July 13, (THEWILL) – Nollywood actress, Linda Osifo, has disclosed the reason why most women in the movie industry are more successful than their male colleagues.
Osifo disclosed this when she appeared on “Rubbing Minds,” a programme anchored by popular media personality, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.
The actress, responding to the question why women do better, have more cars than the men in the industry, stated that there are so many more avenues for women to make money than men.
According to her, actresses have ambassadorial deals from wig brands, skin care, clothing brands, which is the reason why many actresses have more money than men and are able to acquire houses.
Linda said: “As a woman compared to a man I have more options to get more jobs than a man.
“I can advertise hair, wigs, shoes and a wide range of clothes from brands which most men cannot. The ratio of men to women is 1:3 which makes the market wider for us.
“I’ve become a brand ambassador to skincare brands and that’s an industry that men don’t dominate and conquer so this is how women are more successful.
“Women have more opportunities to make money.”
The 29-year-old actress stated that the thinking that a woman can’t make it on her own is the reason for the rumours that most actresses have illicit affairs.
“I’ve come to understand that society has the mindset that most women can’t succeed on their own. It’s a big problem because there are many women who are doing so much for themselves,” she added.
