There is money in entertainment- Jide Awobona

Nigerian actor, Jide Awobona, says entertainers are being paid well in the entertainment industry.

The actor stated this in a chat with Punch.

He however said that it may take a lot of time for someone to make it in the industry.

He said “Entertainers work very hard. I just finished shooting a movie, after 24 days (on set), and I was paid well. The fact that celebrities live luxurious lives should be expected because it is showbiz.

“Although there are some entertainers who are not as big as they portray on social media, there is money in entertainment. It only takes time for one to make it. One cannot be an entertainer doing the right things, and not smile to the bank.”

He further advised youths shun gambling and fraud while focusing on better things to do with their lives.

Awobona added “My advice to the youth is that regardless of what is happening in society right now, in terms of unemployment, they can still do great things with their lives.

“There are so many things they can do to make money, without gambling or getting involved in cybercrime. They can learn any craft. They don’t have to be employed; they can actually start businesses and employ people.”
