Nigerian actress, Anita Joseph has provided an answer to the question asked by popular Nollywood actor, Kunle Remi.
The male thespian on Tuesday, had wondered why some of his female colleagues are succeeding more than their male counterparts, despite working in the same industry.
Remi popped up the question during a recent edition of Nedu’s podcast ‘Honest Bunch’ podcast, where he disclosed that some of these female colleagues drive expensive cars to movie locations and act like they don’t need the money.

He went on to claim that he is aware of how much some movie projects cost and how much these actresses are paid for the movies, wondering how they manage their luxurious lifestyles.
He said, “How come the girls seem to be doing better than the men? That is a very valid question. I get to set, I probably drive my normal moderate car then you see your co-actress pull up. Not just pull up o, pull up.
“You start looking at it like, I’m a leader right? I probably know the budget for the whole film we are doing. I know how much I was paid; I have an idea of how much you were paid. I’m sweating here and you pull up in a nice car.
“Some people, have it by mouth, we don’t know exactly what the conversation is. Now, the next person coming after you; what are they expecting to get when they get to where you are?
“They expect, this girl is driving this kind of car, which means the industry is booming. They come into this thing, give their all, give their best and they are not seeing what you are saying they are doing”
Responding to his puzzle, his female colleague Anita Joseph, argued that the reason some of her female colleagues could live above their means is because they date sugar daddies.
She wrote, “Because most of the females have ndi Nna ochie, (Sugar Daddy). Shallom in the highest biko.”
