I took a break from acting because it doesn\u2019t pay much and I am not ready for that kind of life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to pretend about it; so, I am only focusing on what brings greater remuneration, which is television presenting and hosting of events.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cActing would just be a hobby because honestly, producers can\u2019t afford to pay what I want to earn. But I will not stay away from movies totally; I will pick only exceptional movies instead of featuring in all the ones I am invited to partake in. I don\u2019t have so much time for little money. I am not here to pretend all is well. I am in the industry to make money; I am not in the industry to play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Uti Nwachukwu also dismissed claims that he didn\u2019t attend Yomi Casual\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, he did show up at the ceremony but spent only a short period because he had other things to attend to.<\/p>\n<p>About why he\u2019s not married yet, Uti said he was not in a rush to do so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will marry at the right time and marriage is not a competition. Once I find the right person, nothing will prevent me from getting married. I am an adult and my parents are educated. Therefore, they can\u2019t force me to get married,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 65 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Tuesday, 5 December 2017 Source: Nigeriafilms.com 2017-12-05 Winner of Big Brother Africa 5, Uti Nwachukwu Winner of Big Brother Africa (BBA) All Stars edition, Uti Nwachukwu, has said that beyond the glitz and glamour of appearing on screen, acting does not pay much.
