Nollywood producer and actor Ani Amatosero, better known as Effixzzy Boss, expressed her frustration about some of her colleagues who owe her large sums of money for jobs she has done for them.
She took to her Instagram page to share a video in which she vented her feelings.
In the video, she revealed that one actor has owed her N1.3 million for over a year and 7 months, while two other actors owe her N800,000 and N700,000 respectively.
She addressed her fellow actors, stating that if they have been paid for a job but are unable to fulfill their obligations, they should either reschedule or refund the money.
She emphasized that she has had positive experiences working with many professional actors who have been honest and reliable.
She warned her debtors that they must settle their debts by giving her the money they owed, or else face the possibility of their secrets being revealed.
“I don’t want to do this but I think at this point I have to. I have 3 artistes that I paid; one is 1 year 7 months now, my money with this person is N1.3million; the second one N800,000 and the third one N650,000.If you know you’ve been paid for a job and you know you can’t do it, if you reschedule one or twice it’s okay for the producer to be understand. But if you know you can’t do it again, then refund. That’s what I think and know cause I have worked with several people, so professional, if they know they can’t do the job, they wouldn’t take the money or they will tell me to hold it till they are ready.
But at this point, it’s looking like I am a mumu or I don’t have sense. At the time I paid this money, dollar was already low and I know what I would have gained if I had invested the money in a business.
I know you’re watching this video. The next time I will do it, I will call your name. I have reported to AGN chairman, he is on this case. We have rescheduled the movie almost 10 times. Please I am begging you in the name of God cause I know you will see this video”.
She stated in her caption that the economy is not doing well and she is not financially secure, emphasizing her urgent need for money.
“It’s so unfortunate that I have to really do this. This economy is not smiling. I no be big girl abeg. I need my money in 2 weeks if not una names go drop and nothing ho happen”.
Charles Inojie, Sarah Martins, Anita Joseph, Victoria Inyama, Walter Anga, and Pere Egbi all expressed their opinions on the matter in the comment section.
Charles Inojie commented, “To the extent that you lacked the courage to call them out. It would appear the thing never really pain you. Oppression persists when you condone it”.
Sarah Martins commented, “This is bad. Abeg collect your money”.
Anita Joseph commented, “A year and gini kwa. Person hold my money hiaaa they no born the person. Shallom taaaa, make them pay you now before we enter”.
Victoria Inyama commented, “No signed contract? Hmmm”.
Walter Anga commented, “Take heart, God is your strength”.
Pere Egbi commented, “One year seven months. Godamm”.
Couple of weeks ago, Etinosa Idemudia expressed her frustration about being owed money by a former contestant of BBNaija, whom she believed to be wealthy.
In a subsequent post, she disclosed that the BBNaija star in question was Pere and confirmed that she had received the full payment.
She sent a message to Pere, asserting that she is not his equal in the industry and offered him some advice.
