Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Nollywood’s leading lady and mother of four,
is not known as a woman who takes things with a pinch of salt. She has a
reputation of hitting back fast and hard whenever she is hit.
At
the Nigerian Entertainment Conference (NEC), which held last week,
Omotola told the audience that people should count her out of those who
hobnobbed with government either for businesses or pleasure.
“Somebody
on a blog a few days ago wrote that there are Nollywood personalities
who are friends with politicians, sharing the national cake together. I,
Omotola, have never campaigned or partied with any government, so don’t
mention my name among those who do that. I have suffered enough for
refusing to party with them and take ‘Ghana Must Go’ back home, so don’t
let me suffer more,” she stated.
“If, as an entertainer, you want
to be friends with politicians, do so without aligning your brand with
whatever the politicians stand for”.
