The current Nollywood has not really seen the 2 screen goddesses Genny and Omotola on its screen in recent times….(except in some few recent movies…i know of ”last flight to Abuja”, i’ve forgotten the name of the other movie).well the reason is not really far fetched, its because they are not readily affordable. their charges are sometimes like half of the entire budget earmarked for a movie(wow)….
Obi Emelonye spoke on the issue, and this is was he said…“Genevieve and Omotola are the two biggest actresses we have in Nollywood, they cannot afford to charge less than their status and that is where the problem comes in. Their charges are probably above what the industry can afford. Their charges are like half of the entire production budget so which producer can afford that?”What they can do now as it is with other big stars all over the world, is that they should begin to fund their own productions and act in them, they can act whatever role will enhance their brand, they need to start a production company now, and push themselves because they need to remain relevant and must not be seen as jobless. If corporate bodies perceive them as jobless they won’t want to do business with them, they might even price them cheap.” Hmnnn, do you agree? i really do not believe they are jobless..
