Actor and comedian Ganiyu Kehinde Morufu, popularly known as Ijoba Lande, has opened up about his disappointing experience working with popular actress and producer Funke Akindele.
The comedian shared that he spent a month working on a movie produced by Akindele at Amen Estate but was only paid a meager N90,000. He said he was shocked by the small payment as he expected more.
Speaking in a video message shared via his social media, Lande said, “There was a time Funke Akindele called me for a movie production at Amen Estate, and we spent one month there. I was shocked when she gave me N90,000 after spending one month.”
He advised aspiring actors not to idolize top industry figures, stressing the importance of negotiating fees before accepting roles.
“I have learned my lesson. I will always state my charges before going to any location. When she called me, I was too excited to discuss payment, only to end up with N90k after one month,” the actor added.
