“It Is Another Year To Be Grateful” – Regina Chukwu Celebrates Her Birthday

Nollywood actress Regina Chukwu is celebrating her birthday today. She recently wrote a letter to herself to mark her special day, and fans have been reacting.

Expressing how proud she is of herself for all the things she has been through, Regina noted that she has battled a lot of sleepless nights and depressing moments throughout her lifetime.

The actress added that it is another year to be grateful, and she is thankful to God for keeping her and her kids safe.

Her words, “Letter to you, Chinedu, on your birthday.

Chichi, I want to use this opportunity to wish you a Happy birthday and also to tell you how proud of you I am for all the things you have been going through for the last 1 year, most especially the last few months.
Yet, you carry yourself with so much grace.
For the sleepless nights, for those tears that leave the pillows dripping wet, for fighting the depressing moments like these, Ada Oliver, that you are. Yet, you wipe the tears dry once you notice any of your children approaching.
For always trying to show up for people, even when you were drowning.

For all the seen and unseen battles, for chesting disappointment from the people (person ) you trusted with everything, for holding it down real good.
For not compromising even when it got really tough and rough.
Chinedu well-done.

It’s another year to be grateful regardless.
Thank you, Almighty Father, for keeping Regina and her kids safe.
Happy birthday Chinedu
Abosede Regina Chukwu.

If you love me, drop words of encouragement and prayers.
It hasn’t been easy, but thank God we don’t look like what we are going through.”

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.
