Timini Egbuson Credits YouTube for Career Support

Timini Egbuson, a Nollywood actor, revealed on October 13 that he once looked down on YouTube movie productions before recognizing their significant impact on his career. In a post on X, he admitted that had he continued to underestimate YouTube releases, he would have faced severe financial hardship.

Egbuson, 39, made his acting debut in 2010 on the M-Net soap opera Tinsel and has since established a successful career in the Nigerian film industry. He has starred in several popular Nollywood films, including Breaded Life, Elevator Baby, Introducing the Kujus, Dinner At My Place, and A Tribe Called Judah.

Egbuson also noted that his failure to make the final cut for the eighth season of Big Brother Africa in 2013 led to his breakout role on MTV Shuga later that same year.
