Omotola has done it again!!! Omosexy as we all call her has made Nigeria proud!!! She has proven to us that you can be a wife, mother, star, career woman, and still be successful. The sexy mother of four was listed as one of the most influential people of 2013. She was recognised by Times not only for her acting prowess and business acumen, but also for her Philantrophic works.Also included in the list are: Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Lindsey Vonn, Lebron James, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Kate Middleton amongst others.
Find below an excerpt from Time Magazine about Omotola:
“The world’s most productive English-language film industry is not Hollywood but Nollywood. The teeming Nigerian cinema grinds out some 2,500 movies a year, mostly direct-to-DVD quickies mixing melodrama, music and an evangelical Christian spin. (Think Bollywood via Tyler Perry.) Employing a million Nigerians, Nollywood enthralls millions more who come for the thrills, the uplift and the artful agitations of Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde — the Queen of Nollywood.
Called OmoSexy by her fans, she has made 300 or so features, from the 1996 Mortal Inheritance to the 2010 superproduction Ijé, shot partly on location in Los Angeles. Married to an airline pilot she wed on a flight from Lagos to Benin, Jalade-Ekeinde brings a juggler’s grace to her roles as actress, singer, reality-show star, mother of four and philanthropist (the Omotola Youth Empowerment Programme).
Success hasn’t spoiled Africa’s most renowned leading lady. Rather than going Hollywood, Omotola wants to stay Nollywood.”
