I Won’t Stop Speaking The Truth Everyone Else Is Scared To Talk About – Aniebiet Francis

Nollywood filmmaker, Aniebiet Francis, has come out to say that she was tagged a bitter feminist when she criticised women who make broke men comfortable. She recently had her say via her social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, only desperate women will try to make a broke man comfortable, and she is glad that a respected pastor’s wife recently echoed her thoughts.

Francis added that she will not stop speaking the truth that everyone else is scared to voice out.

Her words, “This post got me laughing so hard. When I started criticizing women that make men comfortable in being broke, jobless and unproductive.

Pickme women and their “crowns” accused me of being a bitter feminist that is encouraging pussyprenuership. Now a married and respected pastor’s wife is preaching that sermon, car has caught their tongues.

The truth is, years ahead of this generation and I dare to speak that truth everyone is thinking of but are afraid to speak.

I also have the courage to stand alone in a room full of opposing views and still scream that truth to power. Let me find food and eat abeg!”

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.
