The actor, during an interview with a content creator, revealed he was into selling clothes.

According to the actor, what he does is buy products that are on ‘sales’ in the US to resell in Nigeria.
The actor also clapped back at those who have been taunting him over his viral video, as he added that he has been engaging in the business for years even before many of his critics were born.
He revealed he had a number of shops and sales representatives who sold on his behalf.
The actor stressed that despite having people who could sell on his behalf, he was a kind employer, that also liked to be active in the field, which was why he spotted in the viral video.
“I have multiple shops and I have boys who sell for me. I don’t do big man, I go to the field to sell by myself. I have a lot of people selling for me. I have different shops. I monitor my business. I have been doing this business for over 30 years.”
Sylvester also dismissed claims that he had gone financially broke, which was why he became an Okirika seller.
