Nollywood actor Gideon Okeke, says he is done and tired and wants to quit acting as he revealed on his instagram page recently.
'I dey get emotional breakdown. I wan leave acting, ' na so im lament. E say im don dey dey frustrated wit di profession even though im 'love am so much.'
Okeke  took to social media page to speak out against the ill-treatment meted out to actors in the Nigerian movie industry.
Okeke said the role actors play in the society is comparable to that of essential workers like doctors and nurses.
'I've really begun to feel frustrated in this CRAFT that I love so much. Remember that during the times of COVID lockdown, ONLY folks working in 'essential services' were allowed to come out. Doctors, Nurses, Farmers etc etc.
'Let me remind you that while you were holed-up in your home for upwards of 4 months, watching Television, The ACTOR participated actively, in keeping your sanity in check. That's An Essential Service if you ask Me.
'But for All that the ACTOR does (for society) all that accrues to him at the end of the day, is the upfront payment which he accepted. Which most of the time, comes at a Piecemeal drop, covering for a duration of A Lifetime….For Life!'
