Nigerian movie producer and actor, Chris Bassey, has revealed that he has left the Nigerian entertainment industry for plumbing in Canada.

He made this known during a recent Instagram Live interview with media personality Daddy Freeze.

Bassey disclosed during the live chat that his new career pays better than tech jobs and also gives him a more relaxed lifestyle.

Freeze had queried Bassey about his career choices since he moved abroad.

“I am into construction here; I do construction; I am a plumber,” the movie producer said.

“In the last seven months, the provinces I have visited on weekends just within Canada, someone who is into tech cannot afford what I was paid. I am not capping. I know what I am saying; I do not know about the US but there.”
