Omotola Reveals How Much Her Daughter Meraiah Was Paid For Knorr Cube Advert
Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde is not big on granting interviews, according to her this is because she often gets misquoted and it spirals out of control. However, she sat down with Olisa Adibua for “The Truth” and nothing but the truth and gave some serious scoop into her life.
Here are the major excerpts from her interview with Olisa...
Though married for almost twenty years to husband Captain Matthew Ekeinde, Omotola has never cheated on her husband or been cheated on. She admitted that sometimes because she is human, she might notice that a guy is attractive but it stays that way.
Omotola met her husband in church, through his sister. His sister invited her to take a drive with her in her convertible car and unknown to Omotola, her husband Matthew was seated in the car. He showed up at her house the next day and they hit it off.
When asked to name her close pals in the movie industry, Omotola named hunky actor Chidi Mokeme as her best friend.
As an actress of her calibre, there has been chances for her to relocate but she turned it down twice. Why? She does not want to break up her family. According to her, it’s a sacrifice she has had to make because her husband does not want to live abroad and chances he will get a good job are not as high because there are already several pilots in America.
When asked about an estimate of her income for 2014, the actress who revealed that she is also into real estate was especially coy with her response. Olisa's blog reports that they suspect it MAY be somewhere around 250 million. But Omotola did shock them when she revealed that her daughter Meraiah, who is a Knorr ambassador was paid 2.4 million Naira for her role in Unilever’s Knorr cube advert.

No Man Turns Me On Except My Husband - Actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde Says
Multiple award-winning actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde in a new interview with NewTelegraph said she has never been attracted to any man other than her husband. She also made known her wish to have President Buhari scrap NYSC. Read excerpts from the interview below...
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.
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.
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.
