“Think Twice Before Joining Nollywood, They’ll Mess With Your Mental Health” – Yetunde Bakare

Nollywood actress, Yetunde Bakare has opened up about the struggles she is facing in the Nigerian movie industry.

In a post shared on her Instagram story, the actress said she has been keeping a low profile lately because people tend to form their opinions of others, especially celebrities, primarily based on their social media presence.

Yetunde advised upcoming actors to think about their mental health before deciding to join the movie industry because people would judge them without making any effort to understand them.

“I’ve been on my own lately because I’ve realized that a lot of people judge you based on social media and not your personality…like they’re not even ready to know who you are before judging you also my kind of profession Makes it more easier to doubt how disciplined you are. It is unfair but it’s all good.

“Just think twice before joining Nollywood…if your skin no thick skin no put body because they’ll mess with your mental health!” she said.
