Nollywood actress Damilola Adegbite has explained why she has not remarried since her divorce from Chris Attoh. She recently had her say via a clip she shared on social media on Friday, and fans have been reacting.
According to her, remarrying is always difficult for single parents because and as a mother, choosing a new partner also means choosing a second parent for her child.
Damilola added that she simply has to be certain that a new husband can be a good father to her son.
Her words, “Having a conversation with a friend of mine, and they asked me a very important question. They asked me why I haven’t remarried after my first marriage. And honestly, the answer came to me very easily. It wasn’t even something I had to think of. … You have to be sure that the person you’re bringing into your life and into your child’s life or your children’s life is capable of being a good parent, someone who would treat your child like theirs … At the end of the day, you’re not just building a relationship, you are building a home.”
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.
