How My Husband Reacted To My Bigger Paycheck – Blessing Obasi

Nollywood actress Blessing Obasi has shared how her husband, actor Stan Nze, reacted after she landed a movie role that paid her significantly more than he was earning at the time.

Speaking during an interview with Morayo Afolabi Brown on YouTube, Blessing recalled that in 2017, she was offered ₦600,000 for a role in the movie Castle and Castle. She described the offer as a major breakthrough and said she was excited to share the news with Stan, who was still her boyfriend then.

According to Blessing, Stan did not feel threatened by her success despite the fact that his highest movie paycheck at the time was ₦100,000. Instead, he celebrated her achievement, held her hands, prayed for her sincerely, and encouraged her.

She said Stan told her that she was destined for greatness and assured her that the opportunity was only the beginning of bigger things to come.

Blessing praised her husband’s support, saying his reaction showed genuine love, confidence, and belief in her success rather than jealousy or insecurity.

She said:

“In 2017, the owners of Castle and Castle offered me ₦600,000 as my pay, and I was so excited.

“When I told my husband, who was still my boyfriend at the time, he looked at me, held my hands, prayed for me and told me I am a star and this is just the beginning.

“My husband’s highest pay at that time for a role was ₦100,000, and I was going to earn more than him, but he prayed for me from his heart and reminded me how great I am.”
