Bigvai Jokotoye, an actor, was on his way to becoming a household name in the film business when he abruptly left the nation. He stated why he moved at that particular time. “I relocated to start a family and move on with my life,” he explained. However, I’m still doing everything I can to stay in the industry as much as possible. Mr Roland is a film I recently made, and I’m currently working on more projects that will be shot soon. I’ve also appeared in a few Hollywood and Nollywood films.”
“For some, I don’t think it’s required because talent speaks for them,” Jokotoye said of the assumption that one needs a godfather to succeed in Nollywood. “For others, I think it’s necessary because godfathers speak for them.” Marketers are godfathers to some people, particularly women, whereas males rarely have godfathers.”

The actor also stated that it would be difficult to make a living in Nigeria only through acting. “I don’t believe one can make a living as an actress in Nigeria since investors aren’t willing to put money into the industry, which is why producers pay performers so little.” Because we still produce bad films, it’s difficult to witness an actor who is paid up to a million naira for a movie. Our marketing system is ineffective, and individuals are hesitant to invest. As a result, I believe it’s difficult to make a living without the help of other enterprises, endorsements, or financial support from fans,” he stated.
