Nigerian actress and movie producer Ruth Kadiri has advised her colleagues in the film industry to resist pressure from producers who demand unrealistic expectations.
In a post shared on her Instagram page recently ,she criticized producers who judge success by one million views within a day, stating that such demands are a sign of failure on the producer’s part.
The celebrated Nollywood actress clarified that one million YouTube views are not a definitive benchmark for success, urging her colleagues to maintain their confidence and not let producers’ unrealistic standards diminish their joy or self-worth.
“Dear Nollywood actors!!! Take the pressure off your shoulder!! Any producer who requires one million views from you in one day has failed! A good production requires more than your face!
“One million views is not a standard of success or failure. So much y’all don’t know about YouTube. Don’t let their ignorance rob you of your joy!
“The ones who never invest in anyone are the ones with the most nonsense to say about others!”, she wrote.
