Linda Osifo gives reasons why it seems like Women are more successful in Nollywood.
In a recent discussion with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Rubbin’ Minds, Osifo discussed ambassadorial arrangements and the opportunity that women have to represent a wider range of businesses than men.
“As a woman compared to a man I have more options to get more jobs than a man. I can advertise hair, wigs, shoes and a wide range of clothes from brands which most men cannot. The ratio of men to women is 1:3 which makes the market wider for us,” Osifo said.
“I’ve become a brand ambassador to skincare brands and that’s an industry that men don’t dominate and conquer so this is how women are more successful. Women have more opportunities to make money.”
Osifo’s argument comes amid conversations that actresses turn to disreputable means to afford their flamboyant lifestyle as working in the industry is not as lucrative.
