Interviewer: Do the actors/actresses try to bribe you to manipulate the
awards in their favour?
Seun Oloketuyi: It depends on how you hold yourself. I remember in the
third edition when the nominees list came out, one actress sent somebody
to call me and offer me money in order for her to win.
I told the person that the money they offered me wouldn’t change my life in any way.
It is just the money I could spend in less than 24 hours. If I collect money
from anybody, before the next award, the person would easily tell a
nominee to just go and pay a certain amount to me if she or he wanted to
win. We have a long way to go.
Award ceremony is very sensitive. Once you get it wrong the first time, you are doomed. There is no second chance.
Because of that, I cannot collect money from anybody. But then again, I
noticed that once the nominee’s list comes out, some people start giving
us jobs for our other businesses.
