I Sponsored Judy Austin Through School – Ex-Husband

Judy Austin’s ex-husband, Mr Obasi, has said that he sponsored the Nollywood actress through school. He recently had his say during an interview on the Honest Bunch podcast, and fans have been reacting.

Alleging that he played a significant role in supporting Judy’s education, Obasi disclosed that he paid for her major examinations and even bought her first phone.

He added that even though Judy is a very attractive woman, her parents’ pockets forced her to constantly seek help from him.

His words, “Judy Austin… I just chose her. That time I’m 27 plus. She’s a fine girl, but her parents’ pockets are not fine. The first phone she used, I bought it.

During that time, she told me that the main problem she’s facing is WAEC, NECO and JAMB. I pay for WAEC, NECO, JAMB. It’s not something they can deny. Everyone will be a witness.

Then after I paid for her, one of her cousins raised it as an issue; I did the same expenses I did on Judith, on that same guy.”

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.
