The reasons why Gashumba left NTV
Sheilah Gashumba Carol, a former presenter with NTV the Beat, explained why she quit the Serena based station. She said that she was earning UGX 50,000 per show, which she believes is not enough to sustain her brand.
Several people assume that media personalities and TV hosts, in general, earn a lot of money, but according to Rickman Manrick’s girlfriend, Sheila Gashumba, this is not the case.
In a Twitter post, Gashumba said people should start thinking about their value in entertainment because fame won’t pay the bills.
According to Sheilah, she used to receive no transport, no clothing, and yet her makeup cost UGX 80,000 at Trends Saloon, and her hair cost UGX 300,000.
Sheila tried to start a show of her own after leaving NTV Uganda, but it aired for one episode and was never repeated. Her ex-boyfriend God’s Plan was a co-host on Sheila’s show for one episode before it ceased broadcasting.
