Salinko speaks about acting's financial benefits
In an interview with media personality Nana Romeo, Salinko shared that he made significant financial gains from starring in numerous Kumawood movie projects.
The comic actor noted that despite earning some money from acting, the movie business helped him land high-profile brand ambassadorial and TV advertisement deals.
“By God’s grace, I made money from acting in Kumawood movies. Movie acting helped me although the films I shot gave me a certain amount of money. The movies took me to a certain level to the extent that I became a brand ambassador for some people. Till now, I have brand ambassadorial deals and still shoot adverts for some products. I will take money from you before I make any advertisements. They also reach a wide audience when I do it for you.”
Oboy Salinko shared that the movie acting business helped him acquire three plots of land in well-known communities in Kumasi several years ago.
He noted that he bought expensive lands near the Santasi roundabout, as he did not prefer acquiring them in lesser-known areas.
The comic actor said he bought the lands in around 2014 or 2015, and the least expensive one cost him 20K Ghana cedis, while the most expensive one cost him 55K Ghana cedis.
Oboy Salinko added that he planned on building a hospital on one of the lands and gifted another land to his family, with his late mother's name on the documents.
