Veteran Nollywood actor, Yemi Ayebo, professionally known as Yemi my Lover, has callede out for help to get back on his feet.

DAILY POST reports that the Yoruba actor is known for his popular 1993 movie, ‘Yemi My Lover’.

Speaking in his latest interview with Mr LilGaga on YouTube, Yemi my Lover who explained that he’s still struggling despite the film’s success, accused movie marketers of “waging war” against him.

While noting that he no longer gets jobs in the industry over lack of connections, he begged his colleagues to help him get back on his feet.

“I wrote and produced the movie in 1993. The movie cut across Nigeria, especially in the Yoruba-speaking part of the country. But I didn’t make money from it because 90% of the money was gotten by piracy.

“I didn’t make profit from the film because there was no social media, so I don’t have opportunity to promote it widely. As a result of this, the movie was pirated, and the marketers waged war against me for handling the marketing myself. It was distributed illegally, and people made profit from it.

“That marked the beginning of my problems. I’m broke right now. The industry is about connections, I need more connections to get back on my feet”.
