Nollywood actress Oyindamola Sanni has opened up on her experience as a returning cast member in “Aníkúlápó: The Ghoul Awakens.” She recently spoke about her long-term ambitions within Nigeria’s film industry, and fans have been reacting.

According to the moviestar, reprising her role as “Olatorera” in the highly anticipated second season was a fulfilling experience, and the strong working relationship on set was super admirable.

Oyindamola added that playing a lover girl in the project was very straightforward because she is a lover girl in real life.

Her words, “I enjoyed a great experience and working relationship on Aníkúlápó Season Two.

Working with Sola Sobowale, who played my mum, was very special. We catch up a lot and she is one of my mentors.

Olatorera is a lover girl and she never learns. No slacking and no dulling. I’m a lover girl in real life too; that’s me.

When Uncle Kunle asked if I could speak Portuguese, I said no, though I could speak a bit of Spanish. I had to download an app and really put in the work to learn the language.

I’m happy it came out well and fans loved it. I expect viewers to love the new season and see Olatorera as the lover girl who is also ambitious, just like her mum, Awarun.

I see Nollywood becoming the largest film industry in the world. I see myself owning a film studio, becoming a household name, impacting lives through storytelling and creating opportunities for people.

I am very particular about the stories I tell. They must be fascinating.”

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.
