Being A Graduate Doesn’t Mean You’re Entitled To A Huge Salary – Mary Njoku

Popular Nollywood actress, Mary Remmy Njoku has come out to defend her husband, Jason Njoku after he was blasted for saying school fees of 4.6 million Naira per term is cheap.

She recently had her say on social media, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to her, there is nothing wrong with her man saying he pays more for his kids, and Nigerians don’t know what it feels like for parents to provide everything they’ve never had for their kids.

She added that no one should blast Jason for the salary he pays his staff because being a graduate doesn’t make you entitled to a huge salary, and if you provide 10k service, you will be paid 10k.

Her words,

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.
