Nollywood actress, Uche Elendu has come out to blast a follower who accused her of lying about her daughter’s age.

It all went down on her Instagram page recently, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Uche simply posted a photo of herself and her daughter and the troll, @dato_sharon_cross commented that they gave birth at the same time, so her baby girl cannot be four.

The follower wrote, “Uche your daughter should be 6 years old you give birth to her in 2015 in America before IU give birth to my daughter months later every year she is 4 years old na wa000 na some mothers dey drop their children age teaching them how to lie with age na waooo you were with my baby father in the US when you had your baby shower….why removing two years every year 4 years not nice what do u gain in doin that.”

Uche responded, “Are u crazy? Oh yes you’re clearly demented. R u mad? R u gonna tell me how old my daughter is you this idiot? Better go check out your mental health state, cos this daughter of mine was born in April 2016.”

“I try so hard to ignore trolls on this App but it’s very obvious that some really need to be put in their place, especially when it has to do with my family life, Like it’s the Audacity for me, can this woman be telling me when I had my baby?? Did your so called baby daddy also say he got me pregnant in 2015???
Jeez u guys need to chill , yall claim to know me more than I know myself. Freaking STOP IT.”

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.
