Rising nollywood actor, Davidson
Dike is categorically saying the
economic situation of the
country is turning many actors into a gigolo or playboy.
"It's disturbing how many youths
have developed a penchant for
being 'playboys' and 'gigolos'. It's
disturbing! I tell you, even in
Nollywood. It's on the increase
lately especially with the ongoing
economy recession. The impact
of the current Nigerian economic
downturn on practitioners of the
Nigerian movie industry is
alarming."
"Many good looking actors have
turned into glorified gigolos
sleeping around with rich
women and many of these
women are married. Imagine
that.
"The excuse many of these fine
boys give is that 'boys must
survive na'. But what I'm trying to
say is that every lifestyle we
indulge in will sooner or later tell
on us. There is a repercussion for
everything.
"I am from a strong Christian
background. I can't compromise
my integrity for money. Think
about it. Importantly, I won't stop
insisting that actors should
diversify.
"Don't make yourself 'sex
hawkers', get industrious. That is
one thing i do. I have another
business I run. Our industry is
not the type that brings a
consistent income, so you just
must have a backup," he said
