Not One Actor Stood By Me – Jaiye Kuti Laments Lack Of Support In Nollywood

Nollywood actress, Jaiye Kuti, has spoken about what she described as a growing lack of support among members of the Nigerian film industry, saying many actors and filmmakers are unwilling to stand by one another during difficult times.

During an appearance on the Oyinmomo podcast, Kuti said that many people in Nollywood face the same problems but choose to act as though everything is fine rather than speak up.

It was reports that the thespian said this attitude is affecting relationships within the industry and making it harder for practitioners to work together.

The actress said film production requires a huge financial investment, yet many people do not understand the pressure producers face to recoup the money spent on making and distributing movies in cinemas.

She also said the public often admires celebrities without knowing the realities behind their lives.

According to her, many of the images people see on social media do not reflect the struggles those entertainers deal with behind the scenes.

Kuti recalled her own experience after some cinemas removed her movie from their schedules.

She said she publicly complained about the development but did not receive support from fellow actors, even though many of them had faced similar situations in the past.

She said: “Our relationship is gradually breaking down… Everybody is just acting like it’s okay. How is it okay? The people you’re emulating and looking at as an example, do you really want to know them? The people you call celebrities and follow on social media.

“Not one actor stood by me or went those cinemas or even supported me, despite the fact that we’re all going through the same thing.

“But If I celebrate my birthday, the next day they’d wish me a happy birthday. So I stopped wishing people a happy birthday because I don’t want anyone to wish me on my birthday. Please don’t.”

ARE SOME PARENTS CHOOSING MONEY OVER THEIR OWN CHILDREN?

Some parents spend years chasing money, building businesses and accumulating wealth—all in the name of “giving their children a better life.”

But here is the uncomfortable question:

What if your child has everything money can buy, but doesn’t have YOU?

A child needs more than school fees, expensive clothes, gadgets and a comfortable home.

They need your time.
They need your attention.
They need your affection.
They need to know that they are loved, heard and valued.

💰 Money can be earned again.

❤️ But once a child’s trust is broken, rebuilding it may not be easy.

🕰️ And once childhood is gone, you can never buy it back.

Don’t become so busy providing for your children that you forget to actually be present in their lives.

Because one day, your child may remember the money you provided—but they may remember even more clearly the moments you were never there.

🔥 QUESTION:

Do you believe some parents are sacrificing too much family time in the pursuit of money?

A WORD OF WARNING: NEVER LET YOUR SUCCESS MAKE YOU LOOK DOWN ON PEOPLE.

Since you are not feeding anyone, you should never see anyone as being beneath you.

Having money does not make you more human.
Having a degree does not make you more valuable.
Having a big position does not give you the right to disrespect people.

Today, you may be comfortable while someone else is struggling. But life can change unexpectedly. Never use your current advantage to humiliate someone who has less than you.

True greatness is not measured by what you have in your bank account, the car you drive, or the position you occupy.

Your real character is revealed by how you treat people who cannot give you anything in return.

Be humble. Be respectful. Treat people with dignity.

You are not better than anyone simply because you have more than they do.

💬 Do you agree? What do you think makes a person truly great?

BEING EDUCATED SHOULD NEVER MAKE YOU LOOK DOWN ON AN UNEDUCATED PERSON.

Education should give you knowledge, but character determines how you use that knowledge.

Not everyone had the opportunity to attend school or earn academic qualifications. Some people learned through life, work, family, hardship and experience.

Having a degree does not make someone more valuable than the person without one.

Your education should make you more humble, not more arrogant.

Respect the cleaner.
Respect the farmer.
Respect the mechanic.
Respect the trader.
Respect the labourer.
Respect everyone.

Because the person you look down on today may have life lessons you will never learn in a classroom.

Education is powerful—but humility is priceless.

💬 Do you agree? Can someone be highly educated but still lack wisdom?
