Popular Nigerian actress and movie producer, Ruth Kadiri, has issued a powerful message to her fellow colleagues in the Nollywood film industry, urging them to resist the pressure from producers who set unattainable expectations. In a candid post shared on her Instagram, Kadiri spoke out against the unrealistic standards placed on actors, particularly those who are expected to achieve one million YouTube views in a single day.The actress criticized producers who judge the success of a film based on this single metric, calling such demands a reflection of the producer's failure rather than the actor's performance.
She emphasized that a successful production goes beyond just the actor's face on screen and requires much more effort, planning, and investment. "Dear Nollywood actors!!!
Take the pressure off your shoulder!!
Any producer who requires one million views from you in one day has failed!
