Popular Nigerian filmmaker and comedian Ayo Makun, widely known as AY, has expressed frustration over the lack of support from fellow men in the entertainment industry, despite his hard work and efforts to remain relevant.
Taking to his X handle, AY claimed that male filmmakers often struggle with limited support, alleging that men are more inclined to support women. He also pointed out that he is the only male Nigerian filmmaker who has not quit the industry despite these challenges.
In his post, AY wrote:
*”One day, men go tell man ‘wetin man do man.’ We work so hard to stay relevant and take care of our responsibilities. Must we get breasts and yansh to have the support of our fellow men? I am still the only man left in the business of filmmaking who is yet to give it all up.”*
AY’s comments have sparked discussions online, with many debating the challenges male filmmakers face in sustaining their careers in a competitive industry.
