In the interview, conducted by Channels Television about three years ago, Abraham confidently spoke about her financial success, insisting that she was not merely making noise about her achievements.

The actress attributed her financial breakthrough in the entertainment industry to her involvement in movies produced by FilmOne.

Recounting her experience, the mother of one disclosed that she received more than ₦40 million for her first movie with the production company.

She contrasted the payment with what she earned while working in the Yoruba movie industry, where, according to her, actors and actresses were often paid significantly less.

Speaking during the interview, Abraham said, “I can confidently tell you that I’m one of the richest actresses; I’m not just a noise maker. I started making money in entertainment when I worked on FilmOne movies. In my first film, I got paid ₦40,000,000, but in the Yoruba industry, they paid us peanuts.”

The resurfaced video has generated discussions online, with social media users revisiting her remarks about the financial differences between productions in the Yoruba film sector and other parts of Nollywood.

Her comments have also drawn attention to the earning opportunities available to actors working with major film production and distribution companies.
