It’s the beginning of a new year and everyone is talking about their resolutions for 2014. Joseph Benjamin however has something sterner to say…

The Nollywood actor/show host recently wrote on his Facebook page a ‘general announcement’ stating that he won’t be up for any pro bono project this year.

‘Please don’t ask me to do things pro bono for you, or your organization/magazine/newspaper/etc, unless you fancy being let down, personally’, Benjamin stated.

‘I have serious bills to pay, just like the rest of y’all, so if you want to hire my services, we can talk, but otherwise, don’t even think about approaching me – the time for me to pump up my resume with the fleeting thrill of being a good Samaritan is over unless you pay for it. I repeat over!’, he continued.

Benjamin will possibly be returning as co-host of music talent show Project Fame West Africa later in the year.
