Some Nigerian actors have taken to Instagram to speak against the working conditions and pay Nigerian actors have to deal with.

Gideon said Nigerian actors are paid “peanuts”, the food is “whack”, and working conditions are “slave-like”.

He told Nigerians not to envy actors who doll up on the red carpet at movie awards because it’s all packaging.

Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde responded, agreeing with him.

Gideon’s post is in response to an interview actress Adunni Ade granted to call for better pay for actors.
