Nollywood actress, Chioma Ifemeludike has come out to address celebrities who took part in the recent #EndSARS campaign in Nigeria.

She recently revealed that these people cannot say they want the progress of the country and still fight to eat from stolen national cake.

According to her, these celebs should end their long throat, because it does not make sense for them to be asking for reformed Nigerian police, a better society while targetting the same national cake.

She added that it is time we start engaging and interrogating Nigerian politicians whenever they need our campaign or company.

Her words, “If you know as a celebrity you participated in the #endsars campaign please try and end long throat as well… You can’t be asking for a reformed Nigerian police,a better society and still have eyes to share from stolen national cake… It is time we start engaging and interrogating these politicians whenever they need our campaign or company.”

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.
