Nollywood actress, Faith Ononiwu has expressed her frustration with the arrogance and lack of humility of some Nollywood stars.
In a viral video, the movie star revealed that some popular actors are so picky about who they work with despite being paid for a job.
According to her, someone will ask the movie producer to dump an upcoming actor just because they believes such person is not in their class.
Faith Ononiwu reminded these Nollywood stars that they were once just like everyone else, and that they only have their success because of the opportunities they were given.
She called on them to stop being so picky about who they work with and use their grace to help others instead of just themselves.
