Bob-Manuel Udokwu insists life is way easier for women

Nollywood veteran, Bob-Manuel Udokwu has stirred controversy by insisting that life is usually easier for women than it is for men.

While speaking during an interview with Udala, the actor explained that actors struggle more financially than actresses because they have more responsibilities than their female counterparts.

He reacted to the comments surrounding Mr Ibus’ family’s cry for financial assistance, stating that actors’ earnings from movies can’t give them financial freedom because of daunting responsibilities.

“Life is generally easier for women than it is for men. It’s not that Nollywood doesn’t pay, but actors have a lot of bills to settle. It pained me when John Okafor fell ill before he eventually passed away. While we were trying to raise funds for his treatment, some people on social media kept asking, ‘Where is all the money he made from acting?’. They didn’t understand the realities of the profession. I didn’t even know he had married more than one wife then,” Udokwu  stated.
