Stop Bashing The 2 Women Who Went To Aba To Visit A Man They Met Online – Sarah Martins

Nollywood actress, Sarah Martins has come out to slam hypocritical Nigerians for blaming two friends who went missing after heading to Aba to see a man they met online.

Both ladies have been missing for days while the man they went to visit, Andrew Ochekwo, was allegedly killed when he attempted to evade arrest.

While several Nigerians bashed both ladies for travelling to visit a man they met online, Sarah described those bashing the missing women as hypocrites.

She added that many people have met their lovers online, so it is unfair to bash the ladies for doing the same thing.

Her words,

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.
