My Wife And I Might’ve Decided To Wait Before Having Kids – Lateef Adedimeji

Popular Nollywood actor, Lateef Adedimeji has come out to share how he and his wife handle online trolls.

He recently had his say while speaking during his interview with Chude Jideonwo, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, someone recently called his wife barren on social media and she showed him the comment, but he keeps telling her to ignore because the trolls will be alright eventually.

Lateef added that people don’t even know if he and his wife decided to wait before having kids, they just prefer to conclude.

His words, “We have always been of the opinion that ‘this is you, and this is me’ and we have conversations all the time.

Over time we have received lots of trolls; recently someone still called my wife barren on social media, and she was like, ‘Ade, come and see,’ and she’d show me. That’s how they come at her every time, but they’d be alright. I always tell her to leave them; they’d be fine and they’d be good. When it’s time, what would be would be, just do your thing.

People don’t know what you go through, and they don’t know your decisions. They don’t even know if we have decided to wait before having kids, and what we are building is not what everybody wants to build.”

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.
