I Used To Preach Inside ‘Molue’ Buses-Omotola Jalade Ekeinde Opens Up In New Interview

We recently showed you photos of Omotola looking
stunning on the cover of TW magazine, now, we've
got tit bits from the interview she had with the
magazine where she talked about her life, growing
up, becoming a star, her acting career as well as
venturing into music.
The 36 year old Nigerian actress who was included in
TIME's list of 100 most influential people in the world
revealed that she came from a place where being an
actor was seen as a disgrace and she got into the
business to earn the respect of Nigerians.
Concerning those who see her as arrogant, she said,
"I realized I was different and it made me a target. A
long time ago, when it was not popular to do so, I
demanded that they pack my food on set. And they
said I was proud. I tried to fit in, in the past, but after
a while I feel I don't have to be apologetic. I asked,
'Why am I too fast?' God told me, if that is how I
made you, then don't apologise for it."
The proud mother of 4 children explained that she
became a born again Christian at the age of 15 and
since then, she has abstained from immoral vices.
"I gave my life to Christ when I was 15 years and I
used to preach inside 'molue'. It is important that you
find Christ and find him early. It is for your good. The
fact that I found Christ early helped me to be
focused. I always rely on God for direction (even
when I wanted to get married), I just have to find
peace with it and then go for it. I really did not
indulge in those things that could have exposed me
because I wasn't interested. I don't like clubbing. Even
when I was single, you would have to pay me to go
clubbing," she said.
Omotola who got married early at the age of 18 said
she is taking her music career in stride. She
disclosed, "I finished my second album since 2010
but it is not yet out contrary to insinuations. I am not
trying to be a Tiwa Savage. My career is like a
Barbara Streisand kind of career. I said I would bring
out an album every five years. The next step for me
is to have my own entertainment place where you
can listen to my music, watch my movies and
experience everything about Omotola."
Mrs Ekeinde wants to retain her youthful looks even
till she is 56. She said, "In the next 20 years, I am
hoping that I will be alive and God will grant me good
health. I hope to be a sexy grandmother as well."
