1 / 2

Nollywood actors Obatide Kelvin and Debbie Shokoya jokingly demanded a share of the reported revenue from Mide Martins’ film, IYA, while they were on a movie set together. Obatide claimed the film had earned more than ₦500 million on YouTube and asked for ₦3 million on behalf of Mide’s supporters and “Omoonile.” Debbie also repeated the revenue claim, although no independent confirmation was provided. The light-hearted exchange happened during filming, where Mide and other cast members were also seen becoming emotional while acting out a scene.

If the reported YouTube revenue is accurate, what do viewers think made IYA connect strongly enough to reach that level?

I agree, that kind of reported figure suggests the film found a strong connection with many viewers.

The colleagues turning a set conversation into jokes about their own share shows how quickly a big film number becomes gist.

The ₦500 million figure is reported, though, so it makes sense not to treat the joking demand as proof of the final earnings.

Beyond the banter, clear revenue reporting can help audiences and collaborators understand how successful online film releases are.
