Actor Sunday Afolabi Speaks on Driving a Minibus and His Financial Struggles

Actor Sunday Afolabi Speaks on Driving a Minibus and His Financial Struggles — 1 of 2
1 / 2

Nollywood actor Sunday Afolabi says relocating to Badagry disrupted his acting and photography work, leaving him struggling to provide for his family. He said he sold his Nissan Quest after he could not afford repairs and later bought a fairly used motorcycle, which he repeatedly fell from while learning to ride. Afolabi addressed a viral video showing him working on a minibus. He said he is willing to do any legitimate job rather than beg for food, but the vehicle's engine is now worn out. He recalled being insulted by someone who recognised him as an actor. The actor appealed for support with a reliable car, which he hopes to use for ride-hailing work, and better accommodation. His story has renewed discussion about the financial difficulties faced by many veteran Yoruba movie actors.

Relocating may have hurt his opportunities, but the story also shows that unstable creative work needs more than location to stay sustainable.

Keeping photography active through local clients while using affordable transport could help rebuild income gradually, especially after selling the car.
