I Struggled To Make Ends Meet As A Young Girl – Uche Montana

Nollywood actress Uche Montana has come out to reflect on her life journey. The moviestar recently shared how she started struggling to make ends meet at a very young age, and fans have been reacting.

Admitting that she wasn’t born with a silver spoon, Uche disclosed that she struggled to raise her head above water to become what she is today.

Montana added that growing up was a wonderful journey because every turn her life took made her who she is today.

Her words, “I wasn’t born with a silver spoon. I come from an average family. My father used to own a farm, while my mother was into business. I have three siblings, an elder sister, a younger brother and sister. In family, there’s love and bonding.

Growing up for me was a journey. As an adult, I see that every step of the way has brought me to where I am today.

It would take a special kind of man to pursue a relationship with me and accept me fully. While fame has brought challenges in dating, it’s also given me financial stability and comfort, allowing me to provide for her family and live comfortably.

Fame is not supposed to make love difficult, but it might be because of the kind of world that we are in.”

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.
