I rejected N10m for movie role – Veteran Actor Chinwetalu Agu
Veteran Nollywood actor, Chinwetalu Agu has recounted how he turned down a N10 million offer from billionaire business mogul, Mike Adenuga, to play a role in a movie.
He said at the time the billionaire businessman made the offer, he had not made N1 million before but he insisted on getting N20 million.
The legendary thespian said Adenuga later compromised and gave him the N20 million after he threatened to walk away.
Agu disclosed this in a chat with popular media personality, Chude Jideonwo.
He said, “Chief Mike Adenuga said, ‘what I have for you in this contract is N10 million.’ I have not seen N1 million before when he was pricing me N10 million but I refused. I said, ‘if it’s not N20 million, forget it.’
“He insisted, I insisted. So, I pretend to rise up and said, ‘give me money to go back to Enugu. If there’s any available flight, book it for me let me just quietly go back.’
“They regarded me to now being serious when I rose up. Chief Mike Adenuga said ‘sit down.’ He ordered them to bring documents for signing. They brought and I signed.
“From that moment uhuru dance started. I did it diplomatically in the office. I didn’t want them to know that N20m was a big deal [to me]. But it was the most wonderful thing [to me] at the moment.”
Mark Angel, a Nigerian comedian, has responded to speculations that he is no longer managing teen comedians Emmanuella and Aunty Success.
During a TikTok live session, the comedian revealed that he has stepped down from managing the young stars and that their careers are now managed by a professional agency.
“There was a time when I managed Emmanuella and Success when they were kids, but I no longer manage them.
“I am too busy to manage them. So, they have an agency that manages them, but I still work with them,” he said.
The comedian went on to say that even if he no longer manages the teenagers, his connection with the girls would not go down and that it is still solid.
He insisted that he would continue to work with them with the same passion that had garnered them recognition.
