Nollywood
Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times.
Etymology
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. The term continue to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later believed to be a portmanteau of the words "Nigeria" and "Hollywood", the American major film hub.
Definition of which films are considered Nollywood has always been a subject of debate. Alex Eyengho defined Nollywood as "the totality of activities taking place in the Nigerian film industry, be it in English, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, Itsekiri, Edo, Efik, Ijaw, Urhobo or any other of the over 300 Nigerian languages". He further stated that "the historical trajectory of Nollywood started since the pre and post independent Nigeria, with the theatrical (stage) and cinematic (celluloid)) efforts of the likes of Chief Hubert Ogunde, Chief Amata, Baba Sala, Ade Love, Eddie Ugboma and a few others".

Walk Away
by: NLTOe, oe, oe
Heyi-yeah-yeah-yea
I could see her head lights
in the strap way from over here.
And I could hear your footsteps to this door
Thought you were in the clear
And I could feel the truth and
Finally, told me what everyone feels
Theres someone I loved that finally,
Brought these eyes to tears.
And Im gone grab my hand so tight,
The door slams behind me one foot five behind her.
My hearts going to beat right trough,
Its just like confessants like I got you taking confessions
I dont believe it,
That you got me feeling like half a man.
I dont believe it,
That you broke this heart like no one can.
I should turn around,
I should walk away,
I should walk away,
I should walk away.
I dont want to leave,
I should walk away,
I should walk away,
I should walk away,
I can barely breath. (eeee)
Ooo, oh, oe, oh, oh, oh
I know youre feeling guilty,
I can see it behind your eyes.
And I can see the tears roll down your face,
But I dont hear the cries.
I must have been a fool cause
I didnt see past all of the lies.
You let me call you my girl,
Knowing damn well that you wasnt mine.
Oe, oe, oeh
And know Im walking right back,
Through the door out of your live,
Cant believe I ever loved ya.
My hearts is going to beat right trough,
Its just like confessants like I got you taking confessions.
Said I dont believe it,
That you got me feeling like half a man.
Said I dont believe it,
That you broke this heart like no one can,
I should turn around,
I should walk away,
I should walk away,
I should walk away.
But I dont want to leave,
I should walk away,
I should walk away,
I should walk away,
But I can barely breath. (eeeeeeee)
Ooo, oooeee oh, oo, oe, oh, oh, oh

But before I go, you gone remember me (remember me).
You seem to turn around,
But w-w-without a sound,
Walking so properly and he can kick it down.
You screaming out my name,
for feeling pain,
Im feeling crazy ..

Said I dont believe it,
That you got me feeling like half a man.
I dont believe it,
That you broke this heart like no one can.
