Rita Dominic Declares: 'I Never Believed I Would Still Be Relevant In Revitalised Nollywood'

That Nollywood is presently going through a revitalised phase is no surprise, but that some actors and actresses, who have been in the game for some time and are still relevant in the movie industry is surely surprising.

Not many, who craved for a better Nollywood, are making relevance in the game now. Some have backed off while some have simply remained underground trying to strategise on how to fit in or make a come back, if possible.

For the likes of Omotola Ekeinde Jalade, Genevieve Nnaji, Jim Iyke, Rita Dominic and few others, there is no doubt that they are still threats to many up and coming actors and actresses.

In an interview captured by Nigeriafilms.com some months ago at an event, Rita Dominic revealed that she is amazingly surprised that she is still relevant in the 'new' Nollywood, which has undergone sporadic changes.

When asked to comment on Nigerian movie industry in yesteryears compared to how it is today. The 2012 AMAA Best Actress of the Year winner said, "it (Nollywood) has grown tremendously. I never believed I would be here to witness these changes, but I am still here. The industry can only get better."

Rita is one of the few Nollywood icons that have survived the breeze that is sweeping through the film industry. She has been busy on a movie location in Ibadan, Oyo State, where she spent about four months before returning to Lagos few days ago.

As Nse ekpe would say , she wasn't born to marry, so her friend Rita was also not born to marry. At least the likes of Mary Remmy are marrying early, so free the desperate old cargoz (in tonto's dike voice) that refuse to marry. Good morning all and have a blessed day
Sweet Rita!
Nneoma | 8/13/2012 2:35:29 AM |
My dear, keep doing wat u know how to do best & make urself happy, marriage will happen when it wants to happen. Deal with her status or get married on her behalf, marriage is by choice not by force.

Folu | 8/13/2012 4:22:24 AM |
a REAL relationship based on REAL LOVE,REAL TRUST AND REAL SECURITY and not that fake crap that enslaves some poor guy to some woman who blows hot one minute and blows cold the next minute and she can do whatever she likes coz the guy was dumb enough to sign a legal contract (marriage certificate) in the presence of witnesses (wedding invitees) who can testify in the court of law. He has to wear a ring (which is the greek symbol for eternal bondage) as a sign of his "undying love" and "commitment" to the "marriage". Utterly sad and pathetic! ! !
Rita enjoy your single life , People marry late in life, but please consider having children to inherit your hard labour

Pls, free her, let her take her time. As a single lady, U can still be fulfilled, it depends on U focus and Ur mindset. The married are looking for a way to run out while U're pressurizing the singles to move in. Free Rita abeg, make she no marry out of pressure just to please the public.

Ruth | 9/23/2012 8:59:15 AM |
Please people, why are you so much bothered about those people's marriage, everyone has a choice and i guess their choice is not that of marriage and besides people have their time frame for everything. What i wish is are they going on well with their lives whether married or not. Rita i like your acting and keeping your body to date. People like her and Genevive, i like thier self respect, is marriage the only ticket to heaven? Some people who are single are far better off the married ones. So marriage is not a basic need in one's life. I am from Uganda

Speak for yourself, live your life how you want, and let her live as she wants. Keep your own values to yourself and live by them and let others do the same. If she wants Fame, let her pursue it and if your own life is only defined by being married, then go and get married.

Marriage is not a TREAT or HOLIDAY!
Nobody should be forced to get married when they are not ready to or they simply dont want to. Marriage is never a nice to have cause marriage has alot of complications and alsot of life challenges such as u already have wasted alot of money for the wedding,t han u have countless fights and cries with your partners, than you have your kids whom wont stop giving you hell. . . But for those whom are ready for marriage, all those problems would be actually worth it and it wont be worth it to those whom are not into marriage.

As for me personally, I take life as it comes and Im neutral about marriage. If its faited for me to get married than I shall otherwise why bother, life goes on and cherish it to the fullest.

Biological clock
fred | 8/13/2012 4:45:57 AM
Men get married anytime we want, even at 90. and I hope this is not a consolation for single/ aging lady who needs encouragement cos she's about giving up searching?Well, they say a woman's biological clock doesn't start ticking until she's 36. but if she is by any means intends to marry a Nigerian, then my only advice to her will be to "Make hay while the sun shines".
You don't need to get married to have a baby.. Marriage isn't a must for everyone.
I remember when I was serving,my beautiful Corper girlfriend wanted a baby but I declined on the grounds that I wasn't ready at the time.13 yrs on am greatful to her . Now we are back and married with another blessing a 2yrs old .

Here Is A Note Of Caution...
"O" | 8/13/2012 10:37:40 AM |
There is a saying that, "when a woman is moody, it's hormones! When a man is moody, it's stress, or money problems, or one of those days"! It's not convincing or true anymore! Apart from mid life crisis, like women, men show some similar symptoms as menopausal women such as mood swings, depression, feeling fat/weight gain, loss of energy, decreased libido,etc. Studies equate these factors to male menopause!

Yea, I agree with you - men can marry at any time for their grand kids to fulfill their sexual obligations. It is equally worth noting that at 91, his "child" (whether biologically his or not) will be one year!

It is unbelievable the way some men overrate themselves! My friend's husband told her last week that "she doesn't look sexy anymore after having 3 children with him"! Here is her response: " Okay...how about if I tell you how I want your er...prick? I mean my preference for your bits"? His jaw dropped immediately. And she continued..."nice tight firm balls...not saggy and hanging...or low in the sack...all hair removed from the area to give a nice clean look...and finally the absolute "essential"...a minimum thickness of 4 inches and a length of nothing under 8 inches...preferably bigger...we make love at least four times a week...you last not less than 20 minutes on each occasion(or until I reach orgasm)...no sexual performance enhancing drugs taken"... After he picked his jaw from the floor, he said , " dor--don---dontu-don-t-t-t-t-t-t min-d-d me-he-he-hee, a-a-a-I wo-wosu o-on-ly pu-pu-pulling yo-yo-your leggisi". Oh yeah!

We have our own traditions unlike the indians where a woman is to ask a hand of a man in marriage, do u pipo expect her to go and marry a ghost in the name of marriage? after all marriage is not compulsory, why giving her the compulsion? Its a gift from God, so we have to be patient.
