Bimbo Manuel says no Nigerian actor can afford a Range Rover from acting alone
Nollywood veteran Bimbo Manuel has made a bold statement, claiming that no actor in Nigeria can buy a Range Rover just from acting fees alone. Speaking during a recent appearance on the TVC programme, Your View, the 66-year-old actor expressed his concern over what he described as the “fake” lives many of his colleagues are portraying online.
Manuel explained, “The actors you see flaunting Range Rovers and mansions in places like Ikoyi are living fake lives. No actor in Nigeria would say he or she can buy a Range Rover from acting fees alone.”
The actor, who is known for his down-to-earth personality, added that he personally doesn’t feel the need to live a flashy lifestyle. “I prefer a humble and realistic life,” he said, making it clear that he doesn’t care about showing off wealth.
His comments serve as a reminder of the pressures faced by many in the entertainment industry to maintain an image of success, even if it’s not entirely grounded in reality.
