Popular Yoruba actor Moshood Mayegun has opened up about some of the toughest challenges he has faced in the film industry, including the financial setback that nearly made him quit.
In an interview shared on Oyinmomo TV’s official YouTube channel, he revealed that he once lost a significant amount of money while producing a quality movie. The experience was so disheartening that he seriously considered walking away from filmmaking altogether.
In his statement, he said, “It is not all the movies that I have produced that I have made a profit from, but I’m always determined not to lose money when I make my own movies.
When I produced one of my movies, the movie was so good to the extent that people called me from abroad, and they sent me money. I wanted to stop film making when I lost the 2 million naira I used to produce a good movie.”
