Stella Damasus says a percentage of proceeds from Nollywood movies should be paid to actors as royalties.

Stella Damasus has suggested that a percentage of proceeds from Nollywood movies should be paid to actors as royalties.Damasus argued that actors are usually paid meager money for their movie roles.

She said this would curb cases of Nollywood veterans pleading for financial assistance from the public in the twilight years of their careers.“But they take the film to show in different places, sell it to different people who will dub it to different languages, sell it to different platforms, and then they keep the money.

“You shoot back to back because you are paid stipends, and you don’t have royalties. So you depend on what you are paid on set.
