Many people on social media, especially Facebook and Instagram, have been speculating about some of the statements made by one of the Kannywood actresses that she is paid N2,000 to N5,000 every time she does it (movie). In an interview with the BBC's Daga bakin mai ita (from the mouth of owner), Ladin Cima Haruna, better known as Tambaya, explains that one of the reasons she has not been able to own an environment is since she started acting, during the reign of Jacob Gowon, she never made twenty or thirty or fifty thousand rupees if she made a film.
The issue has raised eyebrows on social media, with directors accusing other directors and other stakeholders of not doing enough for artists.
What Do People Say About Claiming Lime?
According to Shehu Umar, the authorities and the film industry should support the likes of Ladin Cima to see their contribution.Nasiru Tukur said he was unhappy with Ladin Cima's statement, which echoed Shehu Umar's call for the authorities to intervene, and called on the union to take action.Aisha Rabiu also blamed the government, saying that it was not until the likes of Ladin Cima started harassing the government that they started harassing Kannywood.What are the directors and producers of Kannywood saying
In this regard, the BBC has contacted some of the directors and producers of Kannywood on Ladin Cima's claims and they have provided us with more information.
Falalu Ɗorayi
Falalu Ɗorayi is one of the leading directors in Kannywood and one of the directors of Ladin Cima in the film. According to him, he was surprised by Ladin Cima's statement where he said that since he put her in movies, he has never paid her less than twenty thousand where he says he pays her thirty to forty. "I haven't worked with her in ten days and what I lost was thirty thousand naira," he said.
He explained that growing up like Ladin Cima and being viewed as an autumn in Kannywood no one would pay for it except the young children who are growing up.
Falalu Ɗorayi explained that he had never had a problem with her "She just called me and said who gave me the money thanked me and said I called him and thanked him", he said.
He said it was only when someone was kind to her that she called him and told him where and when he said that when she had an environmental problem she got more than a million dollars from the Kannywood people.
He revealed that even in the movie Gidan Badamasi she gave him five cents where he paid her forty thousand.
Ali Nuhu
Ali Nuhu was also contacted by the BBC, who said that not all of them had come together and that her last performance in the film Alaqa had been watched by 40 people.
He made it clear that she should not pay them a nut even though according to him there are 5,000 paying for the heroes.
"You know some people do things to people as they please, some do good to you and some do not do good to you.
"When one is explaining, one should be discriminating and say that some do good to us and some say that they do not," said Ali Nuhu.
Ali Nuhu said Ladin Cima's remarks had caused him a lot of public outrage over her recent film with him.
Ali Nuhu said he did not blame the spectator for insulting him because he probably did not know how it was.
The BBC has contacted Ladin Cima again
As a result of the controversy, the BBC contacted Ladin Cima again.
She said people did not understand her words even though there were 2,000 to 5,000 films paid for her but there were producers who looked at her worth and did her best in the film.
According to her, she never looked at the producer and told him what to pay her.
She said there are Kannywood actors who always treat women like Ali Nuhu, Falalu Dorayi, Hadiza Gabon and many more.
She said: "Ali Nuhu used to go to my house and do me a favor and he did nothing wrong to me." She also said that Hadiza Gabon had recently given her a gift of 300,000.
According to her, the house she is currently living in was bought for her by the filmmakers after her recent ordeal.
