Actors’ welfare should be improved — Monica Friday
Actress and content creator, Monica Friday, has enjoined stakeholders in the movie industry to improve the welfare of actors.
Speaking on the challenges she will like to see in the industry, she told Saturday Beats, “I will like to see more of life transforming stories. I will also love to see an improvement when it comes to the welfare of actors, ranging from the fees of artists to crew member. I look forward to collaborations with other industries as well. As a producer, it could be difficult having access to some places.”
The actress also urged fellow entertainers to always embrace genuine repentance. She said, “Regarding the losses (deaths) this year in Nollywood, the only advice I can give practitioners is that they should embrace genuine repentance, and serve God in spirit and in truth. People die every day, even outside the industry. But, life after death matters. Having eternity in view should be a priority.”
Friday, who often prays in Pidgin English on social media, insisted that she had no regrets projecting her spiritual side. She said, “I have no regrets at all. My Instagram channel is dedicated solely to praying for entertainers.
“Projecting my spiritual side on social media has brought lots of people to God, with mind-boggling testimonies. Meanwhile, that has not stopped ‘the right jobs’ from coming. At the moment, I have a lot coming. God promised me that if I project him openly, he will make me fulfilled.”
