Dear fellow actors and celebrities alike, Take it easy now…?? How can you allegedly say you sign a 200 million Naira, or even 100 million Naira contract with a company that does not even make up to 30 million Naira per annum as PROFIT after TAX in Naija?? Let us fear God oh… Even the so called BIG brands like #GLO, #MTN etc that we know make BILLIONS per annum, hardly sign celebrities with such big amount.? Honestly, when they tell you they just signed a multi million Naira contract, my people many a times, the figures are inflated.? There is nothing someone will not hear in Nigeria, wait, are these hype also for publicity or what biko??
