Veteran Nollywood actress, Hilda Dokubo, has reacted to the $100,000 ransom for the kidnapped veteran Nigerian actors, Cynthia Okereke and Clemson Cornel aka Agbogidi, who were reportedly kidnapped after not showing up from a movie location at Ozalla Town, Enugu state.

According to Dokubo in a post via her official Instagram page on Saturday, some actors in the industry have painted the wrong picture of show business as a high-paying job when it isn’t.

The actress lamented that the kidnappers have misjudged the financial status of the actors they kidnapped as they think that how it is in the movies is how it is in real life.
She said, “Nollywood is about moving from one level of begging for alms to save an ill or dying colleague to now facing the worse of fears over two of their colleagues facing God knows what in the hands of kidnappers!

“Where will we turn if not the public using our social media platforms? Well…Finally, the kidnappers have made their demands. They want money! 100k us dollars! From where?

“Unfortunately, they misjudged the financial status of the actors they kidnapped! And think that as it is in the movies that is how it is in real life. What a life!

“Where will we get one hundred thousand US dollars from? God save all of us from this pain and give us your grace for this period. I know some actors paint the wrong picture on social media all the time but it is only in line with the “Show” part of SHOWbiz. Hopefully, you’ll understand what I mean.
“I am pained because I know these two personally, have worked with them and I know the truth of how it is with them. Just been asking myself one question all day, How much does an average actor make in Nigeria?
