Nollywood actress, come producer, Omoni Oboli, is not happy with the mood in which her job has started this year as she has spent more money on set of a movie which has not even gone far.

The actress recently shared a video of the part of the challenges she goes through before making a movie as she is always being disturbed by hoodlums who come around extorting money from her.

She disclosed that they don’t just come once and ago but come in different factions and that alone is affecting her production due to the amount they end up collecting.

Omoni stressed that with such challenges occurring all the time, she is already fed up shooting movies in Lagos.

Acccording to her, “I am totally fed up! Shooting in Lagos State is such a difficult experience. I've been settling area boys everyday yet they still fight us. The other day, they broke a bottle to stab my crew and seized my van key. You have to settle different factions. I'm a tax paying citizen of Lagos State. As filmmakers, we pay taxes even on a loss. Na beg we dey beg o Akinwunmi Ambode, help us. We are fed up!!! So many people are getting paid on this set. We are bringing commerce and boosting the economy. Please help!!! My money is not for area boys! They think it's their birthright! It's indeed very sad!
