“Stop Accusing Me Of Running Fake Giveaways” – Bimbo Ademoye To Fans

Nollywood actress Bimbo Ademoye has come out to address criticism from some followers over her giveaways on social media. She recently had her say via her Instagram page, and fans have been reacting.

Warning her followers against accusing her of running fake giveaways online, Bimbo stated that she will not tolerate such disrespect from anyone.

The moviestar added that even though many people expect to benefit from her giveaways, she simply cannot meet everyone’s needs.

Her words, “While I understand that the economy is tough and a lot of us need money, I also understand that you guys love me dearly and have poured that love into watching this movie (I mean, I could never get 10 million views in 10 days on my own ), so you feel you deserve the giveaway more than the next person.

I need you to understand that I’m only one person; there are 5.1 million of you here! If I could, I’d give every single one of my followers the money without stress, but that would be a total of 510 billion naira! I no get, my papa no get, my forefathers no get! I’m only doing the little I can from MY POCKET!

So, for some of you to attack me, screaming favouritism when I ensure my friends and family don’t participate in my giveaways so it doesn’t look like I’m biased, some people even came to my dm recently saying my giveaways are fake, hurling insults at me, one even called me “stingy goat”.

I think that’s out of line! I do not do well with disrespect at all, public figure or no public figure; I do not appreciate disrespect in any way, shape or form.

We might kiki, catch a cruise and all, but when you cross the line, I can be petty enough to find you, then we can handle it one-on-one!

Pls let’s be guided! LET US ALL BE GUIDED! I’ve given out millions without a single soul knowing. This giveaway is to give back to my people and have fun while at it. Pls DO NOT play with me!! I have never, in my life, met or known anyone who has won my giveaway before they won it. Not once! Caution guys! Caution!”

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.
