Today is YOUR day o, and I’m not about to act normal about it. I’m celebrating you in the most extra, soft, mushy, over-the-top way because that’s exactly what you deserve.

You’re not just fine… you’re FINE inside and out.
And every single day, I thank God for the moment our paths crossed because what a blessing you are. Your heart? Pure gold. Your love? Loud and soft at the same time. Your kindness and compassion? Unmatched, no competition.

And guess what? I don’t just love the “perfect” you… I love every version of you. The strong you, the soft you, the tired you, the playful you… all of it.

As you step into this new year, may God’s goodness and mercy follow you. May His wisdom guide you, His grace carry you, and everything you touch turn to testimony in Jesus’ name. Amen

I love you, scatter, my baby. And I’m so ready to do this life thing with you, side by side, laughing, growing, annoying each other small, small, till we’re old, wrinkled, and still doing our indoor ere ipa (you like rough play ehn). Till death do us part.

Happy birthday, my queen, OLUWATOYIN MAKINDE.”

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.
