An Actor Jide Awobona has advised the youths of the country to shun gambling and all forms of fraudulent activities.
in an interview Sunday Scoop, instead, he asked them to learn trades. He said: “My advice to young people is that regardless of what is happening in society today, in terms of unemployment, they can still do great things with their lives.
“There are so many things they can do to make money without gambling or engaging in cybercrime. They can learn any trade. They don’t have to be employed; they can actually create businesses and employ people.’
The actor also said that he could make a comfortable living from acting alone. He said: “The actors work very hard. I had just finished shooting a movie, after 24 days (on set), and they paid me well. Celebrities should be expected to live a life of luxury because it’s showbiz.
“Although there are some entertainers who are not as big as they make out on social media, there is money in entertainment. One only needs time to do it. You can’t be an entertainer doing the right things and not smile to the bank.’
Awobona also stated that he would not support any politician in the 2023 general elections. However, he advised people in public positions to contribute their share for the betterment of the country.
