Nollywood actress, Tana Adelana has come out to reflect on her major health challenge over the past year. She recently had her say via her social media page, and fans have been reacting.
According to her, her sickness went as far as making her feel like a shadow of herself, but she is grateful to God for giving her the grace to continue her Nollywood projects regardless.
Tana added that it was a very tough period for her, but she had good friends who ensured that she never felt alone.
Her words, “What you’re watching are excerpts from my video diary of my journey in the last year, different times, different time zones.
I didn’t put that diary together to avoid giving the devil any power over me.
God showed up and showed out! That’s all the strength I need.
When you see me smile and happy going forward, please pardon me, I am just trying to LIVE and be grateful to God who kept me.
Thank God for my few good friends and family who made sure I wasn’t alone through it all.

A big thank you to everyone who reached out to me when they didn’t see me. To those who tried but couldn’t get through, I am grateful. Thank you!
EL ROI that sees me is the greatest! I am grateful.
I made a couple of movies while I struggled, and I looked like a shadow of myself. I will share later.”
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.
