Nollywood actress Bimbo Ademoye has hailed her senior colleague, Blessing Obasi. She recently shared her experience working with her for the first time, and fans have been reacting.
According to her, as soon as she called Blessing to describe her character, the actress immediately got the memo and styled herself from top to bottom.
Describing her as a Queen and more, Bimbo emphasized how Obasi made a statement with just one scene.
Her words, “Can we just give this queen called @blessingjessicaobasi her flowers!!!. When I called blessing, told her the character, she said, “leave it to me” . Blessing styled herself from top to bottom! When we were about filming her scene, I noticed her zipper, told her ” blessing adjust your blouse, the zipper is loose ” she said “that’s the style,na me do am like that” Blessing, YOU ARE A QUEEN AND MORE! You had just one scene, and you made a statement! You added the space to where love lives. Oshey ore mi!

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.
