Jim Iyke says  his standards as raised in Nollywood

In an interview with Naij.com, Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke discussed issue pertaining to his life and career.  The actor also revealed that the reason why he hasn’t been appearing in movies recently is that he is more expensive now.

Read his interview below:

“We are in an economy that has not been kind to its youth so that lives a narrow way to make ends meet. Entertainment seems like the only viable option for now. Our government is not doing what they are supposed to do. And we should be happy that these youths are not turning to crime. I don’t care if there is an overload of people joining the industry, let them keep coming. You have to go through training and also be able to take constructive criticism. You should put in work, once you do, you are an actor.

Truthfully, not anybody can afford me as it were. Without sounding immodest, I’ve paid my dues through blood, sweat and tears. So I’ve set a certain fee and a certain standard. I’m a man that talks about salaries to pay and ensuring that I’m going from riches to wealth. So, it’s just so happens that anyone that approaches me has to come correct. The script has to be excellent and of course the money has to be right. ”
