My Collaboration With Liquorose Opened Doors In Nollywood – Saga

Former BBNaija housemate Saga has come out to explain how he became a Nollywood actor. He recently emphasised dedication and connection as the key factors that led to his successful acting career, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, his partnership with Liquorose had to happen for Nollywood fans to take him seriously, and he has earned lots of roles ever since.

Saga added that he sang on his upcoming movie titled “Falling Notes” to show a different side to him.

His words, “Speaking of my upcoming movie ‘Falling notes’, I said what can I do? What can I do? I need to do something. It was heavy on my heart in January this year. People have done painting.

What can I do? Let me sing. So I’m sitting here for the first time, saying that I sang in “Falling notes”.

I knew that people wouldn’t take me seriously until they see what I could do so I called Liquorose and we started cooking up different content and it was back-to-back every week like two years.

From that point, I can tell you every producer that has called me to work on their set called me because of those contents I created.”

On intimacy, “Before I get into kissing any actor, I sit with her and I tell you how we’re gonna go about this. I use my hand to describe it’s gonna be quick, we need to know what it is because you don’t want to have your lips locked and then the person is trying to evade your mouth.”

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.
