Linda Osifo reveals why women in Nollywood have more money than men

Popular Nollywood actress, Linda Osifo has given reasons as to why most women in the Nigerian movie industry are more successful than their male counterparts.

In an interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on 'Rubbing Minds', the actress was asked why women do better financially and have more cars than men in the industry.

Linda answered that actresses have a lot of ambassadorial deals from clothing brands, wig brands, and skincare brands.

According to her, this helps them make more money and are able to acquire properties than the male actors.

“As a woman compared to a man I have more options to get more jobs than a man.

“I can advertise hair, wigs, shoes and a wide range of clothes from brands which most men cannot. The ratio of men to women is 1:3 which makes the market wider for us.

“I’ve become a brand ambassador to skincare brands and that’s an industry that men don’t dominate and conquer so this is how women are more successful.

“Women have more opportunities to make money.

“I’ve come to understand that society has the mindset that most women can’t succeed on their own. It’s a big problem because there are many women who are doing so much for themselves.

“The more people on social media platforms, the more you can market to them but at the end of the day talent sustains success,” she said.
