Female Circumcision Is The Best Thing To Happen To Me – Victoria Inyama

Nollywood actress Victoria Inyama has come out to speak about her love for female circumcision. She recently had her say during an Instagram live session with medical personality, Daddy Freeze, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, she was actually circumcised while she was living in the village with her grandmother, and looking back, it was the best thing to happen to her.

Affirming that the circumcision gave her absolute power over men, Inyama added that her grandma’s decision saved her from being promiscuous.

Her words, “Yes, I was circumcised. Because I grew up in the village with my grandmother, that is what is helping me.

That’s the best thing they did for me. I swear to God because if I say I am not doing, I am not doing.

And that is the power that I have as a woman, and anybody who tries me, I will give you back.

No one can say they saw me in hotels. That’s the best thing my grandmother did for me.”

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.
