Omotola is not even influential in her state, talk less of Yorubaland, talk less of Nigeria, talk less of Africa. Those guys got their info WRONG.

Hello,
How is everything with you As I whisper my prayer today I went into search for a trust friendship I picked interest on you when i saw your profile and decided to contact you,I believe God have a purpose.I will be glad if you respond immediately at my email address (healingodion@yahoo.co.uk)I will also tell you more about myself and my pictures please kindly accept my request

This got me checking my dictionary for the meaning of 'influential'

Afam4eva: Now, this has got to be a joke. It seems the the word "Influential" has changed in meaning. If the had awarded her the best actress, it would have been understandable because that is subjective. But being influential means commaning a huge followership and respect and i don't think Omotola will make top 50 of the most influential people in Nigeria. But i will give her the benefit of the doubt and find out the criteria that these people use...Btw, can someone tell me which Nigerian artiste has the largest Twitter or Facebook followership. Something in me tells me that that was the criteria used. I hope not sha.

Maybe this thread will give you a little bit of understanding to how much follower-ship she can pull https://www.nairaland.com/1191529/omotola-becomes-first-nigerian-celeb

Lilimax: If Pope Francis is there, why is Pastor E.O. Adegboye not there . Does he not have influence? I doubt the list What is the yardstick for chosing these ones .

mr man who is pastor Adegboye, do you think this is a child's play? GO AND SLEEP.

Icons Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde Actress, singer, philanthropist, 34 By Richard Corliss April 18, 2013. The world’s most productive English-language film industry is not Hollywood but Nollywood. The teeming Nigerian cinema grinds out some 2,500 movies a year, mostly direct-to-DVD quickies mixing melodrama, music and an evangelical Christian spin. (Think Bollywood via Tyler Perry.) Employing a million Nigerians, Nollywood enthralls millions more who come for the thrills, the uplift and the artful agitations of Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde — the Queen of Nollywood. Called OmoSexy by her fans, she has made 300 or so features, from the 1996 Mortal Inheritance to the 2010 superproduction Ijé, shot partly on location in Los Angeles. Married to an airline pilot she wed on a flight from Lagos to Benin, Jalade-Ekeinde brings a juggler’s
grace to her roles as actress, singer, reality-show star, mother of four and philanthropist (the Omotola Youth Empowerment Programme). Success hasn’t spoiled Africa’s most renowned leading lady. Rather than going Hollywood, Omotola wants to stay Nollywood.

Juan65: mr man who is pastor Adegboye, do you think this is a child's play? GO AND SLEEP.

Pastor Adegboye if G.O of Redeemed Christian Church Of God world wide. For your information, I am not a Redeeem member. How Omotola influenced and is still influencing you beats my imagination. Think about that since it's no Child's play.

Policewoman: Omotola is not even influential in her state, talk less of Yorubaland, talk less of Nigeria, talk less of Africa. Those guys got their info WRONG.

It got me thinking as well of the meaning of influential again. The yardstick for choosing this people is beyond me.
