I Stopped Breastfeeding My 3-Month-Old Baby After Junior Pope Died – Adanma Luke

Nollywood actress, Adanma Luke has come out to say that she contemplated suicide after Junior Pope Odonwodu drowned on her movie set in April.

She recently had her say while celebrating Uche Nancy for standing by her during her trying time, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, it got so bad that she even stopped breastfeeding her three-month-old baby because she was depressed and felt death was the easiest way to end the pain.

Luke then called on Nigerians to join her in thanking Uche Nancy for giving her reasons to live.

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.
