Gist: ‘It’s insulting to say a man must sponsor me before I travel’ – Nollywood’s Angela Okorie

Nollywood actress, Angela Okorie has replied the people who said she’s living off someone.

The actress said she doesn’t need anyone to sponsor her since she had a successful career as a model and singer before even venturing into acting.

She added that her services ‘are still very much in demand.’

In a chat with Punch, she said:

It is very annoying and insulting to say that a man must sponsor me before I can travel out of the country. Before I came into the movie industry, I was a model and singer and I was making good money from that. Even as an actress, I have appeared in a lot of films and my services are still very much in demand.

I am also involved in some other things as well. For anybody to now say that I’m living off anybody is the height of being dumb. Everything I am today is by the grace of God and my sweat.
I am a very hard-working and independent person. I know what I want and I constantly go for it. I don’t need anybody to sponsor me.
