The film industry in Nigeria makes billions of naira yearly and has proven to be one of our major exports, which is one reason we need to guard it jealously. Our Actors and actresses are living examples. The life of fame, glamor, money and flamboyance has become the order of their day and its a life many of us day dream, simply put, a life of luxuries that each of the actors is to leave in a movie we love.

Though celebrities are nocturnal by nature due to the nature of their profession, well known for their night movements, they spend practically half of their day playing games, drinking and sleeping which is majorly because they do their own outing at night but do not be deceived, more than half of them cannot boast of liquid cash of 5million in their accounts, not because they are broke but because they are high spenders, most lack the mentality of managing money which is the major reason they go broke after making so much, though this isnt peculiar to just Nigerian celebs, it’s a major virus that has been existing in this industry world wide.

There are certain individuals whom I will say are the crème of the entertainment industry especially the actors and we base our estimations of their net worth on their endorsement deals with national and multinational companies, movie per show, properties in choice areas, investment and the likes.

The Minister  said this about President Buhari when he spoke with journalists in Awka, Anambra State. According to Ngige, the age of President Buhari does not in anyway impede his leadership skills.
