God Doesn’t Support Men Splitting The Bills With Women – Mary Njoku

Mary Njoku

Nollywood actress and filmmaker Mary Njoku has addressed men who demand a 50/50 split in their relationship. She recently had her say via her social media page, and fans have been reacting.

Noting that God already punished humans equally for sinning in the Garden of Eden, Mary shared that He cursed women to experience pain in childbirth and cursed men to labour to feed their families.

The moviestar added that men should stop trying to change things by splitting the bills with their wives.

Her words, “When God was punishing humans for sinning in the Garden of Eden, the curse on women was: she will suffer in pain in child bearing.
For Man: he will labour to get food to feed himself and his wife.
Now there’s one party (men) that wants to share their curse 50/50.

Guys, let everyone stick to their curse.

Let’s all carry our God-given cross gracefully, please. Thank 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.
