I Lost 50M In One Year As A Businesswoman – Uche Ogbodo

Nollywood actress, Uche Ogbodo has come out to say that her shop was burgled by thieves last night. She recently had her say via her social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, the thieves created a hole in her shop ceiling which they used to gain entrance, and they stole most of her male items with the help of the security officials guarding her shop.

Uche added that the world is extremely wicked, and she wonders how humans are supposed to stay afloat with so much weight on them.

Her words, “I’m already tired! The World is just too wicked! How does one stay afloat with so much weight on them? It feels like staying under water is safer. Loosing close to 50 million a year as a business person. My God! Strong Woman in the Mud! I’m tired!”

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.
