Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde "I don’t think there is any man that can handle me apart from my husband" says Nollywood amazon
According to Omotola, only her husband can control her strong personality.
Nollywood amazon Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde in a recent interview has opened up saying that if she did not get married to her husband Captain Matthew Ekeinde, she probably wouldn't have gotten married.
According to Omotola, only her husband can control her strong personality. "I
don’t think so, because I don’t think there is any man that can handle
me apart from my husband. Not because I am a bad person, it is because I
am a very strong personality. I can understand why a lot of female
artistes find it very difficult to find the right person" she told Vanguard.
"When
you achieve some kind of success, you become really confused as to who
really loves you for who you are. It’s not really easy, it is very hard
finding those people who really love you. If you are not a very grounded
person, you can also contribute in some kind of way to your own
problems and so I might have contributed to my own problems" she further said.
Omotola Jalade who just bagged an endorsement deal with her second daughter Meraiah said she has no issues with her any of her daughters going into entertainment as long as she 'monitors' them. "Absolutely,
she can come into the industry. What our generation is doing by God’s
grace is to make sure that we work hard to leave infrastructure for
them. I don’t want my daughter to meet the industry the way I met it.
Luckily, we have been able to take some steps, we are working very hard.
As you know, I am building my film village" says Omotola, "the
whole idea is for them to have some sort of organization. The industry
has been disorganized for a very long time. Right now, it’s okay for her
to come into the industry, but she will be monitored. I can only do
what I can, in my own way to stabilize the industry."
During
the interview Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde was asked how she would react if
one of her daughters got married at the age of 18. "I don’t care
much about it. It’s not something I think about. It’s not my cup of tea.
I know people want me to think about that because I got married early.
What I always say to people is all fingers are not equal. The fact that I
got married early doesn’t mean my daughter must get married early.
My mother didn’t get married early. It doesn’t have to be hereditary" said the award winning actress.
"If
I like the guy and we feel like she is mature enough to handle it and
the person is responsible, then why not? We can endorse it. I don’t
regret anything. Everything is a blessing to me. I won’t stop her, but
it just has to be the right person. I married the right person" she also said.
