ACTOR AREMU AFOLAYAN TALKS ABOUT HIS PASSION FOR OLDER WOMEN

Aremu Afolayan is no more a new actor when you talk about movie industry in Nigeria; his name always strikes a familiar cord in the minds of movie buffs in the country because of his acting prowess.

In a recent interview, he talks about his passion for older ladies.

I need to correct the impression that I date older women.I don’t date older women.I date normal babes but the person might be 10 years older than me.To me there is no big deal in dating someone older than me.

I see no reason people consider it as big issue.For now I am not in any relationship but for anything I achieve,people think I got them from the women I am dating.I am a man,I work hard and face life challenges as they come.

Gigolos don’t go broke because they live off women they date.Most times I’m broke.A gigolo would not do any other thing for a living.If I am a gigolo,I will not be seeking financial support for my movie.People don’t understand the difference between a gigolo and a young man dating someone older than him.

I need to also make it clear that I don’t date married women.I deal with single ladies.I don’t go near married women.

Asked,when are you planning to get married;he said I was considering getting married before but now I have dropped the idea.No doubt marriage is good but I have found out that staying married is not an easy task.It is complicated and hell.I only concern myself with dreams of making money

CELEBRITY QUOTE: ACTOR AREMU AFOLAYAN-A MUST READ

My problem with Nigerians is that they condemn us for begging for funds like what happened on facebook. They said we called America based ladies or girls in the UK soliciting for funds.The reason is that we are not adequately compensated for our hard work.We find it difficult to feed with the little we get. That is how poor we are.

They condemned me for being the expensive type but why won’t I say the truth. Why would I pretend to be what I am not? I give respect to everybody but what respect do you deserve when you have the fund to assist but deliberately refuse to assist.

They have turned us to beggars and yes I admit that Nigerian actor are beggars. I will stand by it that we are beggars.We don’t have a means of living than movies.

And when it doesn’t fetch us what we desire some people among us start pretending by buying big cars but it’s an illusion. The government and private sector should get involved urgently. The first time I travelled to Dubai was the same day Tom Cruise flew in.

I came via economy class(Emirates) but Tom came with a private jet.We landed at the same airport,about 70 exotic cars came to pick him while I took a taxi. He is an American actor while I am a Nigerian actor. But see the huge difference. He was well known but I was not. He is not a Dubai citizen but quite popular everywhere. I slept in a cheap hotel but he was first driven to see the Sheik of Dubai and later lodged in a 7-star hotel which cost about $7,000. That money is enough to shoot a movie.

The difference is the system that operates in both countries. Why won’t Nigerian artistes beg? If I have a means of getting the needed capital, I won’t resort to appealing for funds. With the stipends we get, we can’t afford ordinary Volkswagen.We are miserably poor.

The way out is for an average Nigerian to see us as normal people. They should assist us. They should help the industry to grow. Imagine, I need guns for my film,but with due process it will take months to get approval.You have to bribe your way out. Government should come to our rescue.
