Veteran Nollywood actress Bukky Wright strongly criticised men who label women gold diggers. She recently had her say during an interview, and fans have been reacting.
According to her, a man should take pride in taking care of the woman he is dating and should not even wait until she asks for everything.
Delivering a blunt message to men who cannot afford the financial demands of relationships, Bukky urged them to date according to their level.
Her words, “I hate it when I hear men calling women gold diggers. What do you expect her to dig? Sh*t? No, I won’t… I won’t advise any woman to dig anything less than gold.
Then don’t! Don’t date if you cannot afford it! Or you date according to your level.”
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.
