Chinedu revealed that his first payday as an actor was 500 Naira for a minor role he played in the movie “Evil Men” in 1998.

Actor Chinedu should be an inspiration to anybody with high goals, not a joke.
Never dismiss what you’re doing now, even if the money is low because it could lead to greatness one day. If the Nollywood actor had given up on his career because of the first money he received, he might not be where he is now, but his capacity to not give up helped him get to where he is now.
