I Look Forward To The Day My Son Will Call Me Daddy – Yomi Fabiyi

Nollywood actor, Yomi Fabiyi has welcomed a baby boy.

He recently had his say via his social media page, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he looks forward to the day his boy will call him daddy because he adores him completely.

Yomi added that eventually, the boy’s mother and her supporters will realise that one of the tragedies of this world is for a mother to deny a child care, love and tutelage from the father just because of personal ego.

His words, “I wait for the day you are going to call me, introduce yourself or walk up to me and call me daddy.'”

“One day your mother and her supporters will realise that one of the tragedies of this world is for either parent to deny a child care, love and tutelage from the other parent just because of personal ego, pain, hatred, anger & vengeance.”

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.
