Nollywood actor Lateef Adedimeji has opened up about how he reacted when he found out Mo Bimpe was expecting triplets. He recently had his say while speaking during an interview on the Morayo Brown Show, and fans have been reacting.
Describing the moment as both shocking and emotional after a long period of waiting, Lateef revealed that the discovery made him realize that all their years of waiting were finally justified.
The moviestar added that Mo Bimpe is a very brave woman for still standing strong after all she went through.
His words, “It was shocking for me at the same time it was a mixed feeling, when you’ve been expecting something and then it came beyond your expectations that means the waiting is not a bad one.
When you’ve been up and expecting and then it now finally happened you will pamper her but she’s a strong woman.
I could not stay away, we did it together we are in it together, I was right there and I saw it happen it wasn’t an easy task I give it up to the woman well done.”
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.
