Popular actor, Jim Iyke has revealed why he has not been acting in Nigerian movies as he used to.
He made this known in a recent chat with TheNetng.
He said that the local movie producers are not financially buoyant enough to afford him.
He also stated that he has not been away from the movie scene but has been busy on his quest to create opportunities and jobs for Nigerian youths.
Read his interview comments below:
“I have not been away, it is the producers who cannot afford me. So I know my worth. But I have been busy creating opportunities and jobs for Nigerian Youths so that we all can live better lives. ‘My team and I have created a new app called ‘Oga Work’ App. it is an App that makes it easy to find quality service providers, Job Recruiters. We did not just build an App for the play store and App Store for business as usual. We built an App that provides solutions to your financial and career problems so that youths would not just sit back and wait for the government to provide jobs for them’.
Speaking on the recent viral Lagos tanker explosion he said;
‘It has been a terrible month, I hate June, 2018. This month has been registered in our mental archives as one of the worst months ever, this not the time to trade blames. We have one of the worst leaderships ever and it’s not a question of contest anymore, trust me, as people, we are so passive about certain things that happen to us that it just begins to look like sheer ignorance and we are not those kind of people’. ‘We are one of the most informed people. I do not understand how some things happen in here and this Government gets away with things or any other government for that matter. Our people literally just wake up and have a certain propensity to absorb some of the most tragic shocks and just take it with a smile and move on. We now wear it like a badge of honour to go through pain and come out with our heads up.”
