The social media influencer and rising actor mentioned that Nigerian actors cannot depend on just one movie a year like their Hollywood counterparts.

Enioluwa points out that Nollywood does not have the capacity to support as many newcomers as expected.

“People often say they’re tired of seeing the same faces in Nigerian films. However, unlike in Hollywood, actors in Nigeria can’t afford to do just one film a year— how much are they paying. The industry currently can’t support as many newcomers as people might expect because, realistically, many of them wouldn’t be able to meet even their basic needs. No one wants to be famous and financially unstable,” he wrote.
