<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">She stated this on her Instagram page on Saturday morning, June 11th.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">According to her, women are also doing big things.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">In her Instagram post, Mary Njoku narrated how a lawyer expressed disbelief that she can&#8217;t afford to pay a rent worth millions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">She added that she spent over 45mins trying to convince her I can afford the rent but she didn&#8217;t believe me.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">However, she had to call a male Colleague whose career is &#8216;stronger&#8217; than mine to help be the guarantor.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Taking to her Instagram page, Mary Njoku wrote, &#8220;<span style="color: var(--c-contrast-800);">Dear Women, women are doing big things too!!!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Few weeks ago, a family member needed a guarantor for her rent and I went to the lawyer&#8217;s office to sign.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Spent over 45mins trying to convince her I can afford the rent but she didn&#8217;t believe me.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">&#8220;Thought I was an actress whose career has refused to blow. She needed a proof that I am truly the Founder of ROK. Or the CEO of the studio. I Googled my name but she no gree ?. For her eye I can&#8217;t be ME. I be small geh. The Agent and I begged her to do her small research but refused. Told her I will get CEO of IROKOTV to co sign but she said I was calling big big names. She insisted on seeing my business card. I had non. BUSINESS CARD wey dem fit write anything o! ??</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">I had to call a male Colleague whose career is &#8216;stronger&#8217; than mine to help be the guarantor. She was a fan and super happy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I was sad. For her. She lives in a box. An old one.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Today, Nollywood is arguably controlled by women. We sign almost all the cheques!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">But I guess I am too young and too simple to be ME.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">I had no entourage</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">I waited at their reception</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">I was super polite to her</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">She even asked for the name of my Grandfather&#8217;s village.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">I was nice.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Yet she insisted on being a fool. Sad.&#8221;</span></p>
