No One Will Associate With A Broke Celeb, Fake It Till You Make It – Eniola Badmus

Nollywood actress, Eniola Badmus has come out to speak about celebrities who live fake lives on social media.

She recently had her say in an interview with popular media personality, Chude Jideonwo.

According to her, famous people have to fake it till they make it because people do not like associating with broke people.

She added that it is best to live a fake lifestyle to get jobs since such a lifestyle is also very expensive.

Her words, “If they are living a fake life, they are living it for a reason, and the reason is so that they can get more jobs.”

“Whether you like it or not, people don’t associate with broke people, so you need to fake it to make it. Fake life is expensive on its own.”

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.
