AliBaba further stressed that there are ladders to climb, hurdles to jump, sacrifices to make and disappointments to experience.
Sharing series of post of a recent conversation he had with a friend who wants to get into the Nollywood industry,
Ali Baba wrote,
“So I shared these with a friend who wants to get into the Nollywood industry… I also made her know that it is the greatest mistake to go into the sector hoping to become Genevieve or Omotola overnight.
“Especially when what you want to actually be, is to live the kind of life they are leading now. No one will start paying you between 1m to 5m, from day one.
“There are ladders to climb, hurdles to jump, sacrifices to make and disappointments to experience. If you are good, the sky is the limit. But first, make sure you have what it takes. I decided to share.
“It just might help someone out there. Oh by the way, THE LIFESTYLE OF MANY ACTORS YOU SEE IS NOT FUNDED BY ACTING ALONE.
“Many do other businesses. There are contractors, businessmen, car dealers, fashion shop owners, merchants, Mceeing, brand influencing, celebrity appearances, endorsements, investors… that’s where the chanel bags, Louis Vitton, YSL, Hermes, Birkin and co items come from. As for the movies, many actually do it for the love and for career fulfilment.
“The fame na jara. To earn 2m per movie set no be beans”.
