Love Alone Won’t Sustain A Struggling Household – Nancy Isime

Nancy Isime

Nollywood actress Nancy Isime has shared her thoughts on the role of money in relationships and marriage. She recently had her say during a recent episode of the Tea With Tay podcast, and fans have been reacting.

Addressing what she believes is a growing misconception about love and financial hardship, Nancy stated that while love is important, financial stability plays a major role in determining how peaceful a marriage can be.

The moviestar added that love alone is not enough to sustain a struggling household.

Her words, “Marriage is not a poverty alleviation scheme but I don’t believe marrying a poor man can make you happy.

When rent is due, school fees can’t be paid and there is no food in the house, it is difficult to have a fantastic life.

I am not saying there is no love without money. But love and fantastic life are not the same.”

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.
