Regardless Of The Thorns Of Marriage, Love Is Still A Beautiful Thing – Van Vicker

Nollywood and Ghollywood actor, Van Vicker has come out to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his marriage to his wife, Adjoa.

He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he feels blessed to have a wife like Adjoa by his side over the years, and he has actually known her for thirty years of his life.

Vicker added that regardless of the thorns that come with marriage, love is still a beautiful thing.

His words, “Today is my 21st wedding anniversary. I am grateful to God. Marriage is a bed of thorning roses. It has extremely lovely times and really trying moments.

In all moments, ‘THE WILL’ is key. Getting married to the ‘right’ person is critical (knowing the person substantially). Staying ‘in love’ is paramount (not just ‘loving’ your spouse.) And finally for me it’s ‘the desire’ to want to stay married (in the absence of abuse). The culminated effect of these 3 points may transcend those thorns in the roses.

Pricky as they may be, however, the internal remedies are sufficient to let you move to the next day and the next and for years. Regardless of the thorns, love is STILL a beautiful thing.I have no regrets about being married and staying married. I pray for Grace to continue this beautiful struggle. I am blessed to have my wife, Adjoa Van Vicker by my side all these years. I have known her for thirty years of life. Happy anniversary to us.”

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.
