Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has clapped at those attacking her over her reaction to Baba Ijesha and Luminee’s pregnancy news. She recently had her say via her social media page, and fans have been reacting.

Defending herself via her Instagram page, Nkechi blasted trolls for constantly bringing up her failed relationships to drag her, stressing that none of her exes were paedophiles.

Insisting that she cannot be shamed for not being married yet, the moviestar added that some women are simply opposed to the idea of marriage.

Her words, “Always quick to shut people up with you, dey change men like cloth.

At least none of them is a paedophile. Ogun kill all of una. It’s like una thinks say, I well?

You don ever ask yourself if some of us want to marry? Cos you open your rotten mouth, dey marriage shame me.
Oya dey go now.

Married women’s association. Ndi suffering and smiling.”

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.
