I Thought Daniel Ademinokan Travelled, But He Suddenly Called To Say He Wasn’t Coming Back – Stella Damascus

Nollywood actress, Stella Damascus has come out to say that she found out her marriage had ended on YouTube.

She recently revealed this during an interview with Teju Babyface, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, she suddenly started receiving phone calls from people asking her what had happened between her and her previous husband, Daniel Ademinokan, and she eventually went on to search for a video where her ex had mentioned that he was no longer married to her.

Stella added that her former husband was only supposed to travel for a while, but he called her a few days later to say he was not coming back.

Her words, “I pride myself to be a respectful person. A lot of things were said about me on Youtube because that is how I found out my marriage had ended. I didn’t know that my marriage had ended.”

“The man in question travelled and was supposed to be away for a while and he was to come back and a few days after the man travelled, my phone was buzzing, I received messages from people asking what is going on? Are you okay? Why didn’t you tell me there was something happening? I am like what are all these links they are sending to me? As I started typing my name and before I was done, videos start coming up ‘Stella’s third marriage crashes’, ‘Karma is a b!tch’”

“And I called and we had a conversation and at that time I still didn’t know that anything had happened until I got his final call to say No I am not coming back.”

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.
