Nollywood actress, Jennifer Obodo has come out to warn Nigerian women against going under the knife until they are done with childbirth.

She recently revealed that doing otherwise is an unnecessary risk that no lady should be willing to take.

According to her, she loves her body, and anyone who does not appreciate it should avoid her completely.

Jennifer added that she believes her height, beautiful smile, legs, and natural complexion is enough for her to succeed in the movie industry.

Her words, “I love my body and I am confident about it. Whoever doesn’t like the boobs or ass like this should avoid me.”

“I have all it takes; my height, beautiful smile, legs and complexion give me edge over others in the industry. For now, I can’t do any liposuction.”

“Going under the knife when I haven’t given birth is just a waste of risk. I can’t go under the knife without birthing to all my kids first. I would also like to advise my colleagues; if at all you want to do it, wait until after child birth then you can do all that.”

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.
