Nollywood actor, Yomi Fabiyi’s baba mama, Grace Jimoh has come out to curse trolls who mentioned her son while trying to defend Tonto Dikeh on social media.

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

Recall that Yomi Fabiyi had advised Tonto to stop making threats to others online, but Tonto didn’t appreciate the advice and slammed Yomi, leading to some Nigerians reacting and involving his child.

Reacting, Grace wrote, “Please you can drag me and my husband as you want, but please for God sake keep my son’s name out of it. Except if you wish to bury your children with your hand.”

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.
