Talented Ghanaian actress Martha Ankomah has revealed that local film producers in her country are stingy despite making profit from movies while their Nigerian counterparts pay better.
The actress made the revelation during an interview with Okay FM in Ghana while discussing the absence of Nigerian film producers from the Ghana film industry and its impact on the industry.
The former Next Movie Star reality TV show housemate said that Ghanaian movie producers don’t treat actors well.

“At some point, Nigerians were in love with Ghanaian movies. That is why they collaborated with us often,” Martha Ankomah told Abeiku Santana on Okay FM. “But Ghanaian film producers are stingy. They make a lot of profit and refuse to treat actors well.”
Matha elaborated that the treatment Ghanaian actors receive from Nigerian producers can’t be compared to Ghanaian producers because Nigerians understand the business and are not stingy.
“However, Nigerian film producers pay well because they believe they will make a profit from the movie. When they offered us roles, they paid us better, and it wasn’t bad. People work because of profit, and when there’s profit, it motivates you to work well,” she said.
