I’m About To Cut My Mini-Dreads For A New Movie – Muyiwa Ademola

Nollywood actor Muyiwa Ademola has said that he is set to cut his mini-dreads. He recently stunned fans with the announcement on social media, and fans have been reacting.

Admitting that movie stars can hardly keep their preferred hairstyles for too long, Muyiwa noted that his decision was triggered by a new movie role he just got.

His words, “Dear AUTHENTICATORS.

I’m about to take off my mini dreads again!
You know an actor can hardly keep such a style! Roles would always demand altering it.
Just telling you ahead ooo.

Have you subscribed to my YouTube Channel? NO! Yes, I know you haven’t. Please do now.

Big Love.”

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.
