“No Nigerian can afford a Range Rover solely from acting,” says actor Bimbo Manuel.

Veteran actor Bimbo Manuel has claimed that no Nigerian can afford a Range Rover vehicle solely through acting fees.

He said this during a recent appearance on TVC’s Your View. Manuel asserted that many of his colleagues who showcase luxurious mansions and cars online are living “fake” lives.

He emphasised that these lavish displays are often unsustainable through acting income alone. “The actors you see flaunting Range Rovers and mansions in Ikoyi are living fake lives.

No actor in Nigeria would say he or she can buy a Range Rover from acting fees alone,” he said. According to him, he prioritises humility and realism, eschewing the pressure to maintain a flamboyant lifestyle.
