Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has publicly expressed her heartbreak and anger after accusing a movie editor of sabotaging her independently funded film project.
In an emotional post on her Instagram page, the actress revealed that she spent months producing a movie worth millions of naira without financial support from anyone, only for the editor to allegedly deliver a subpar final product after six weeks of delay.
Martins said she endured sleepless nights and personal sacrifices to complete the film, which included spending nearly seven months trying to secure a particular cast member. Despite their agreement for a two-week turnaround, she claimed the editor took six weeks and delivered what she described as “a bunch of crabs.”
“This is my hard-earned money, my sleepless nights. No assistance from any man or woman, just my money… and this is all I get?” she lamented. “I know I’m a strong girl, but this pain is piercing my heart.”
The actress didn’t hold back, laying curses on the editor for what she sees as deliberate sabotage. “Except there’s no God. But as long as there’s God, you will labour in vain!” she declared.
