“If You Don’t Know Me, You’ll Think I Am Arrogant” – Omotola Jalade

Nollywood actress and philanthropist, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has indicated that people judge her wrongly thinking she is an extremely arrogant person.

Omotola Ekeinde told Chude in an exclusive interview that although some think that about her, she does not have problems with that because she has to do it to protect herself especially with people she does not know.

According to the mother of four, when she is close to someone, she is unguarded, she talks and plays a lot and revealed that she is very careless around people she loves and insisted that the only time she can guard herself is when she does not know you.

About a month ago, Omotola in an interview with BBC Yoruba advised women not to marry a man who is not financially stable or financially fit to cater to their needs.

“One must apply wisdom or common sense in everything one does. People cannot say that because I married at 18, therefore they can also do it.

The question is, ‘are you ready for marriage’? When I was 18, I was ready. I had been working since I was 15-year-old and I had become a millionaire at the age of 18. That is a fact that a lot of people don’t know. I had my own money.

I was not dependent on any man. Moreover, my father died early, so I was already responsible for my younger siblings. I was like their mother at that time, so I was very mature and financially prepared. One should not marry a man when one is not financially stable. If one does that, one would be going into slavery or better still, prison.

If any of my children, after considering all these factors, say they are ready for marriage, we (parents) would meet the person and if we like them, we would give them our blessings.”
