Mary Njoku, Nollywood actress and film producer, has challenged anyone with proof that she underpays her staff as alleged to come forward and get N1 million.
The ROK Studios boss was found in the eye of a media storm after Jason Njoku, her husband, revealed that he pays more than N4.6 million for their three-year-old child in Montessori school.
Meanwhile, prior to the husband’s statements, Mary had taken to her Instagram page to call out people who expect a good salary on the basis of their educational qualifications and not the value offered.
Unsurprisingly, the Njokus’ comments have triggered backlash with some social media users accusing the couple of being “insensitive”. Others have even gone as far as to allege that they underpay their staff.

However, reacting on Thursday, Mary, who is the founder of ROK Studios, dared those making the allegations to come forward with evidence.
“I run ROK. And we value our employees irrespective of their educational qualification. So, come forward with proof if you know any current ROK staff who earns 30k 70k or even 90k. Graduate or illiterate. And get one million Naira plus a public apology. Come forward publicly please,” she said via her Instagram.

The businesswoman also apologised over her comment on educational qualification, noting that there are people who indeed work hard but earn less because they couldn’t further their education.
“I want to apologise for speaking about meritocracy. For speaking up for smart people who work hard but underpaid because they couldn’t afford to further their education. I apologise,” she said.
