 Why women earn more in Nollywood - Norbert Young


Veteran Nollywood actor Norbert Young has shared his opinion on why women make more money than men in Nollywood.

The 63-year-old Warri-born movie star stated this in an interview where he discusses a series of topics including the evolution of Nollywood, pension plans for veteran actors, and how the government can contribute to the development of the film industry.

According to him, women have more bargaining power than men, and women attract more money, adding that it does not make them wayward.

“People love women, they love what they do and women attract more money. It does not make them wayward or anything like that, women get gifts more than men do. Also, every actor has their own bargaining power and maybe the women are bargaining better,” he stated.

“But I do not go asking how much you are paid, and you do not come asking me how much I am paid. Better is relative, I think it depends on priorities and what is better for you might not be better for me,” he added.

Speaking on his view about a trend of ailing actors who are constantly seen on social media pleading for funds to get medical help, Young said because it is Nollywood, it is amplified and blown out of proportion.

“If you are on social media you will see many people doing this but everybody thinks it is only in Nollywood. It happens all over the world,” he said.

Norbert Young is an ace Nigerian actor whose career in the film industry spans over three decades. He has been featured in several projects including ‘Third Eye’, ‘Checkmate’, ‘Tinsel’ and ‘Family Circle’. In addition to his work in television and films, Young has appeared in several plays and stage productions.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
