I’m A Sweet Person To Work With Despite My Past Controversies – Nkechi Blessing

Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing has come out to issue a heartfelt apology for her past controversies.

She recently had her say via her social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, potential business partners and friends often hear negative things about her, thereby discouraging them from associating with her, so she is sincerely sorry to everybody who still see her as an idiot or a nuisance.

Nkechi added that she is really a very sweet person to work with despite her past controversies.

Her words, “I meet someone today that likes me and wants to help me, not sexual, just normal people that like me that didn’t meet me online, and you know in life if you want to do something with somebody, either business, relationship or anything, you will seek third party opinion like ‘this person I met can you tell me some things about her’ and you hear things like ‘ah! Run away from her o, she will drag you online’ why? I am not blaming anybody because this is my doing, na me cause am.

I know I made all of you see me like that, but that is not who I am. Allow me to have friends and business partners in peace. Let them know me by themselves. I know how many deals I have lost, but God’s grace keeps me going.

This is my sincere apology to everybody who has seen me as an idiot, a nuisance, and a notoriety. Please, I beg you in the name of God, if you see someone that wants to work with me, give them the benefit of the doubt. I am a very sweet person to work with.”

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.
