Marrying Jude Orhorha Was A Divine Connection – Efe Orhorha

Nollywood actress Efe Orhorha has come out to narrate how she met and married Jude Orhorha, a fellow actor. She recently shared how their divine connection led to 20 solid years of marriage, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, Efe said their marriage has been nothing but divine since they tied the knot 2 decades ago, and it was easy to say yes because she was absolutely convinced that he was the one.

Efe noted that she met her man at a birthday party where he performed as an actor, and despite being an intern at the time, they kicked things off from there.

She added that she never thought she would marry an actor, but God had other plans for her life.

Her words, “It feels good but I will say for you to marry someone in the same industry, it takes the grace of God. That means the person will be your friend. Both of you have to understand your job and know what you are doing. When you hear certain things about your partner, you won’t run with it. I am married to my friend.

We got married in 2005 and we hardly work together. Once God says whom you will marry, who are you to say no? (laughs). We respect each other’s craft and that has been working for us.”

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.
