In a candid interview, renowned Nollywood actress Ngozi Nwosu has voiced her strong stance against offering free services to her home state of Abia, citing a lack of support and infrastructure as key reasons for her decision. The actress, known for her powerful performances in films and television, expressed her frustrations with the challenges faced by creatives in the region.
Nwosu emphasized that while she is passionate about giving back to her community, the absence of proper systems to support artists and local initiatives makes it difficult for her to do so without compensation. “As much as I want to help, I can’t continue to offer my services for free when there’s no structure in place to support the arts in Abia,” she said.
The actress also highlighted the importance of valuing creative work, urging both the government and individuals to recognize the contributions of artists. “It’s time we start treating the creative industry with the respect it deserves. Art has the power to transform lives, but we need to be adequately supported,” she added.
Nwosu’s remarks have resonated with many in the entertainment industry, sparking conversations about the need for greater investment in the arts, particularly in regions outside major urban centers. As discussions continue, her bold stance may encourage other artists to advocate for better conditions and recognition within their communities.
