Alex Ekubo

Popular fashion designer Noble Igwe has said that Alex Ekubo’s funeral felt like a celebration of death. He recently had his say via his Instagram page, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the people in charge of the actor’s burial ceremony are to blame for giving Daddy Freeze reasons to slam the funeral.

Noble added that the several clips from Alex’s burial ended up making it seem like attendees were celebrating after his sudden demise.

His words, “There’s really no need to give that Daddy reason to talk. No need for that many videos that make it seem like a celebration. But what do I know?”

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.
