People In Good Relationships Should Speak Out More – Damilola Adegbite

Nollywood actress Damilola Adegbite has clamoured for the normalisation of sharing good stories about relationships and marriages. She recently had her say via her social media page, and fans have been reacting.

Stressing that long-lasting relationships still exist, Adegbite stated that despite all of the horror and terrible stories we constantly hear about marriages, good unions are still a thing.

The moviestar added that people who are in good relationships should speak out more to establish the fact that having a partner can guarantee peace and growth.

Her words, “Today, I am feeling some type of way. Is there anyone who still believes in love?

Besides the horror and terrible stories that we keep hearing; disappointments in marriages, betrayals, and heartbreak.

I still believe that long-lasting relationships can exist. I feel like I don’t want to be alone; am I dreaming of La La Land?

Does anyone have a partner who has been a genuine blessing? I’m not talking about being in front of the camera; in private, you are something else. I am talking about behind the scenes; your partner has made you a much better version of yourself.

Let’s normalise sharing stories of relationships and marriages that bring peace, growth, and purpose too.”\

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.
