ActorKenneth Aguba
Nollywood actor, and scriptwriter, Kenneth Jideofor, better known as Kenneth Aguba, has revealed how he was paid N5,000 after he featured in movies.
Aguba, who was formerly homeless, said this in a recent video.
He also disclosed that some of the movie directors even refused to pay him after he had rendered his service.
Aguba’s revelation follows recent stories bordering on his homelessness which propelled the general overseer of Omega Power Ministry (OPM), Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, to lend him a helping hand.
In the interview Aguba expressed readiness to give acting another shot.
“I’ve acted in so many movies between Calabar and Owerri. I’ve acted everywhere and I started in 2003. They just suffered me; they can’t pay me. I remember acting in Jos, he carried my money and asked me to come back to Jos to collect my money.
“How can? How much will I spend on the journey before I reach Jos? He kept that one. Many times, it happened, they ate my money. They didn’t pay me well. They gave me N5,000, they are happy. They think they are paying me.”
