I Thank God For Blessing Me With A New Home – Nancy Isime

Nollywood actress, Nancy Isime is celebrating her 33rd birthday.

She recently used the occasion to reflect on her inspiring journey from humble beginnings to achieving her dreams, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, she cannot deny any of God’s blessings in her life, and she is grateful to Him for making it possible for her to own a home.

Nancy added that she actually received the keys and papers to her dream home on December 15, 2023.

Her words, “This is 33!🥹Which of the Lord’s blessings can I deny? None! I remember so clearly, I was about 13, sitting in what was going to be our new home – an uncompleted building, the only windows and doors were those protecting the rooms we would sleep in. Everywhere else was pure carcass! No flooring, No ceilings, No doors, No windows, No running water- just our beloved well, which provided us water to do everything including drink.

I remember sitting there and one day I said… I’m going to own a Good home! But before I buy even a tiny piece of land, I’m going to help Daddy achieve his lifelong dream of owning a fully completed furnished house.

Quietly while everyone was celebrating this new feat, in passing, I said “God, I don do wetin you say make I do oh, abeg help me run my own, but no rush, at your own time” December 15, 2023, I received the keys and papers to my dream home, after making my first initial payment just a few days prior (Slide 4&5).”

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.
