Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu has once again spoken about the relationship between Yul Edochie and his estranged wife, May Edochie. He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.

Describing May as a rare woman, Uche insisted that Yul Edochie will never find a better wife material than his ex-wife.

Stressing that veteran actor Pete Edochie has always acknowledged May’s qualities, the moviestar added that she was a special blessing in Yul’s life.

His words, “Yul Edochie, you can never find a good wife material like Queen May again.

Any woman you find can never be as great as Queen May because she was a gift from God to you or why did you think your Dad, Sir Pete Edochie, is always singing her Praise?”

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.
