Nollywood actress, Ruth Kadiri has come out to advise single ladies that wish to get married someday.

She recently had her say on her Instagram page, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to Ruth, single ladies should choose peace of mind over money when choosing a partner, else they’ll regret it for life.

She added that it might not be bad to want a rich or God-fearing man as husband, but peace of mind in marriage is the most important thing.

Her words, “I’ve heard many say I want a rich husband. I want a God fearing man, I want this and I want that. Yet I’ve never seen one person ask for the only thing that can make their union work. PEACE. I feel sorry for sisters who go into marriages, unions. For money. Oh I feel sorry for you.”

“Some claim I have my money I just want a man who has more money. Others down right know in their hearts they do not have it enough to take care of themselves so they want someone who will meet the needs, they themselves cannot not meet. Not judging you. Pls my sisters add peace of mind to that list. I repeat peace of mind should come before money.”

“A married woman who has peace at home is richer than a woman who married a billionaire without peace. Also pls note that as a Single Girl you’re bound to have more value for money than you would when you’re married. So if you go into Marriage because your spouse is rich, regardless of what they spend of you, you are most likely not going to be happy.”

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.
