Nollywood actor Lateef Adedimeji has shared a piece of advice on fatherhood. He recently had his say while sharing a video of himself bathing and caring for his triplets, and fans have been reacting.
Stressing that fatherhood isn’t about being perfect, but about being present, Lateef stated that every bath, smile, and cry is a reminder that such moments will not last forever.
The moviestar added that supporting his wife to take care of his kids is one of the greatest privileges of his life.
His words, “Fatherhood isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being present.
Every bath, every smile, every little cry is a reminder that these moments won’t last forever. Supporting their mother, loving my children, and showing up every single day is one of the greatest privileges of my life.
To my wife, thank you for all you do.
To my beautiful babies, Rahman, Raheem and Rakeeb, your dad will always be here.”
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.
