Iya Rainbow advises the government on piracy eradication

Idowu Philips, popularly known as Iya Rainbow who recently clocked 76 has called on the government to put in more efforts at combating the deadly cankerworm called piracy eating up the industry. 
She said “The government should help the industry to eradicate piracy; there was a time a producer was even mobbed when he went to fight some pirates in Alaba. Piracy has eaten deep into the industry, I am grateful to God because I have other sources of income like anchoring weddings and being a brand ambassador. I started anchoring weddings after one of my sisters-in-law insisted that I anchor her child’s wedding fifteen years ago.”

The veteran also advised the upcoming actors and actresses in the industry to live in harmony and stay focused on their career and ambition.

She said “People in the industry should love themselves and be faithful to their colleagues; they should not live a fake life. The youths of this generation think we are stupid but we are not ; there are some things I overlook on set just because of the passion I have for my career. I respect both the old and the young in the industry because of my goal. The reason for failed marriages in the industry is a result of lack of patience; men will always be men, so women have to be patient with them. If a woman should jump from one marriage to another, it sends a bad signal.”
