He recently had his say during a recent appearance on the Soni Irabor Live show broadcast, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, such women refused the advances of their male peers when they were as young as 18, 19, 20 in the university and decided to be with rich old men who were taking care of their bills.
Kanayo added that people see them and think they are having fun, but they are constantly praying for God to bring any man their way.
His words, “A young girl will be in the university at 18, 19, 20. She starts dating a very rich guy—sometimes very old. Then, what you see along the line is that because the guy is very rich (maybe married), she refuses advances of other younger people to her.
Because this guy has either gotten her a car and a house. So, to her, she’s reached a very high level. From 22, she goes on to 24. And maybe, even if she quarrels with this guy, she gets her next guy. Before you know it, she turns 25, 26 unmarried because she is refusing the advances of younger prospective husbands.
Now she gets into 29, 30. By that time, she has left the university. And men are no longer maybe finding her that attractive. So, she gets into 31, husband is not coming. And what do you have? At 23, it’s a flex.
At 28, she becomes a prayer point. At 33, she is now declared a state of emergency. And some of them even get into 35.
And you see them and think they are having fun, they are not having fun. They are now a state of emergency praying that God bring anyone.”
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.
