Actor Yul Edochie has urged colleagues to always deliver excellence regardless of pay. In an Instagram post, he said even if an actor accepts ₦10k for a role, they must give a $100m performance.
He warned that giving a “₦10k performance” leads to failure, stressing that true greatness in acting comes from giving one’s best, even when working for free.
“As an actor,
If you accept a 10k fee for a movie role, you must give a 100 million dollar performance.
Don’t give 10k performance because you were paid 10k.
That’s your road to failure.
Even if you accept to do the job for free,
You must give a 100-million-dollar performance.
That’s what the acting profession demands.
That’s your road to greatness”.
In other news…… The Edo State Police Command has urged Nigerians to adopt modest lifestyles and avoid flaunting wealth as part of measures to stay safe amid rising concerns about insecurity.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Joel Yamu, gave the advice while addressing journalists in Benin City. He stressed that maintaining a low profile can go a long way in reducing vulnerability to criminal attacks.
According to Yamu, many cases of robbery, kidnapping, and targeted attacks often stem from criminals profiling individuals who openly display affluence. He warned that flashy lifestyles, particularly on social media, expose people to unnecessary risks.
“Keep a low profile. Avoid flashy lifestyles or flaunting wealth. Criminals are always watching, and the moment you make yourself an easy target, they begin to trail you,” he cautioned.
The police spokesperson also urged citizens to be conscious of their movements, avoid late-night outings when possible, and quickly report suspicious activity to security agencies.
He further assured the public that the Edo State Police Command remains committed to safeguarding lives and property, noting that community cooperation is key to winning the fight against crime.
Yamu concluded by appealing to residents to prioritize personal security and remember that prevention is better than cure.
