Many People Supported Me Organically Despite APC Primary Defeat – Ned Nwoko

Popular Nigerian politician Ned Nwoko is still proving haters wrong following his primary election loss. This comes amid reports that the lawmaker had just 3 physical supporters during the election, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Reacting, Ned simply shared a video of the massive crowd that came to support him, urging members of the public to wait for the election’s outcome.

Stressing that his supporters weren’t rented like some other politicians do, Nwoko added that he is blessed with organic support.

His words, “Organic supports by the people of Anioma from various wards for Delta North APC primaries on Monday, May 18th 2026.”

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.
