Last month October, SOJWORLD.COM had a special interview with an age long superstar of Yoruba Nollywood, Alhaji Kareem Adepoju aka Baba Wande.  He complained the marketers and pirates are showing them hell making the business unprofitable.

MADAM SAJE:  Another popular actress who has spent over 45 years in the Nollywood Industry, Mrs. Fausat Balogun aka Madam Saje is still complaining that artists are really suffering.

She said there is not structure in place and pirates eating up the gains they would have derived from their hard labour.

“Our leaders should have mercy on us. There is suffering in Nollywood. I just pray that God will make them have good thoughts towards us. If we are treated the way actors are treated in the western countries, you can imagine where we would be. The only thing keeping many of us here is the passion we have for the job. If not for that, some people would have resorted to selling wares at Oshodi. There are no structures in place and pirates are also dealing with us.

“I can only speak for myself. I cannot say anything about what people do in their private moments. However, if the industry is buoyant, there wouldn’t even be mention of things like this. It is because of the hardship in the sector that some people engage in untoward acts.”
