I Left My Marriage Because Akin Olaiya Mistreated Me – Wife

Akin Olaiya and his wife

Nollywood actor Akin Olaiya’s estranged wife, Nafisat Hammed, has spoken publicly about the crisis in their marriage. She recently had her say via her social media page, and fans have been reacting.

Denying claims that she was forced to marry the actor, Nafisat stated that no one in a happy union would willingly walk away.

She concluded by alleging that after their separation, Olaiya married one of her close friends.

Her words, “I’m staying with my ex-husband. I’m expecting a lot because he’s older than me, like I’m still young, but I don’t mind marrying him when he’s older than me, like the age gap is much. And I decided to marry him no matter what, because when you want to marry someone, age does not matter if you really like that person.

Last three months ago, I left my marriage because I’m pained, I’m mistreated, and I feel like I did not matter. And nobody is going to stay in a marital home that goes with violence. Me and my husband, we’re not together anymore for like a long time, since last year.

So why don’t you think that when someone is enjoying his marriage, that person can never pray for something to happen, for her to leave. You keep on enjoying your marriage, being with your husband, praying to have your own kids, and living your happy life. But when marriage is violent, something really goes on that you don’t even know about, you just have to leave.

And imagine after all that, after the mistreatment, pain and everything, the husband end up marrying your own best friend. So what does that mean? What does that mean?”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
