Seyi Edun Must Know That There Is Life Outside Social Media – Wumi Toriola

Nollywood actress, Wumi Toriola has blasted her colleague, Seyi Edun for not wishing her well on her birthday in person.

The movie star recently revealed that Seyi never sent her a personal message to celebrate her but jumped on social media to refer to her as a beautiful soul.

According to her, she could not keep it in because her new year’s resolution is that she would not harbor any kind of hatred in the name of acting matured.

She added that some people have lives away from social media, and she is definitely one of them.

Her words, “If maturity is about playing the victim and always looking for sympathy, we all have what we go through in life, don’t hurt people offline and form maturity online. The intelligent ones can relate.”

“My new beginning has stopped playing such social media games. Let all the calls, messages and insult stop now, some of us have a life away from social media. This is just one of mine, live yours,” she said while addressing the people asking her questions.”

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.
