“Let me tell you something funny. When I started acting, I wasn’t famous at all. I just wanted to be on set. I didn’t care about money, I just wanted people to see me.
One day, I got a role in a movie. I was so happy! I acted from morning till night — shouting, running, doing everything they told me. I even used my own money to come to the location.
After the whole thing, guess what they gave me? One plate of rice and one bottle of Coke. That was my payment! I looked at the food, and I just laughed. I said, “So this is how I will blow in this industry?”
I didn’t complain that day. I just told myself, "Don’t worry. One day, they will pay you well."
Now, people see me and think I just appeared like that. But they don’t know I once acted for jollof rice and Coke”
