Nollywood veteran Bimbo Manuel has stirred conversation with his claim that no Nigerian actor can afford a Range Rover purely from their acting income. Speaking on the TVC program Your View, Manuel suggested that some of his colleagues who display luxury homes and cars on social media are maintaining a “fake” lifestyle.
“The actors you see flaunting Range Rovers and mansions in Ikoyi are living fake lives,” he stated. “No actor in Nigeria would say he or she can buy a Range Rover from acting fees alone.” Manuel’s remarks highlight a common debate in the Nigerian entertainment industry about wealth, image, and the financial realities behind fame.
