Only My Husband Can Turn Me On – Omotola Ekeinde by Treash(m): 7:42pm On Aug 09, 2015 |
Ex-model and Ondo State-born
Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde is a Nigerian
actress, singer and philanthropist. The
award-winning actress has appeared
in over 200 movies and received
numerous high-profile awards.
Omotola is the first African celebrity to
receive over one million likes on her
Facebook page. Today, beyond her
show business accomplishments, the
mother of four has been applauded
for her remarkable humanitarian
efforts. In this interview with
Telegraph’s ABIOLA ALABA PETERS,
the beautiful wife of a pilot and
Member of the Order of the Federal
Republic speaks about her family,
politics and what has helped her get
to where she is today
Your children seem to be delving
into showbiz. Was it your idea or
their choice?
Absolutely not. It was not my idea or
their father’s, it was proudly their
choice. We are happy about it; we are
proud of them and that is why we are
supporting them. Only two of them
are into showbiz. One of my
daughters is into fashion; that is
Mariareh. Plans are already in top
gear for her to go study fashion in
school. My first son is a music
producer cum singer. He had wanted
to be a pilot, but for funny reasons,
he changed his plans and decided on
music.
Do you still influence their
decisions?
Not at all. I can only advise them.
When it involves their career, they take
decisions for themselves. If any of my
children wants to be a welder, I will
gladly support him or her and give
them the best of education in that
field.
How is your online store doing and
why such an initiative?
Oh wow! It’s doing very well. Our
clients and fan base keep growing by
the day. I am grateful to God for that.
If you were offered a ticket to
contest for the seat of a governor in
your state and it’s confirmed you
will win, would you consider the
offer?
I won’t accept the offer; but maybe, if
it’s in Lagos, I will accept the offer.
You have been involved in charity
work and some motivational
projects. How much joy does it give
you?
I have always been actively involved in
charity work, maybe you don’t see
them. I have just returned from South
Africa where I went for a program,
‘POVERTY S*XIST.’
What is that one thing or those
things your colleagues are fond of
in the industry and you are not
down with?
Those who are very close to me know
that too well, I can’t specify.
Have you ever been been attracted
to any man apart from your
husband?
No! I’ve never been attracted to any
man other than my husband. My
husband is sweet; he’s very cute,
handsome and attractive. He’s the
one man I have always been attracted
to all my life.
When will you produce your own
movie?
Well, maybe sometime in the future.
But for now, no plans whatsoever.
Twenty years down the line, how
has it been and what lessons do you
want your fans and other upcoming
acts to learn from your rise to fame
and fortune?
There’s so much to learn, and that’s
why I introduced my reality show,
‘THE REAL ME.’ It’s not easy getting
here, but I am thankful to God and
my husband. I couldn’t have achieved
this much without him. For my fans
and the rising stars, they should be
prayerful, determined, focused,
hardworking and by His grace, they
will get there.
What do you have for those who
have been wishing that your
marriage had hit the rocks a long
time ago?
They should keep wishing. That’s all I
have to say.
Three things you cherish about your
husband.
Oh my hero, my pillar of support, my
ever cute captain. I admire and
respect him for his calmness, dignity
and his love and fear for God. So
much I cherish about him, he’s one in
a million.
Do you still wash your husband’s
clothes and cook for him?
Well, he’s sitting next to me (pointing
at her husband). Maybe, you should
ask him.
What advice do you have for
President Muhammadu Buhari?
He should scrap NYSC. It’s not useful,
he should please do that for
Nigerians. Our children don’t need it
anymore.
Why do you want NYSC scrapped,
knowing fully well it’s a national
orientation programme?
I have looked at the programme
thoroughly and exactly what it’s
supposed to have achieved over the
years. Believe me, there is no credible
or tangible result. It’s a total waste of
time and resources and I think all the
time and resources should be
channelled into something more
resourceful.
For instance, I have had situations
where some members of my staff, in
the name of NYSC, left for a year only
to come back and their spaces had
been taken by another. You can
imagine. NYSC is not just adding any
value to our society or even to the
lives of our children. I am of the
opinion that it should be scrapped.
So what other useful and relevant
programmes do you suggest?
Skills acquisition. We have had
situations whereby the young ones,
after graduation, are with no jobs.
They start roaming the streets or even
go into crime to survive. This is an
urgent situation that needs to be
addressed.
Let us make good plans for our
children, instead of going to waste a
whole year of their struggle, claiming
they are serving their fatherland. They
should be trained and equipped with
skills. That way, their future is secure.
Where do you see yourself and
your children, especially those in
showbiz, in five years?
B y G o d ’ s g r a c e , five years from
now, I see them at the peak of their
careers, all doing us proud with their
different talents. .com/talk/topic,271099.0.html |
