Juliet Ibrahim fires back after being told to dump acting for another job

Juliet Ibrahim has reacted after her fellow actors were told to go look for something else to do instead of complaining about movie producers not paying them.

MyNigeria reported that the movie industry in Ghana got stirred up earlier this week after veteran actor, Kofi Adjorlolo, called out movie producers with claims that they are owing him money.

His voice was supported by many actors who have found themselves in similar situations in the Ghanaian movie industry.

However, actor Elikem Kumordzi kicked against their cry by telling them to go find some other job to do.

“I agree one hundred per cent that producers don’t pay … being in that position made me realize this other talent mine”, he said.

He added that “This goes to all other actors, you can’t wanna do entertainment and not have a day job”.

His words didn't sit well with Juliet Ibrahim who fired back saying:

“So you’re saying an actor should stop acting if that’s the only job an actor knows best???! What if u were asked to stop tailoring and find another day job how would you feel my brother? Acting is a full-time job that pays people’s bills all over the world. An actor shouldn’t have to find another job if the proper structures are in place in his country movie industry. Unfortunately, that’s not the case in Ghana. Hence your advise should be; actors please find other jobs to do while acting because producers don’t value the worth of actors in Ghana yet; so till then, actors should have other means and sources of income.”

“God help us all in this industry. But until a producer owes u money you well deserve; u won’t be here saying this at all. Till date, some Gh producers haven’t paid people’s balance or Full acting fee or crew members fees and it’s not a joking matter! Let’s stop mocking our own and get serious so that we the actors and industry can also be taken serious.”
