Nollywood Actress, Tayo Odueke Speaks On Depression, Low Pay In The Movie Industry

Nollywood actress, Tayo Odueke, who is popularly known as Sikiratu Sindodo, in her recent post on social media cried out on how discouraging the pay in the movie industry is.

The actress during her chat with reporters in Lagos State during the weekend also shared her view on depression. She said;

“I don’t have any regrets being in the industry. Just like in every other area of life, there are ups and downs. I just thank God that I’m still here because many people I started together with are no longer around. However, that is not to say that there are no challenges.

“The pay in the industry is poor and it is not encouraging at all. It is the passion one has that has kept one in the industry for this long. You only make money when you produce your own movies. Ordinarily, that shouldn’t be so. There is a lot of potential in the industry and we only need the right support to excel.”

Sharing her thoughts on depression, the actress said,

“I believe that there is nobody that doesn’t get depressed but it all depends on how you manage it. There will always be ups and down. You may fall several times but never forget to get back up.

“The case of people in the entertainment industry is peculiar because we make people laugh by what we do but some of us are going through pains of different kinds. Some people now make it worse by trolling celebrities on social media and saying horrible things to them. Stars are humans too and we have emotions.”
