In a heartfelt Instagram message, Kemi reminded her fans to never fail to value their lives and establish firm boundaries in all forms of relationships.
According to her, it does not matter if it’s against a boyfriend/girlfriend, a friend or a husband/wife, Nigerians should learn to guard themselves and their mental health with all of their strength.
“Do not allow anyone to take your life. Guard it with all your being, be it marriage, friendship, courtship, or any form of relationship,” she wrote.
The moviestar’s post has since sparked wide conversations on social media about self-worth and the importance of setting healthy boundaries, with online users agreeing that no relationship is worth sacrificing one’s peace or life for.
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.
