In a recent development, popular Yoruba actress Jaiye Kuti has expressed her disappointment with veteran actors who have resorted to seeking financial assistance through social media platforms. This trend has caught the attention of many, including the likes of Iya Gbonkan, Alapini Osha, Lalude, and Pariolodo, who have openly appealed for help to improve their living conditions.

Jaiye Kuti, known for her remarkable performances in the Yoruba movie industry, took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the matter. In a video, she criticized her older colleagues, stating that their current predicament is a result of their failure to plan for the future.

The actress went on to describe their actions as an embarrassment to the Yoruba movie industry. She emphasized that these veteran actors only have themselves to blame for their present condition, as they may have made careless financial decisions when they were younger.

While acknowledging that the English sector of Nollywood also faces challenges, Jaiye Kuti highlighted the stark contrast in how they handle such situations. She pointed out that actors in the English sector seek help within their community, rather than resorting to public pleas for assistance.

“Our members, on the other hand, have ridiculed us with their need to publicly beg for help, to the point that many now see Yoruba actors as wretched, all because some people did not prepare for their future,” Kuti expressed.

The actress stressed the importance of financial planning and urged her fellow actors to take responsibility for their own well-being. According to her, the lack of a pension scheme in the industry makes it crucial for individuals to prepare for their future while they are still active and earning.

Drawing from her own success, Jaiye Kuti emphasized that she has been able to secure a stable financial future by making wise financial decisions. She encouraged her colleagues to follow suit and avoid making it compulsory for others to support them financially during times of illness or hardship.

As this news spreads, it is important to note that Jaiye Kuti’s comments have sparked a debate within the Yoruba movie industry. While some agree with her sentiments, others argue that the lack of support systems and financial stability within the industry contribute to the predicament faced by veteran actors.

In light of this discussion, it is crucial for the Yoruba movie industry to address these issues and find sustainable solutions. This could involve establishing support networks, creating financial literacy programs, or even advocating for the implementation of a pension scheme specifically tailored to the needs of actors.

Furthermore, it is essential for actors, both young and old, to prioritize their financial well-being and plan for the future. By taking proactive steps to secure their financial stability, they can avoid finding themselves in dire circumstances later in life.
