busting their bubble.wtf...like seriously....I think I may have to go personal on this one now. who is this hell of a guy trying to claim hero of Wakanda by calling me out with insult??.the load big pass you to carry. Am sure you lack ability to comprehend simple english and I CHALLENGE you to quote or point out where I compared or rated Nigeria better than that of America in all my posts here or is it because I called you and your likes out who live a miserable fake,debt ridden with govt support lifestyles and come here to compare America to heaven where there's no sickness or death?.mine is to balance and counter your exaggerations where possible.it's obvious you were drunk when written this rebuttal. So police stopping you abroad is "obeying constituted authority" but your likes call it a crime against humanity if same thing happens in nigeria.this is the height of hypocrisy. Moreso,kindly show me in the statutes book where police can pull you over in traffic even when no traffic violations were committed.or are you too busy with your low paying jobs that you hadly pay attentoon to series of racial profiling happening every day here?,then it shows how dumb and stupid you are. Yes,I am an African American for a reason,reason definitely different from yours and dont think all Nigerians are as poor as you and your likes who can't afford a dishwasher but instead slaving their destiny away abroad for. Don't know why people won't mind their own business and respect individual decisions based on their realities. 1 Like |
