There has been speculations before now that Nollywood actress Ibinabo Fiberisima, who just got re-elected as President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria for a second term has been collecting money from the federal government to carry out some of its operations.
The actress has addressed some issues regarding her tenure and what she still plans to do. She also said the president does not give her money to do anything.
“President Goodluck Jonathan has done a lot for Nollywood. He has helped us tremendously. Maybe some people are thinking that he is giving me money. But he is not doing that.
They forget that there is a process you must pass through to get money from government as a Nollywood professional, not necessarily as an actor. Movie producers, directors, editors, scriptwriters, even costumiers have all been able to get access to funds to train themselves.
People should learn and understand what is going on in the film industry before attacking other people.” She said. She also said Nollywood actors do not beg anymore, because there is now a health plan for them.
“Now that we have a health plan for Nollywood actors and actresses, you don’t see many of us begging any more. So we don’t have actors asking us to raise money for them again.
We are telling all actors now that if they are not valid members of the guild and something bad happens to them, they are on their own. No state governor or government will come to their aid, if they are not registered members of AGN.”
