Renowned Nollywood actress, Ruth Eze, has expressed apprehension about the Asaba side of the Nollywood movie industry, describing it as dangerous and a place where individuals are cautious about their interactions.
During an interview with PUNCH, Ruth Eze highlighted the reluctance among actors in Asaba, particularly in Delta State, to share meals on set. She emphasized the prevailing fear, stating that even married actors receive food from various individuals.
Eze commented on the challenges of maintaining relationships within the industry, stating, “A lot of people don’t like to see others, especially in Nollywood in the eastern part of the country. We don’t like one another. I cannot expose my relationship or who I am in love with.”
She further explained the cautious atmosphere during productions, revealing that actors often opt to buy their own food to ensure their safety, given the perceived dangers associated with the Asaba side of Nollywood.
“There is no actor in Nollywood, especially in Asaba (Delta State), that one would buy food for on set and they would eat. Everybody is scared, because of how dangerous that side is. When one goes for any production, one is usually scared. So, in order to be careful, one has to buy one’s food.”
