His words, “A woman is a full circle. Within her is the power to create life, to nurture, to heal, and to inspire. She is the dawn of a new day, the warmth of the sun, and the gentle touch of a summer breeze. Her strength is not measured by her voice, but by the countless lives she touches. She is a warrior, a leader, a mother, a sister, a friend, and a queen.

Her heart is a garden of love, kindness, and compassion. Her soul is a canvas of beauty, creativity, and wisdom. She is a masterpiece, a work of art, a symphony of strength and resilience.

Today , I choose to celebrate every woman , especially those who stand beside us, who support and uplift us. And I inspire other women who are still not sure of who they are to strive for discovery, you’re more than what you think you are ,be bold, be fearless, and be unapologetic, face your fears and go for whatever you so desire,for every scar there is a story of survival, for every tear there is a tale of triumph, for every struggle there is a testament of strength.

Women, you are powerful, you are resilient, and you are enough. May your light shine bright, may your voice be heard, and may your spirit never be broken.”

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.
