The well-known actress from Nigeria, Shan George, has talked about how expressing the truth hurt her and cost her an investment opportunity.
She clarified that ten years ago, after making a film, she met and invited one of the wealthiest individuals in Nigeria.
The actress-producer wrote: “Many years ago, as a struggling movie producer, I met one of Nigeria’s richest men by accident, I went to invite a father to my movie premier and he was there, so I also extended an invitation to him.
“In d few minutes we met, he asked how much I spent producing d movie, and I told him 6million naira ( this was over 10yrs ago, 6m was still big money) and asked if he can invest in our next movie, he just smiled and waved me off.
“After a few times I tried to reach out to him for d investment in our next movie, he was unreachable, so I movd on.
“Recently I read where same man said that he doesn’t take any little person serious when it comes to business. So I now understand why he waved me off then, cos I was a struggling producer.
“This is how d truth keeps setting us back everytime, shey I for lie then ni? but I sure won’t join d lying gang, neither will I fake it to make it. Oga sir, I now make movies wit 100M dollars o, just one Bitcoin, will u now invest? Or we still too small? Ndi uwa.”
