Actress, Linda Osifo has said that people have the wrong perception about actresses in Nollywood.
Shedding light on why women succeed more than men in the movie industry, Osifo who was a guest on ‘Rubbin Minds’ said:“As a woman, I’ve more options to get jobs than a man, I can advertise hair, shoes, clothes…I don’t think a man can really do that because we have more women population than men,” she said.
“So a woman gets more jobs that would create more avenues to make money for her. For instance, I’m a brand ambassador for skincare brands and that’s an industry where most men are unable to conquer because who’ll be their customers?
“Therefore, women have more opportunities to make money, that’s the way I see it. Is that why women succeed more that men in Nollywood? I don’t know but that’s how I see it.”
“We have this mindset that most women cannot succeed. In my case, I rejoice for my family whenever I achieve something and notice negative comments on the social media,” she added.
“I got to know people feel that most women can’t do it themselves and that’s a problem because there are many women who can.”
