Toyin Abraham responds to Ruggedman's allegation that only Nollywood actresses are buying cars & houses while male actors are not

Nollywood Actress Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi has responded to Ruggedman's call out that only Nollywood actresses are the ones buying cars and houses while their male colleagues aren't.

Mrs Ajeyemi says this is far from the truth and that because the men have chosen to be quiet does not mean they don't have it.

She also says she knows some actresses who get paid in millions in this same Nollywood.

Mentioning Ruggedman's name in her response, Toyin wrote;

“I saw the social media post made by respected rapper, Ruggedman about women making more money and doing well better than men.

I read between the lines and saw what Ruggedman implied. It is a little bit sad that many people on social media leeched on it with many derogatory comments about women especially those of us in Nollywood.

It is important that I put this out there that many women make money and make good money legitimately. I know actresses who charge 2 million, 3 million and 5 million in this Nollywood. I get paid in millions of naira for gigs. As a a matter of fact, I just paid for a very good car worth millions of Naira and at the same time I know a lot of men in Nollywood who are doing extra ordinarily well and paid in millions.

The fact that most of these men choose not to make noise on social media do not in any way mean that they are second class citizens in this industry.

We need to stop attributing every woman’s success to her s3xual prowess with men, women deserve the success they have as much as men without attributing it to their sexuality.

Nollywood women like Bimbo Ademoye, Nancy Isime, Kehinde Bankole, Inidima Okojie , Sharon Ooja, Bisola Aiyeola, are getting paid in millions.

Even script writers that are not in the limelight are getting paid in millions. It is disparaging to put the successes of these women within the box of their sexuality.

A lot of women are doing great things legitimately. I am one of them and so also are many other women in other industries not just the entertainment industry. A woman is more than the sum total of her s3xuality.”
