Samuel Abiola Robinson, one of the lead actors in the film ‘Sudani From Nigeria’, has lashed out at the producers for racially discriminating against him.
Robinson took to Facebook to inform about the same, He wrote, “I believe that I was a victim of racial discrimination while in Kerala. It was nothing violent or directly in my face but for my role in Sudani from Nigeria, the producers offered me far less money than the Indian actors who are not half as popular or accomplished as I am. I only became better enlightened after meeting several young actors and discussing payment with them. I am of the opinion that this happened purely because of my skin colour and the assumption that all Africans are poor and don't know the value of money"

However, the actor had appreciated about Kerala as a state. He wrote in another Facebook post. He wrote, "I do not think that Kerala people are racist as I experienced no such racist treatment from the general Kerala public, I very much enjoyed my stay in Kerala, the culture, the Biryani and all. But I am offended and feel that it is unfair that I should have this much-unexpected scrutiny on my activity and general life without the cushion of decent financial payments, which could have easily been afforded by the producers."
