Nigerian actor Abayomi Alvin expands activities through social media

Nigerian actor Abayomi Alvin says acting income is not always enough to fulfil all his ambitions. He explains that social media have given him greater creative control and made it easier to develop businesses in real estate and other sectors, according to an interview with Sunday Scoop.

Nigerian actor Abayomi Alvin believes that income from acting is not always enough to finance all his professional and personal ambitions. He explained that he initially depended on opportunities offered by others before seeking to create his own through social media, according to an interview with Sunday Scoop reported by Punch.

Abayomi Alvin compared the situation of actors in Nigeria with Hollywood, where an actor can more easily make a living solely from the profession. He says he has diversified his activities so as no longer to depend solely on fees paid in the audiovisual sector.
