Nollywood actor, Ganiu Morufu, better known as Ijoba Lande, has shared a shocking account of his experience working with popular Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele.
Lande, in a video that surfaced on social media narrated how he was paid a meager N90,000 for a month’s work, despite his excitement and anticipation of a life-changing opportunity.
According to the comic sensation, the prominent film maker reached out to him on Instagram after being impressed by one of his videos.
He was thrilled at the prospect of working with the renowned actress and eagerly accepted the offer. However, his enthusiasm was short-lived.
Lande, however disclosed that he was surprised to find that Funke Akindele was not as approachable upon arriving at her residence in Amen Estate.
He added that he was unable to take a single photo with her despite spending an entire month working at her estate.
The terms of Lande’s employment were outlined in a contract presented by a producer named Wendy, which stipulated a monthly payment of N90,000.
Lande signed the contract, assuming it was a mere formality, but was shocked when he received the paltry sum at the end of the month.
In the viral video, he advised his colleagues to recognize their worth and demand fair compensation, rather than being intimidated by influential figures in the industry. He vowed to bill anyone who approaches him for work, regardless of their status or fame.
