Bisola Aiyeola

Nollywood actress Sharon Ooja has come out to celebrate her best friend Bisola Aiyeola on her 40th birthday. She recently had her say via a lengthy Instagram post, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, Bisola is her confidant and true soul sister, and she is very grateful to God for the “Skinny Girl In Transit” movie that brought them together.

Sharon added that Aiyeola changed the entire meaning of friendship for her, so she deserves to be celebrated.

Her words, “Happy birthday to my best friend, my sister, my confidant, my true soul sister. What we share goes far beyond Instagram Bisola, beyond pictures and captions. I bless God for Skinny Girl in Transit because it blessed me so early in my career with you. It’s in the quiet moments, the prayers, the tears, the laughter, and the love we pour into each other when no one is watching. You love me deeply and truly, and I love you back in equal measure.
You changed the entire meaning of friendship for me. You raised the bar. You showed me what it means to be safe with someone, to be seen, to be held without judgment. That’s why I celebrate you so loudly and openly: what we have is rare. Many don’t see us behind closed doors; they don’t witness the depth of our bond, but that’s what makes it so sacred. It’s not for show. It’s real life. It’s pure. It’s beautiful.
I thank God endlessly for bringing you into my life. His word is true, a friend who sticks closer than a brother, and you have done even more than that. You have shown up, stood firm, prayed hard, loved fiercely, and remained constant.
I celebrate you in every role you carry so gracefully. I admire you so much!! You are an incredible mother, a loving daughter, a loyal sister, and the truest friend. Thank you for trusting me with your deepest secrets. I’m so honoured to keep them so close. Thank you for your vulnerability, for allowing me to see the parts of you that are precious and worth protecting. That trust humbles me, and I never take it lightly.
May the God of angel armies always go before you and stand behind you. May the hosts of heaven surround you with goodness, favour, and peace. You are diligent in your work, and His word says you will stand before kings. You trust God, and His word says you will never see shame. You are protected; if they gather to harm you, they will fall for your sake.
Today and always, I celebrate you, my queen. I am so deeply proud of you. So honoured to walk this life beside you. So grateful to call you my best friend.
I love you beyond words. @iambisola
Happy BIG 40, my soul sister and best friend, what an honour to call you that!!”

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.
