Norbert Young, a well-known figure in Nollywood, has revealed the reasons why female actresses in the movie industry receive higher pay than their male counterparts.
In a recent interview, the 63-year-old actor discussed the gender wage gap and how Nollywood has changed over time.

He explained that women often have more negotiating power, leading to better compensation.
Young believes that women’s exceptional talent and generally positive reception contribute to their ability to command higher salaries compared to men in the industry.
He said;
“People love women and what they do because women attract more money. And that doesn’t make them wayward. Women are more gifted than men.”
“Although every actor has their bargaining power and maybe the women are bargaining better.”
“But I don’t go asking how much you are paid, and you don’t come asking about my pay. Better is relative, I think it all depends on priorities, and what is better for you might not be better for me.”
