How I was not paid for role I played — Bisola Omobolanle

By Ayo Onikoyi

Fast-rising Nollywood actress Olaide Bisola Omobolanle, popularly known as Nicebody4real, has opened up on one of the most difficult experiences she has faced since joining the Nigerian movie industry, revealing that she once spent over a month on a film set without receiving any payment for her role.

The Ogun State-born actress, who officially began her acting career in June 2024, disclosed that she also had to bear the cost of her accommodation, feeding, transportation and wardrobe during the production.

Speaking about the experience, Omobolanle said she remained on location for more than a month under challenging conditions without any financial support from the production team.

“I stayed on location for over a month. My accommodation wasn’t paid for, there was no food allowance, no fuel support and I wasn’t even paid for the role I acted. I also had to buy extra clothes because I never imagined I would stay that long,” she said.
