Bakare, like her coworkers, is focused on her side hustle, claiming that acting alone isn’t enough to pay the rent.
“Acting alone wasn’t paying my bills,” the Nollywood damsel and mother of one stated. As you can see, everyone of my coworkers are involved in one or more businesses. I needed to broaden my horizons.
I felt compelled to attempt something fresh. Because I have a lot of duties, something that would provide me with money would be ideal. My son has completed high school and is now enrolled in university. As a result, acting on my own wasn’t paying the bills any longer.”
She also noted that as one grows older, a lot of things change.
You know as you grow older, as you grow in every aspect, a lot of things will change. Your taste, even the way you spend. So acting alone wasn’t paying the bills anymore so I to diversity, do other businesses. I tried a lot of things. I had to learn how to make wigs and all that. God has been faithful”.
