Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola has come out to blast those who keep looking for her trouble unprovoked. She recently had her say via a press statement, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, even though her mumu button has been activated ever since she committed herself to God’s hands, troublemakers should not attempt to test her patience.

Wumi added that her haters should not be unlucky enough to meet her on a lonely road, because she wouldn’t be able to hold back.

Her words, “People now look for my trouble unprovoked.
Mumu button activated. God na your hand I dey.
Make we sha no meet for lone road.
Till then, I don mumu.

Make we Burna am
Till then, peace”

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.
