Nollywood star Omotola Jalade Ekeinde yesterday had a
Q&A session with her twitter fans at 4pm. Call it end of the year gift,
Omotola answered some personal questions, and her answers seemed as truthful as
they could get.
Omotola’s reality show, ‘Omotola The Real Me’ has enjoyed
massive views with several fans asking for additional stations to air the show.
The twitter Q&A confirmed to Omotola how much her fans adore her and how
eager they are to know ‘stuffs’ about her.
In a session that lasted hours, Omotola was asked
questions many celebrities would normally shy away from answering, and she
answered almost all, the ones she didn’t answer, she said would come up in her
memoir.
Fans asked about her relationship with Genevieve that
many fans believe it’s sever. While Omotola didn’t say they are good friends,
she also didn’t say they are not. “Thanks, we cool” was the answer she gave,
and to every other fan who asked she just said they were cool. Diplomatic uh?
And whoa! Omotola isn’t threatened about anyone’s
backside in Nollywood, even Mercy Johnson, the example given by the fan who
asked the question. Omotola says she’s proud of her body, her eyes being her
most prized possession, though some people she said thinks it’s her b*m.
Her take on plastic surgery was news recently and there
were reports she was considering having one. Omotola says the only thing she
said about it was, “nothing wrong with it if you need it.” That doesn’t me she
wants it, right? Why would she even when she’s faultlessly beautiful like some
fans say?
According to Omotola, she met her husband in the church
in 1994 when the captain came to pick his sister. Well, their love grew so
strong and she married at ‘an early age’ of 18. She says early marriage is the
best; she has all the time to achieve everything she wants to achieve now as
all her kids are already in the secondary school. To her, pilots should be the
best husbands because “they’ve seen it
all.”
Captain Ekeinde lost his job earlier in October when Air
Nigeria folded up. It was in the news briefly and fans wanted to know the
truth. Omotola confirmed that her husband lost his job because the company
folded, but he got another immediately.
So many Nollywood actresses have gone into music and most
have not been really welcomed as fans believe their songs aren’t good enough,
they should have stuck to acting. Some fans think Omotola didn’t do well in her
debut album too, but others think she did a great job with songs like ‘Gba’,
‘Honeyboy’.
Omotola said she went into music because she’s passionate
about it – and obviously not about the money for someone who disclosed she
charges N5m or even more per movie.
The Redhot Records boss wants to release a sophomore
album in 2013, but she’s scared. Well, she should be after the criticisms that
rocked Tonto Dike’s debut singles.
A house in Dubai? Omotola didn’t deny, she simply said
“yes”, she has a house in Dubai.
The Estate Management graduate of Yaba College of
Technology says Sound Sultan is her best friend in the industry, and true
they’ve been friends for long; according to her, he introduced Learning Field
Schools where her kids had their primary school education to her.
Of course you didn’t know this; Omotola used to listen to
Fuji music and her favourite then was Pasuma. She likes Etighi best, she
says…I’d like to watch her dance Etighi someday, it should be fun to watch, if
you know what I mean. She also disclosed the bad habit she has; biting her
nails.
So many questions from so many fans, that Omotola
couldn’t answer them all. She promised another session as she tweeted from her
bed (a fan asked where she was).
Omotola has this advice to youths; “Make hay while the
sun shines and ignore Noise!”
