Nollywood actress, Abiodun Okeowo popularly known as Omobutty, has finally revealed her source of income. In an interview with (News Agency of Nigeria) NAN, the mother of two disclosed that acting does not pay her bills.
According to the curvy actress, she makes her money from the business she does. The 39 year old said that could not meet up her needs through acting, hence, the need for her to go into business.
“I pay more attention to my business than acting, although I love acting and the entertainment industry, money is also important,” she said.
Omobutty revealed further revealed that the money most of Nollywood actors collect is not enough to foot all bills, especially those of with huge responsibilities. “The reason some of us started paying attention to businesses years ago. That is why someone like me have done less movies and focused more on businesses that is more profitable.” Biodun said
In her words “Acting will give you name, recognition, often more access and in some cases very supportive fans. My advice is as you come into this industry or continue in this job, have a legitimate side business, build quality relationships, become a serious minded business woman and expect less from any man.
I have had people talk about men making women in the industry rich and I wonder what man can make you rich and help you sustain wealth like a business will do.
My advice again is that you focus on yourself building legitimate businesses, all the rest will just be an addition. If you are lucky to meet a man who adds more to your wealth, all well and good, please grab it with both hands. There’s nothing wrong with addition, ogun subtraction ni ka ma ri (may we not encounter subtraction IJN)…”
