I Never Wanted Many Kids – Shaffy Bello

Nollywood actress Shaffy Bello has revealed why she decided to undergo a permanent form of birth control many years ago. She recently had her say during a conversation about motherhood on her YouTube channel, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, even though her former husband wanted them to have many kids, she decided to tie her tubes because she did not want to have a large family.

Shaffy added that she always knew the size of the family she wanted, so no amount of pressure was going to change her mind.

Her words, “My ex-husband had to beg me to have another one. I didn’t want a lot of children. I wanted to stop.

So they went through my navel, went in there, did what they needed to do, and they tied it up. That was it. They closed my eggs.

I’ve always said to myself that after tying my tubes, if I get pregnant, I will feel like Mary, it’s a holy child.”

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.
