Nancy Isime Celebrates Her 30th Birthday In Style

Popular Nollywood actress, Nancy Isime has jumped on social media to flaunt the sack of money she was sprayed at her birthday party.

She recently revealed this via her social media page, and Nigerians have been reacting.

The media personality turned 30 recently, and she threw an elaborate party with family, friends and colleagues in attendance to celebrate her new age.

At the event themed “Nancy’s Winter Wonderland”, the movie star was sprayed different currencies by her loved-ones and the money was collated in a sack which she shared online.

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.
