Kanayo O. Kanayo Tells Ghanaian Actors to Negotiate Their Own Fees

Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has addressed a dispute over acting fees while in Ghana with fellow Nigerian actors, including Patience Ozokwo. He said some Ghanaian actors had insisted on being paid the same amount as Nigerian actors brought in for a production. Kanayo argued that actors should negotiate their rates independently rather than compare their fees with those of other performers. The veteran actor said experience and status influence pay in the film industry, adding that there is “hierarchy even in heaven.” His comments have sparked debate about pay, recognition and competition between Nigerian and Ghanaian actors.
