Jide Kosoko’s Daughters Will Be Ashamed If I Expose Him – Nkechi Sunday

Nollywood actress, Nkechi Sunday Blessing has come out to react to the pledge made by veteran actor, Jide Kosoko, that the leadership of the Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria, TAMPAN will work against her in the movie industry.

She recently had her say via her social media page, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Jide Kosoko had this to say, ”Nkechi Blessing has been suspended. She is not our member. I make bold to tell you this, we will work against her in this industry.”

Nkechi Blessing reacted by saying if she talks about Jide Kosoko, his grown-up daughters will be ashamed of him.

Her words,

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.
