Nollywood actress, Nkechi Sunday Blessing has come out to blast colleagues who go for cosmetic surgery but pretend to be using slimming tea.

She recently revealed this on her social media page, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to her, she is very disappointed that her colleagues will go under the knife and then come out to sell slimming tea, thereby concealing the fact that they underwent a surgical process.

Nkechi added that she has no problem with celebrities who believe in surgery, she just hates the deceit.

Her words, “If una don go do surgery**of which it’s not a bad idea cus me sef go soon do my own **the one wey go make me and una fight na when una do am finish come begin advertise slimming teal NBS will personally look for you and beat craze out of your head..Give me your doctor number instead before I swear for you.”

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.
