‘Nollywood producers cannot afford me’ – Jim Iyke

Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke, has disclosed why he is no longer seen in many Nigerian films.

The Nollywood lover boy said he has not appeared in any movie recently because most movie producers could no longer afford his fees.

Speaking in an interview with NET, he said “I have not been away, it is the producers who cannot afford me. So, I know my worth.

“But I have been busy creating opportunities and jobs for Nigerian youths so that we all can live better lives.”

On the reports that the recent actors lacked creativity and talent, Iyke said, “It is wrong to say today’s artists lack productivity and talent. When the likes of Ramsey Nuoah, Emeka Ike and I were acting, that was what was said about us as well, but I did not let it bother me. We learnt on the job and we got better with time. So, I think they will also get better with time.”
